Lakeview
Nine spots worth eating at in Lakeview. No stars, but plenty of receipts.
All nine land at Damn Good, with two Michelin Bib Gourmands, five Michelin Selected, and a James Beard Finalist in mfk. spread through the list. Nobody's cracked the top tiers yet, but the badge count says Lakeview isn't lacking for attention. Sushi, Mexican, Japanese, Vietnamese, Kurdish — the range is the point here, not one headliner. Come hungry.
