2011 AWARDS SHORT LIST

The shortlist has been published, and we now need you to cast your votes in each category to find the winners of this years Best San Diego Restaurant Awards.

The shortlist has been decided upon by a group of passionate dining experts, ranging from owners of local businesses to expert chefs.  The process takes over 3 months as we eat, discuss, eat and argue.  Our shortlisted restaurants are judged not just the food but also service, ambience and the wine/drinks list.

Each of our categories has five finalists - and we can tell you that it was exceptionally hard to agree on a final five in many of them.  Now we hand the voting over to you, please only choose places that you have actually visited in the last 12 months, don't rely on their 'reputation'.

The best San Diego restaurant award is hotly contested every year - and we expect this year's winner to be even better than ever as the quality rises.
