This past weekend, SF Chronicle food scribe Michael Bauer released his annual 'Top 100 Bay Area Restaurants' guide. The usual suspects (RN47, Flour + Water, Frances, Barbacco) made the list during their first year out, while some notables from the 2009 list had to be cut. This morning, he writes about having to prunes some of his faves. Falling victim to Bauer's delete key from 2009 are: Aqua, Bistro Aix, Barber's Q in Napa, Buckeye Roadhouse in Mill Valley, Cortez, Fonda in Albany, Gitane, Jack Falstaff, Kokkari, Martini House in St. Helena, Marzano in Oakland, Matterhorn, Moss Room, Nick's Cove in Marshall, Nettie's Crab Shack, Sea Salt in Berkeley, Ton Kiang, Ubuntu in Napa.
