Best Of The Best / 5 'Best Restaurant' Finalists for Best Of 2021 / South Florida Gay News

It’s time for South Florida Gay News’ annual poll to find out our reader’s favorites in the community in a variety of categories. I just happened to stop by our handsome, charming, and witty editor (shamelessly brown-nosing) Jason Parsley’s desk and spied a list of the finalists. Of course, my eyes zeroed in on the categories related to dining out. 

As usual, the “Best of” category is studded with the most popular places in our community. One thing is certain, there’s no way you could identify a “typical” restaurant from this group, the styles and cuisines are as varied as can be. So are the price-points, from casual to fine-dining. 

Here are the finalists for “Best Restaurant.” I’m listing them in alphabetical order so you can’t claim I’m showing my bias.
