2 FL Restaurants Named Among Top 100 In America

Two restaurants in Florida are among the 100 best in the country, according to a new list from OpenTable, a popular online reservation platform.

OpenTable said it sifted through more than 11 million reviews from verified diners between Sept. 1, 2025, and Aug. 31, 2026, and looked at other signs of a restaurant's popularity, including five-star ratings, how far in advance people booked tables, how often restaurants filled up and how frequently diners searched for them.

Restaurants had to meet minimum review requirements and be in good standing to qualify. The restaurants are presented alphabetically rather than as a ranking from best to worst.

Restaurants from Florida are:

• Bern's Steak House, Tampa — 4.8 stars: A longtime Tampa dining institution known for its extensive selection of steaks, expansive wine cellar and elaborate dessert experience. The restaurant is particularly famous for its dry-aged beef and Harry Waugh Dessert Room.
• Buccan, Palm Beach — 4.9 stars: A contemporary American restaurant known for its inventive small plates, globally inspired flavors and lively atmosphere. The restaurant features a changing menu emphasizing fresh ingredients and dishes designed for sharing.

The two Florida establishments were among restaurants from 21 states and Washington, D.C., recognized in OpenTable's 2026 list.
