Four Buckhead Restaurants Make Open Table's Best 100 List

ATLANTA -- Four Buckhead restaurants have made OpenTable’s 2018 “100 Best Restaurants in America” list. The list of honorees is based on an analysis of more than 12 million reviews of more than 28,000 restaurants across the country submitted by verified OpenTable diners.

"The 100 Best Restaurants in America for 2018 are consistently putting out delicious dishes, providing impeccable service, and paying attention to every detail to orchestrate one-of-a-kind dining experiences time and again," the website said. "The list features restaurants of all types and allows diners to find the right restaurant for any occasion."

All of Georgia's restaurants on the list are in the Buckhead community. Here are the winners:

Atlas

"Great dinner with amazing service!"

88 West Paces Ferry Road NW

Blue Ridge Grill

"The Food was Awesome and our Server Jesse helped make our business dinner very successful," one reviewer said.

1261 West Paces Ferry Road NW

Bones

"I have had the pleasure to eat at Bones many times over the last 38 years," one reviewer said. "It has never failed to be a great experience and a great meal. Just wish I could go to Atlanta more often."

3130 Piedmont Road NE

UMI

"Umi is hands down best sushi in ATL. The servers are also the most knowledgeable in the city."

3050 Peachtree Road NW

While American and Italian proved to be the most popular cuisines, they were closely followed by French, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern. Hyperlocal cuisines including Californian, Hawaiian and Tex-Mex are also represented in the list. The diverse list points to an increase in appetite, from coast to coast, for adventurous eats, more exotic flavors, as well as travel-inspired dishes.

"The 100 Best Restaurants in America list gives voice to OpenTable's diner community by honoring the restaurants they love to visit and that consistently provide dining experiences that delight time and again," said Caroline Potter, Chief Dining Officer at OpenTable. "The diversity of this year's list truly showcases how OpenTable helps diners find the right restaurant for every appetite and every occasion."

The list is generated solely from diner reviews collected between November 1, 2017, and October 31, 2018. 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.
