Virtually every restaurant is BYOB, as long as you're willing to pay a corkage fee of up to around $15. Just call the restaurant in advance, and instead of asking, "can you BYOB here?" just ask, "what's your corkage?" and they will tell you. Most restaurants will not let you bring your own if it is an item already on the restaurant's wine list, though.
 
BTW, I've found that, often, if I bring a bottle that is better (and older) than most on the restaurant's wine list, they never charge me the corkage. Sometimes, if the wine is good enough, the Sommelier hints very strongly at wanting a taste (they never ask outright), and I always oblige.
