14 NYC Restaurants Named Among Top 100 In America

Fourteen restaurants in New York City 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 New York City on the list are:

Chambers

"The menu changes with what's available from their network of farmers, but veal sweetbreads and a Snowdance Farm chicken are signatures," OpenTable's editors wrote. "The wine list—the beverage program has a James Beard nomination—is built around producers who farm with care and is just as worth exploring as anything on the plate."

Kabawa

"Momofuku's first new NYC restaurant in years is reason enough to get excited. Another is internationally celebrated chef Paul Carmichael, who runs the show here by showcasing his Barbadian heritage through a three-course menu with dishes like jerk duck sausage and braised goat with spicy scallop creole," OpenTable's editors wrote.

Red Hook Tavern

"The James Beard-nominated chef behind Hometown Bar-B-Que runs a serious natural wine program here, pulling from small European producers and his legendary dry-aged burger alone is reason enough to book a seat at the restaurant—it's the kind of tavern where you’ll want to settle in for the night," OpenTable's editors wrote.

• Address: 329 Van Brunt St, Brooklyn, NY 11231
• Cuisine: American

Sailor

"Order dishes like the beloved roasted half chicken with a glass of light, fruity Cru Beaujolais from the thoughtfully curated list of small producers. Save room for the profiteroles drizzled in warm caramel sauce," OpenTable's editors wrote.

The Tavern at Gramercy Tavern

"Think braised pork shoulder with sweet potato, Brussels sprouts, and pickled Fresno or beef meatball over polenta with mushrooms and fontina. These dishes capture the soulful, farm-rooted cooking from executive chef Michael Anthony that has defined the broader Union Square Hospitality Group restaurant since 1994," OpenTable's editors wrote.

• Address: 42 East 20th Street, New York, NY 10003
• Cuisine: Market Cuisine
• Stars: 4.8

Una Pizza Napoletana

"Unsurprisingly, the pies—simple and classic on naturally leavened dough—are the stars at the bustling, elbow-to-elbow space. But don't miss the house-made gelato and fresh-fruit sorbetti, nor the standout wines from Campania," OpenTable's editors wrote.

• Address: 175 Orchard St, New York, NY 10002
• Cuisine: Italian
• Stars: 4.6
