The temperatures in Georgia are starting to warm up -- and three Georgia restaurants are following suit.

OpenTable has released its list of the top 100 hot spot restaurants in America for 2017, which "highlights restaurants with not only delicious food and drinks, but vibrant bar scenes, live music and festive atmospheres. The list of honorees is based on an analysis of 10,000,000+ reviews of more than 24,000 restaurants across the country — all submitted by verified diners."

Making the cut in our state are Atlanta restaurants Two Urban Licks in Old Fourth Ward and O-Ku in West Midtown and O-Ku Japanese restaurant in West Midtown. The Grey in Savannah also made the list.
