While many of those places are fine dining, quite a few are not. Le Diplomate in DC for instance is an elbows on the table, lusty French bistro. Very good, but not traditional fine dining. Same with Zahav...

Tripadvisor lists are always a joke.

And no offense to GW Fins, but it at 5 is completely laughable. It wouldn't even be in the top 5 in New Orleans for me.

I had never heard this term. I googled it and got quite a NSFW pic on the first find.

I think we have to define what Fine Dining is...

But is there anyone on here that wouldn't put:

August
R'evolution
Herbsaint
Gautreau's
Commander's
Le Petite Grocery
Lilette

Just to name a few ahead of GW Fin's? That's not even including places like Compere Lapin.

Charleston is great, but 3 of the top 10 and 4 in the top 20?

get out of here.

With all due respect, I think you’re out of your fricking mind.

I don’t think very highly of Fins at all. It’s ok if you’re a tourist.

But those other places are head and shoulders above it.

Flight at #4?!

I loved that place but wouldn't be in a top 10-20 places I have eaten, and there are a lot of great places I haven't been to yet.
