Why it Won: Our judges feel each of the individual items works well together to create a tabletop that's refreshing for a steakhouse and ties together well with the entire room. The food is not crowded on the plate because the plates are well proportioned, lending a look of authenticity. The shape of the light's base and the salt and pepper shakers are uniform which gives the tabletop a classy look.
