Nine Southwest restaurants found themselves in prestigious company late last month when Florida Trend magazine honored them with Golden Spoons. 

The St. Petersburg-based magazine awards its top dining honor to only about 100 restaurants throughout the state each year, specifically to “outstanding fine dining restaurants that have demonstrated consistency in high standards and longevity, usually earned after three years in business or more,” according to floridatrend.com.

The Golden Spoons have been a Florida tradition for more than 50 years.
