At GAYOT.com, we
take pride in bringing you up-to-the-moment
news about restaurant openings, and review
them as soon as we can to let you know if
they’re worth your time and hard-earned
money. These ten restaurants, which all
opened within the last twelve months,
represent the best of the rookie class. Two
of our favorites are actually re-openings in
new locations, while a third is so
well-regarded, that it made our top
steakhouse list.
