Second Place: Edo’s Squid
Third Place: Comfort
You’d be hard-pressed to find a person who dines out regularly who doesn’t include Acacia in his or her top three restaurant list. It isn’t just that chef Dale Reitzer continues to be recognized for his culinary skill — yes, the man is a master with anything from the sea — but it’s the entire package. Understated décor, fabulous cocktails, an affordable fixed price menu and a dessert list that would be at home in any big city make it unbeatable and a former Style Weekly restaurant of the year. Edo’s Squid, while easily the noisiest restaurant in town with so many hard surfaces, is the first choice for most any special occasion. And Comfort is just that: comfy, and with plenty of familiar and well-prepared choices for a Southern-style meal.
