California's Best Steakhouses Revealed: 2016 List by OpenTable

Steak lovers, rejoice! This one's for you. As we head into the holiday season and you're looking to grub on some of the best steak-centric meals around the state of California, OpenTable's newest Top 100 list has you covered. The online restaurant reservations site revealed this week the The 100 Best Steakhouses in America 2016.

The winners were chosen from a pool of some 20,000 eateries across the nation, based on the combined the opinions of more than 5 million reviews, according to the company. OpenTable only used reviews that were left between Oct. 1, 2015 and Sept. 30 of this year.

"All restaurants in the 'steak' cuisine category with a minimum 'overall' score and number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration," OpenTable says of its methodology. "Qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted according to their overall food rating."
