According to the OpenTable website, the Top 100 Hotel Restaurants in America list was generated from over 10,000,000 reviews from verified OpenTable diners and dining metrics from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025. “Restaurants with a minimum threshold of diner reviews were considered and evaluated by a compilation of unique data points, including diner ratings and the percentage of five star reviews.  Metrics were weighted to comprise an overall score.  The qualified restaurants were then sorted by the ability to book the hotel wherein the restaurant is located via KAYAK.com.  The resulting list appears A-Z, not in ranked order.”
