What's the best NEW restaurant you've been to in the last year? Any price point or style is fine. Just your favorite dining experience.

We know Tiger wise will say CCBBQ

I've really enjoyed The Overpass Merchant for casual dining and a great beer menu. Those brisket tacos are fire

Tacos Morro Loco in Birmingham, AL.

Best Mexican food I've ever had in my life. Cheap too.

Not sure if Shaya is still considered "new", but the lamb dinner entree I had a few months ago was phenomenal.

I'll add a vote for Umami.

Also really liked Kukhnya in New Orleans; not sure how new it is though.

Shaya, but then i sent my dad and uncle there and come to find out there is almost no meat dish on the lunch menu. I had told them to get the Wagyu. My dad ordered that and they gave him Lamb Ragu. lol



Of all the new places I went there four times. Meril is really good as well.

Cocha - the duck gnocchi was great as were the dolmas made with mustard greens instead of grape leaves.
Runners up: The Overpass Merchant and Curbside.

technicality if you count the pop-up at CWW or Grits, but I'll say Blue Oak since they officially opened last April.

It's that, the lamb Ragu and the whitefish on toast and then sandwiches. Odd no fish or steak offered for lunch. I felt bad for suggesting it and hyping it knowing they wanted something more substantial. I should have sent them to Meril.
