"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."

Similar to last year, American and Italian cuisine dominated the list; however, this year French cuisine proved to be a new favorite, according to OpenTable.

Other global cuisines were represented on the list, such as Japanese, Latin American, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern, showcasing a growing appetite for more diverse and globally-inspired flavors, OpenTable said.
