USA Today's 10 Best made a list of the best restaurants that opened in 2019, and a local Cincinnati-area restaurant made the list.

There were 10 restaurants chosen for the list, and Newport's The Baker's Table came in fourth place.

The Baker's Table serves breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner. The menus are seasonal and feature items such as hand-crafted bread, ricotta donuts, hand-cut pasta and salads. They have a full bar with craft cocktails.

A panel of experts partnered with 10 Best editors to pick the initial 20 nominees, and the top 10 were chosen by popular vote.

The winners were announced on Jan. 10.

The top-10 winners in the category Best New Restaurant were:

  1. Benno – New York
  2. Sawyer – Seattle
  3. Fox & the Knife – Boston
  4. The Baker's Table – Newport, Kentucky
  5. Vernick Fish – Philadelphia
  6. Mugen – Honolulu
  7. Elwood Restaurant –  Philadelphia
  8. Jeong Restaurant – Chicago
  9. The Elysian Bar – New Orleans
  10. Bayan Ko – Chicago

The Baker's Table also made Eater's list of the 16 Best New Restaurants in America in July.

"What makes a restaurant a tourist magnet and what makes it a standby? Many travelers long to find a gem tucked away on a small-town main street – the kind of place you want to linger in and then brag about to your Instagram followers. Locals, however, may find that what they actually need is a restaurant with a well-priced menu that outshines a home kitchen and rewards return visits. When a new restaurant like The Baker’s Table hits both marks, it has the makings of an essential," Hillary Dixler Caravan, restaurant editor of Eater, wrote.

The Baker's Table, 1004 Monmouth St., Newport, Kentucky.
