Nothing here has broken into our top tiers, but Lakeview isn't hurting for proof of quality — two Michelin Bib Gourmands, five Michelin Selected, and a James Beard Finalist among just eight Damn Good spots. Mexican, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Middle Eastern — the range is the point. This is a neighborhood built on depth, not headliners.
