Three spots with national recognition, topped by Bern's Steak House, a 2016 James Beard Winner. Rocca is the Finalist, sitting at Delicious as F*ck with a Michelin One Star to back it up. Rooster & the Till rounds it out, a 2017 Semifinalist with a Bib Gourmand and our Delicious rating. Recognition isn't our rating — Bern's own Beard win lands it at Damn Good on our scale, not the top.
