OpenTable Restaurant Reviews Reveal the Top 100 Best Brunch Restaurants in America

As restaurants around the nation prepare for a delicious weekend of Mother's Day dining, OpenTable (OPEN), the world's leading provider of online restaurant reservations, is pleased to honor the 2014 Diners' Choice Awards winners for the Top 100 Best Restaurants for Brunch in America. These awards reflect the combined opinions of more than 5 million restaurant reviews submitted by verified OpenTable diners for approximately 19,000 restaurants in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Highlighting restaurants serving inspired twists on brunch classics, the complete list includes award winners in 28 states and Washington, D.C., such as Chicken and the Egg in Marietta, Georgia, Hundred Acres in New York City, and South End Buttery in Boston. California claims the greatest number of winning restaurants with 12, followed by New York with 10, and Washington, D.C., with eight. Florida and Texas have seven each, while Illinois has six and Pennsylvania has five. Colorado, Georgia, and North Carolina boast four winners apiece, while Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Virginia, and Washington have three. Hawaii, Louisiana, Massachusetts, and New Jersey each have two honorees. Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, Tennessee, Utah, and Wisconsin are also represented. The majority of best brunch restaurants specialize in American cuisine, but several international fares are popular, including Belgian, French, Latin and Mediterranean.

"This year's winning restaurants have recognized that brunch has become a national pastime for diners across America," said Caroline Potter, OpenTable Chief Dining Officer. "With delightful, handcrafted cocktails and fresh and flavorful dishes that range from comfortingly familiar to deliciously adventurous, the best brunch restaurants have created the ideal meal at which to celebrate the weekend, as well as special occasions."

The Diners' Choice Awards for the Top 100 Best Restaurants for Brunch in America are generated from more than 5 million restaurant reviews collected from verified OpenTable diners between April 1, 2013, and March 31, 2014. All restaurants with a minimum number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration. Qualifying restaurants were then sorted according to a score calculated from each restaurant's average rating in the "brunch" category along with a minimum "overall" rating.

Based on this methodology, the following restaurants, listed in alphabetical order, comprise the Top 100 Brunch Restaurants in America according to OpenTable diners. The complete list may also be viewed at http://www.opentable.com/m/best-brunch-restaurants-in-america/.
