The Boathouse and Gutenberg named two of the years best new restaurants

Dana Craig’s Best Restaurants of 2009 gives props to both The Boathouse at Rockett’s Landing and (the new) Cafe Gutenberg as two of “the best new local restaurants of 2009″. Speaking of Gutenberg she says:

This Shockoe Bottom café has a tumultuous history — from Tropical Storm Gaston’s devastation to almost closing last year. But this year saw Cafe Gutenberg reborn. It came back strong to define itself as a bona fide dining destination with a menu that celebrates the bounty of its neighbor, the 17th Street Farmers’ Market. Whether it be a local mushroom panino with scrambled eggs and Cabot Cheddar or grilled brats with ale-braised sauerkraut, it’s hard to find something not to like.

    I ate at the Baothouse a while back. Meh…. I’d rather eat at White Dog. The view was great, though.

    Yeah, I am not sure how Gutenberg made it. I loved the old Gutenberg, the new menu selections now I find very unappealing. Haven’t tried Boathouse yet but I will agree that it’s hard to beat White Dog!
