New Jersey was behind neighboring states such as Pennsylvania and New York, each having six make the list. California had the most on the list with a whopping 22 restaurants.

"Whether a restaurant has received national accolades or is built on local fanfare, our Top 100 reflects diners' favorite culinary experiences across the country," said OpenTable COO Andrea Johnston. "What ultimately ties these restaurants together is their excellent hospitality paired with incredible dishes, which is why diners are applauding them with rave reviews."
