The following is accurate as of a mid-February press date and will be published in the April 2011 SLM. (NB: Readers will notice that one restaurant that has been on and off this list for the last three years, Mike Faille's Ol' Blue Eyes in Frontenac, is back on, with the latest prediction being "it'll open in 30 days." Regardless, Ins, Outs once again allowed an extra month with no guarantee that Blue Eyes will open even then.)
