"Husband-and-wife team James Beard nominee Alex Perry and chef Kumi Omori work their magic at Vestige, an intimate bistro in downtown Ocean Springs. The menu combines contemporary American cuisine with Japanese influences, delivering a farm- and Gulf-to-table experience, with just-caught seafood, wagyu steaks, and museum-quality composed plates of greens and vegetables. The duo’s outstanding five-course tasting menu is $105 per person, an experience that would easily be twice the price in the big city. Reservations are required. And go to the Walter Anderson Museum while you’re there." - Sarah Bisacca
