Best Dining for Foodies with Children:
LURE RESTAURANT, Edgartown
Traveling with your little ones? At the Winnetu Oceanside Resort on Martha's Vineyard, you can enjoy a family meal without dropping your dining standards. Kids get the pizza, chicken fingers, tacos, and other dishes that they love, while you get to enjoy a full menu of local seafood, island-raised lamb, and other exceptional "farm-to-table" dishes. Call for seasonal hours. Entrées: from $18. Winnetu Oceanside Resort, 31 Dunes Road. 508-627-3663; winnetu.com
Best Bistro:
ORAN MOR, Nantucket
Up a flight of copper steps from the street sits an intimate pair of dining rooms whose attractive earth-toned decor is a warm prelude to delicious, beautifully prepared food. Familiar dishes--grilled steak, roasted fowl, sauteed fish--are presented in novel guises, recognizable flavors coming together in captivating combinations. Call for seasonal hours. Entrées: from $32. 2 South Beach St. 508-228-8655; oranmorbistro.com
Best Gelato:
SOUTHFIELD STORE, Southfield
What was once the general store for a tiny rural hamlet has now become a casual culinary offshoot of the renowned Old Inn on the Green in nearby New Marlborough. Yes, the breakfast pastries are outstanding, and the dinners leave foodies sighing, but for visions of paradise don't miss the gelato--rich, smooth, and absolutely singing with pure, stunning flavor. 163 Norfolk Road. 413-229-5050; southfieldstore.com, oldinn.com
Best Hill-Town Dining:
GYPSY APPLE BISTRO, Shelburne Falls
Little bigger than a locket, Shelburne Falls has long had a disproportionate number of excellent eateries. The top spot belongs to this relative newcomer, where French technique frolics amid local produce and Caribbean influences. Entrées: from $22. 65 Bridge St.; 413-625-6345
