TZR's 2025 Jet-Set Readers' Choice Awards

TZR’s Readers’ Choice Awards are celebrating the most enchanting waterfront restaurants in the U.S., where every meal comes with a view to remember. This year’s nominees transform dining into a destination, blending culinary artistry with the magic of being by the water. Picture golden-hour cocktails as the sun dips below the horizon, fresh seafood savored to the sound of waves, or candlelit dinners reflecting off city lights on the harbor. Each nominee offers an experience that feels as transportive as it is delicious, proving that the most unforgettable meals are always paired with a view.
