Wine Spectator's Awards recognize restaurants whose wine lists offer interesting selections, are appropriate to their cuisine and appeal to a wide range of wine lovers. Only 3000 restaurants worldwide receive this honor.
Annie's wine list presents complete, accurate wine information, including vintages and appellations for all selections. However, Wine Spectator's panel of expert judges conveyed this award not just because the list was accurate and complete. An "Award of Excellence" implies a thematic match between quality and variety of wine and food, letting the customer know the venue takes pride in it's drink as well as food.

What is Zagat?

Tim and Nina Zagat established Zagat Survey® in 1979 by inviting avid diners to rate and review the restaurants they visited. Both native New Yorkers, these two successful Yale educated lawyers applied a unique premise that rating a restaurant on the basis of thousands of experiences was inherently more accurate than relying on one reviewer. Starting with the first Zagat NYC Restaurant Survey, that premise has proven true and Zagat Survey has continued to expand over the last 26 years. The company now offers guides to dining for more than 70 major markets, as well as guides for hotels, resorts and spas worldwide, family travel, entertaining, shopping, nightlife, movies, music, theater and golf.
