I saw Japanese hipsters in Mexican wrestling costumes, hoods and devil wings.

Cioppino, West and Boneta did well. With Sun Sui Wah being edged out for top formal Chinese by the Kirin group (Chen's Shangahai won best Casual Chinese).

Fuel won top new fine dining over Chow.

I went to try Boneta last night. Last minute plans, but we called and they managed to fit our large party into a great table in their lounge. We were served by their "mixologist" who had an amazing amount of information about each of the drinks and the history of the building. The service was great and everyone complimented the food. I haven't been to many of the new restaurants this year, but from what I can tell Boneta worked hard for their top spot for best new informal restaurant.
