**The Top Restaurants for Outdoor Dining Methodology: OpenTable’s Top Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in the US for 2025 list is generated from over 10,000,000 reviews from verified OpenTable diners and dining metrics from April 1st 2024 – March 31st 2025. OpenTable looked at cities (with a minimum of 200k outdoor seated diners) with the highest share of outdoor dining from May 1st – August 31st, 2024. Restaurants with a minimum threshold of diner reviews were considered and evaluated by a compilation of unique data points, including diner ratings, the percentage of five star reviews, the number of alerts set, the percentage of reservations made in advance, percentage of capacity and direct searches. Metrics were weighted to comprise an overall score. The qualified restaurants were then filtered by having outdoor dining. The resulting list appears A-Z, not in ranked order.
