Bleh, I'm not sure what they're smokin' at 'Gourmet' magazine, but none of those restaurants would even make any list I know of. Harvest is way past its prime. Monarch is supposedly up and coming. Farottos! Are they kidding?? Skip that joint. No idea about Iron Barley, haven't heard about it at all.

If you're looking for new and hip, go downtown to Washington Blvd. Kitchen K is running the show down there.

If you're looking for elegant, gourmet food, you have to go to Giovanni's on the hill. Without a doubt the best in the city.
