We all want a little advice when we’re making a dinner reservation, from time to time, and often it’s food writers and critics that send us to the best restaurants. That’s why we enjoy seeing the annual awards from the Southern California Restaurant Writers Inc., a group formed nearly 40 years ago to keep a finger on the pulse of the region’s dining.
This year the group awarded Disneyland Resort a dozen awards to eight restaurants – two in Disneyland Park, two in Disney California Adventure Park and three in Disneyland Resort hotels.
Here are the awards:
Golden Bacchus Wine Award (the highest wine award):
Carthay Circle Restaurant and Lounge (Disney California Adventure park)
