The annual winners of the Chef's Hat Award are chosen for superior food, service, and ambiance. Winners are nominated by Tables Magazine readers and vetted by the Tables Board of Judges.

In an award ceremony held at The San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino's International Ballroom, winners received an exclusive plate featuring an embossed chef's hat and the Tables Logo. The plate is mounted on a wood base, with a brass plaque affixed.

Restaurants that have won the award for four years go into the Tables Magazine Hall of Fame. The Judges, recognizing the outstanding skills of the chefs of those restaurants, award them personalized medals the 5th year.
