The 25 best restaurants in the US, according to travelers

"I have been to Rasika several times, and I have never been disappointed. The service is fantastic, and just adds to the dining experience. The palak chaat is a must have. We had three for our table of seven! The Toffee and Date pudding was a perfect ending!"-TripAdvisor reviewer Ellie M

"Robuchon was awarded the title of "Chef of the Century" and with dishes like truffled langoustine ravioli, caramelized black cod, king crab with caviar and Chateaubriand with foie gras will give you an idea why. The pampering service and the jewel-like mansion setting smother you in elegance and luxury." -TripAdvisor reviewer Rebekah H

"Besides the beautiful garden and skyline, the staff at The River Cafe, really go out of their way to treat you special. If you want to celebrate a special event, this is the place to go. The portions are small but delicious and the chef treated us to an amuse-bouche and then we got chocolates in addition to our desserts!" -TripAdvisor reviewer montymamma

"Our waiter was outstanding, he was very efficient without rushing our family gathering. The food was outstanding, try any of the traditional Greek dishes, you are in for a treat! The wine list was excellent and not over priced." -TripAdvisor reviewer ronald h

"Our business party of 10 enjoyed everything. The specials for the night were ordered by 2 (1 steak & 1 salmon) and both were excellent. Others had ribs, lamb shank, flat steak, king crab and there were no negative reviews. I'd like to return to try more of the menu." -TripAdvisor reviewer John B

"One of the best meals we have ever had anywhere! My husband had the trout Caesar and said it was one of the most interesting dishes he has ever had. Filet was perfectly cooked and excellent.I can't say enough about the atmosphere, service, and food. And the prices are incredibly reasonable."-TripAdvisor reviewer MandDplus2

"We were lucky enough to be seated at the Chef's Table one evening last week and had a great time. The food was outstanding and the service was wonderful. We tried several of the signature dishes and were happy with them all. It was really fun to sit and watch the crew prepare the food and ask questions. Great place. I highly recommend it." -TripAdvisor reviewer Sanford F

"My wife and I had the extreme pleasure of dining at Per Se prior to attending a show. What we discovered was that the dining experience at Per Se is an event in itself. Every table has a breathtaking view of Central Park through a wall of large paneled glass. Every course presented a taste sensation that we wanted to savor for an extended period of time." -TripAdvisor reviewer Ixthus72005

"I'm a fan of Tom Colicchio after watching Top Chef. I must say that Tom deserves his role. Everything was perfect at Colicchio & Sons. The ambiance and wait staff were excellent and the food was incredible. Every bite was truly delightful." -TripAdvisor reviewer catPlace

"If it’s a bucket list item...do yourself a favor and stop thinking about going and just go. The food is of course amazing. The pearl oysters with Ossetra caviar will make you weak in the knees but it’s the service that amazed us." -TripAdvisor reviewer pkelly8

"From start to finish, our dining experience was truly memorable. The wagyu beef ravioli appetizer was the best...and whatever magic the chef is making with the "catch of the day" is always a good choice, and our night proved that. Do not miss this restaurant if you are visiting Maui!"-TripAdvisor reviewer Don Z

"The salads are creative, the flavors of whatever meat you choose are true and fresh, the atmosphere is elegant, and the setting is beautifully tropical. We always try to have at least one meal at Mamma's whenever we are on Maui."-TripAdvisor reviewer LocalGirl55

While the bacon and egg appetizer was delicious, the highlight of our meal was the Strawberry shortcake, be sure not to miss it!"-TripAdvisor reviewer mkobo

"This was the most joyful restaurant…the service, the heavenly food, the space, the unique style, even being invited back to the kitchen where the chef made an indulgent snow cone for me...If Michelin could only give 4 stars, I would vote for this memorable/exquisite/gustatory heaven." -TripAdvisor reviewer Michael B

"From the initial greeting by our warm host to the friendly, efficient bar staff, to the attentive sommelier and knowledgeable server, the experience was nothing short of perfection. The menu and presentation were innovative; a visual art. As an appetizer we both had the risotto with rock shrimp, which could have been one of the best entrees we had ever experienced." -TripAdvisor reviewer RobertoandSteve

"Every employee was professional and gracious during our family evening...the jumbo lump crab cake appetizer was a hit with the seafood-centric Alaskans and the beefsteak tomato salad and steakhouse salad were both generous and delicious. The mains were beautiful and perfectly prepared." -TripAdvisor reviewer George R

There is a reason why it is a recipient of the AAA 5 Diamond Award, the food was amazing and beautifully plated, and the service was excellent.If my husband and I ever go back to Disney World we will definitely be visiting Victoria & Albert's again!" -TripAdvisor reviewer Janice H

"The food and service is amazing! The steaks just melt in your mouth. I had the chopped salad, and our table split the special brussell sprouts, lobster mac and cheese and the cream corn. All were so delicious. By all means, order the bread pudding. It is the best!" -TripAdvisor reviewer Owinsmom

They explained each dish and answered our questions. Our first dining experience in Austin - one we will not forget." -TripAdvisor reviewer claudes35

"By far the best overall restaurant experience of my entire life. From the moment you enter until your foot is out the door, you are treated like royalty. Service at its finest. Each and every component of each and every dish was absolutely perfect. Flavor combinations you only dream about come to life with every bite." -TripAdvisor reviewer Afossani

"From the minute we entered the door and were greeted by the person who seated us it was clear that we were in a very special place. The food was superb and is greatly deserving of the maximum number of stars. The delightful finishing touch, however, was the gift upon our departure of a lemon pound cake from the Maitre D." -TripAdvisor reviewer CeciliaWest
