Three restaurants in Georgia 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.

All three Georgia restaurants recognized on the list are located in Atlanta.

Restaurants from Georgia are:

Bones, 3130 Piedmont Road NE, Atlanta — 4.9 stars: A longtime Buckhead steakhouse known for its prime steaks, seafood, extensive wine selection and traditional fine-dining atmosphere. The restaurant is especially popular for business dinners, anniversaries and other special occasions. In a recent five-star OpenTable review, diner Christine wrote, "Another fabulous dinner at Bones! Always reliable for a wonderful experience. Excellent food and service!"
La Grotta, 2637 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta — 4.9 stars: An upscale Italian restaurant that has served Atlanta diners since 1978. Located in Buckhead, the restaurant specializes in Northern and regional Italian cuisine, with an intimate dining room overlooking landscaped gardens. In a five-star review dated Oct. 28, diner Jason wrote, "As always, a fantastic experience. Great food, staff and ambience."
UMI, 3050 Peachtree Road NW, Suite 1, Atlanta — 4.8 stars: An upscale Japanese restaurant in Buckhead specializing in sushi, sashimi and contemporary Japanese cuisine.
