Best Restaurant
Pecorino.

This underpublicised Italian restaurant serves excellent family style cuisine. One of the best Italian places around right now.

Best Romantic Restaurant
Il Cielo.

This restaurant features a large patio and candles, beautifully folded napkins, and seats about 80-100. Pasquale, the owner, takes really good care of guests.

Best Wine
Patina at the Disney Concert Hall.

Their sommelier can pair the perfect wine to anything. And he always has a story of where the wine comes from and why he chose it.

Best Bar for a Business Drink
The Grill.

That's where business is discussed. It's not necessarily quiet, though, because it's all industry people and deals are being made.

Best Steak
Mastro's Steakhouse.

This place has a fabulous upstairs with a very long bar and a piano. It used to be a jockey's club.
