Boston Magazine has released its annual list of the best restaurants in Boston, highlighting some of the city’s top spots for dining. A few South Boston restaurants made the cut, but one notable name was missing — Dalia, which recently earned national recognition as one of the best restaurants in the country.

Dalia did, however, make Boston Magazine’s Best New Restaurants List.

So, who made the list, and who got overlooked? Check out Boston Magazine’s Best Restaurants in Boston and see if your favorites made the cut.

See the South Boston/Seaport restaurants included below:

16. Lenox Sophia

Why It’s Tops: Dining here is like having a bestie who just happens to be a Michelin-recommended chef.

The Proof: With just 16 seats and an open kitchen, chef-owner Shi Mei invites diners to a food nerd’s dream come true, a highly intimate seasonal five-course prix fixe (one for omnivores, the other for vegetarians) while showcasing his skill with delicate presentations and deep, complex flavors. Bonus: Because it’s BYOB, this is one opulent meal where splurging on wine won’t kill you.

32. Fox & the Knife

Why It’s Tops: Even with a bigger, younger sibling down the road, Fox & the Knife still stands out for Karen Akunowicz’s playful red-sauce riffs.

The Proof: Yes, the pastas are serious business—take the saffron-spiked spaghetti con vongole. But any restaurant that serves frosé topped with gummy peach candy, passion-fruit panna cotta with crispy streusel, and amari flights knows that food is best served with a wink.

40. Row 34

Why It’s Tops: Row 34 has New England seafood down cold—but the menu still has its share of twists.

The Proof: Start at the raw bar, where the local shellfish is impeccable, then work your way through faithful renditions of the classics, including lobster rolls and chowder. Just when you think you know exactly what kind of seafood restaurant this is, out comes lobster-roe linguine with shrimp, mussels, and smoked uni butter.

48. Woods Hill Pier 4

Why It’s Tops: Showcasing meats from the restaurant’s own New Hampshire farm, Woods Hill makes serious sustainability feel downright indulgent.

The Proof: Start with a trio of raw Vermont cheeses, sip a mezcal-and-sherry cocktail with Woods Hill Farm’s maple syrup, and then explore the farm’s grassfed proteins in excellent dishes like house-made creste di gallo pasta with black-garlic braised lamb. Bonus: Sibling/neighbor the Block at Woods Hill has a market full of local goodies to bring back home.
