A big night for the local hospitality industry.
On Monday, the Culinary Guild of Windsor partnered with the Ontario Restaurant Hotel Motel Association of Windsor for the second year to celebrate their businesses.
Eight awards were handed out including Best New Restaurant for 2018.
That honour went to Kingsville's The Grove Brew House.
General Manager Tyler Getty says they wanted to make sure they had something for everyone.
"Our vibe suits all ages from young families all the way up to retirees," says Getty. "We've got great offerings for all kinds of folks, food and beer alike."
