This week we tasked the nominees that are up for Casual Restaurant of the Year with answering this:

What is your go-to place when you feel like getting all dressed up or have a special occasion?


Baan Siam
Tom Healy, one of the Managing Partners of Baan Siam
The Dabney has always been a favorite. The service and food are always amazing. 

La Famosa
Chef Joancarlo Parkhurst, Chef & Partner at La Famosa
After a lifetime of wearing suits, very often, I despise getting dressed up. If I go somewhere nice, it would be Sushi Nazakawa or Centrolina because the food is really good.

Makan
James Wozniuk, Chef/Partner at Makan
The last time I had the chance to dress up was at Brass Heart in Chicago and it was amazing.

Ruthie’s All-Day
Matt Hill, Owner/Chef, Ruthie's All-Day
I recently took my wife to Thompson Italian for date night. It's a great neighborhood spot and super convenient when you have two young boys at home. We love to support local businesses.
