Four Nashville restaurants make OpenTable’s Top 100 in America

Four Nashville restaurants earned spots on OpenTable’s 2026 Top 100 Restaurants in America list, making Nashville the only Tennessee city represented. Bastion, Kase x Noko, Locust and Noko, all locally grown restaurants, place Nashville alongside dining destinations such as San Francisco, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. Two of the four come from Noko Hospitality , which will soon open its third concept, Noko Yaki . OpenTable released the annual list reflecting diner reviews and demand Nov. 4. Restaurants are listed alphabetically, rather than ranked. Alongside this year’s list, the restaurant booking site released a dining trends report suggesting Americans remain willing to spend on restaurant meals, especially when there’s something to celebrate. OpenTable reported an 11% year-over-year increase in seated diners from online reservations on its U.S. platform from January through August 2026. In a separate diner survey, it found 76% of Americans expect to spend the same or more on dining out next year, while nearly seven in 10 expect to visit restaurants just as much, or even more often. Those occasions don’t have to involve birthdays or anniversaries, with more than one-third of Americans expecting to celebrate smaller, everyday wins with restaurant meals more often in 2027, a trend
