Award is bestowed upon only the most distinguished restauranteurs.
To become eligible for the Award, restaurants must first be in operation,

independent 75-point inspection of the property is conducted to review
the quality of food and wine, service, and physical property and décor.
The DiRNA
Award is the only program of its kind, scrutinizing every aspect of
the dining experience from the making of the reservations to the presentation
of the check. “At 75 Chestnut we continually strive to provide our
guests with the ultimate dining experience each and every day,” said
Thomas Kershaw, owner. “it certainly is an honor to be given the DiRNA
Award and considered among the best restaurants in North America.”
