SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6, 2017
/PRNewswire/ -- From impeccable service to one-of-a-kind
dining experiences, OpenTable, the world's leading provider of
online restaurant reservations and part of The Priceline Group
(NASDAQ: PCLN), today reveals its 100 Best Restaurants in America
list for 2017. The list of the 100 Best Restaurants in America
reflects the combined opinions of more than 12 million restaurant
reviews submitted by verified OpenTable diners for more than 26,000
restaurants in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
From restaurants with world-renowned chefs to breakthrough
newcomers, the complete list showcases a diverse group of
restaurants in 24 states and Washington,
D.C. California and
New York are tied at the top of
the list, each boasting 19 winning restaurants, followed by
Illinois and Pennsylvania with eight, Washington D.C. with seven and Texas with five. Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Ohio, and South
Carolina all boast three winners while Hawaii, New
Jersey, North Carolina and
Virginia each have two.
Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Kansas, Louisiana, Nevada, New
Mexico, Oklahoma and
Washington are also
represented.
While American, French, and Italian cuisine proved to be the
most popular, there is a growing presence of globally inspired
cuisines on the list, including Mediterranean, Japanese, Indian and
Middle Eastern. The range of cuisines highlighted points to diners'
growing appetites for more exotic flavors and destination-driven
offerings.
"While the winning restaurants this year are each distinctive,
they all consistently deliver exceptional dishes, impeccable
hospitality, and a meal to remember," says Caroline Potter, OpenTable Chief Dining Officer.
"This year's honorees have risen to the challenge of providing
outstanding experiences time and again to a nation of discerning
guests."
The list is generated solely from diner reviews collected
between November 1, 2016, and
October 31, 2017. All restaurants
with a minimum "overall" score and number of qualifying reviews
were included for consideration. Qualifying restaurants were then
sorted according to a score calculated from each restaurant's
average rating in the "overall" category.
Based on this methodology, the following restaurants, listed in
alphabetical order, comprise the 100 Best Restaurants in America
for 2017 according to OpenTable diners. The complete list may also
