“The Top 100 Hot Spot Restaurants in America list for 2017 highlights restaurants with not only delicious food and drinks, but vibrant bar scenes, live music and festive atmospheres,” OpenTable explained on its website.

OpenTable is a website that is meant to connect people with restaurants across the country and the globe. The site enables users to make reservations online while also providing them reviews and a way to leave their own feedback.
