The 100 most scenic restaurants in the US

There are plenty of things to consider when choosing the perfect restaurant – and in the world of Instagram, the scenery can be just as important as the quality of the food.

Restaurant booking site OpenTable has rounded up the 100 Most Scenic Restaurants in the US in 2018 in order to find out where you’ll get the best photos while you dine.

The list was generated based on the reviews of over 12 million verified OpenTable diners between June 1, 2017 and May 31, 2018 for more than 28,000 restaurants in all 50 states and Washington D.C.

In order to determine the top 100, the restaurants were scored and sorted according to the percentage of reviews which selected “scenic views” as a special feature.

25 states feature in the final list, with California, Florida, and New York coming out on top.

From seaside views to sparkling skylines, scroll down to see the 100 most scenic restaurants in the US, ranked in alphabetical order.
