OpenTable diners name the 100 best restaurants in the USA
More than 12 million OpenTable diners have named their top restaurants in the USA.
They range from restaurants with celebrity chefs to small, hidden gems.
The verified diners reviewed more than 28,000 restaurants in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. New York had the most honorees, with 24 restaurants on the list.
California followed with 15. Illinois had nine thanks to Chicago. And Texas had eight. Pennsylvania had seven winners and Washington D.C. had six.
The most popular cuisines were American and Italian. French, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern followed closely behind.
“The diversity of this year’s list truly showcases how OpenTable helps diners find the right restaurant for every appetite and every occasion,” Caroline Potter, chief dining officer at OpenTable, said.
The list was generated from diner reviews collected between Nov. 1, 2017, and Oct. 31, 2018. All restaurants had a minimum "overall" score. The number of qualifying reviews also was taken into consideration. Qualifying restaurants were sorted according to a score calculated from each restaurant's average rating in the "overall" category.
