It's time to update the Eater 38, your answer and ours to any question that begins, "Can you recommend a restaurant...?" This highly elite group covers the entire city, spans myriad cuisines, and collectively satisfies all of your restaurant needs, save for those occasions when you absolutely must spend half a paycheck. Every couple of months, we'll be adding pertinent restaurants that were omitted, have newly become eligible (restaurants must be open at least six months), or have stepped up their game.

This time around, after much reflecting and poring over reader emails and comments, the 38 bids farewell to two spots that recently underwent chef changes — jury's still out on updates to the Bent Brick and Genoa. In their place come two passionately beloved reader favorites: the hot chef counter at Trent Pierce's modern seafood spot Roe, and the lively bistro approach of Gabe Rucker and Erik Van Kley's Little Bird.
