POLL: Where is the Best Fine Dining in Elk Grove?

Get ready, Elk Grove: It's time for a fine-dining faceoff.

We've put together a list of special-occasion restaurants based on our staff's experience and suggestions from our readers.

Now it's your turn: Tell us which of the restaurants below you like the best and why. You can click on the restaurant's name below to , leave a comment on this article or vote in the poll.

This gourmet throwdown is part of , in which we post a category each week and you pick the winner from among Elk Grove businesses and organizations.

We've defined 'fine dining' broadly here—you won't necessarily find tuxedoed waiters serving multiple courses at these restaurants. But they are all places where you might go to celebrate a graduation or impress a date—where the prices for some dishes may be splurgy but the food says, 'We're worth it.' Chain restaurants were excluded. If you think we've left someone out, write them in!

We'll post the winner on Friday, based on your responses. Don't forget to leave a review in our directory, Patch Places, by clicking on the restaurant's name below; reviews count extra in the tallying.

Now, without further ado, the nominees:

Note: This poll is not scientific, and is not the sole consideration in choosing a winner. The winner will be determined based on poll results, comments on this page and on ratings and reviews on Patch Places. Hint: The ratings and reviews count extra.
