Best Local Fine Dining
Chandlers Steakhouse
Readers' Picks
After Rex Chandler conquered almost every Best of Boise dining category last year, he decided to play it slightly more modest this go-around, clinching only victories in the two categories that typify exactly what Chandlers is all about: fine dining and fine steaks. (Oops, we just ruined the surprise in the latter category, didn't we?) At least in this category, it was a rather close race. Congrats to Berryhill and Cafe Vicino for a decent run. Chandler, however, is quite happy to stay where he is: at the top of the fine dining heap.
Second Place: Berryhill & Co.
Third Place: Cafe Vicino
