Best Contemporary American Restaurant

Eleven

1150 Smallman St., Strip District
412-201-5656 or www.elevenck.com

Exactly 11 years after opening, this exponent of contemporary American cuisine remains a huge favorite for Chef Derek Stevens' seasonal menu — from roasted chicken to sea scallops with grits, and from tuna tartare to the celebrated Eleven Burger. Add its elegant yet casual atmosphere and extensive but carefully curated wine list, and Eleven still goes to 11.
