For a big night out, start with OpenTable’s list of 100 best restaurants
Contemplating a big night out to celebrate a special moment? OpenTable compiled a list of 100 places to choose from, ones with “upbeat energy, innovative cocktails, robust wine lists, and, of course, outstanding food,” according to a Tuesday news release.
California had the highest number of restaurants that made the cut: 18, with eight in Southern California. The list is based on more than 12 million reviews on the site, the release said.
The L.A.-area eateries are:

►Bavel DTLA, a kitchen that accents Middle Eastern flavors, at 500 Mateo St. in Los Angeles;
