SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- There are two local establishments that are considered among the highest-rated fine-dining restaurants in the country, according to a recent study. Researchers with Restaurant Furniture, a commercial furniture supplier, delved into Google review data to identify the finest eateries with at least one Michelin star. From there, they determined which spots had the highest percentage of five-star reviews on Google. "This study considered only restaurants with one or more Michelin stars as a starting point due to the prestigious reputation associated with receiving such an award," said Nick Warren, head of ecommerce at Restaurant Furniture. "The final ranking then reveals how everyday customers rated each restaurant, as opposed to food critic reviews."  Cheers: Two San Diego restaurants among top 100 in US, says OpenTable Their are two culinary gems in San Diego County that made the top 50. Can you guess which spots? Ranking No. 22 on the list is Jeune et Jolie, which is located in North County's Carlsbad. The restaurant plates “reimagined” French Cuisine. This restaurant offers a four-course meal, as well as an an à la carte menu. Guests will also have the choice to sip on some classic French cocktails, or some chic California-style drinks.

This popular establishments serves traditional Japanese Omakase cuisine like sushi and sashimi. What does Omakase mean? It's a Japanese phrase and dining experience where the chef controls the meal and the diner leaves the details to the chef. Patrons and chefs share a drink at Soichi in the University Heights neighborhood of San Diego. The restaurant's omakase experience, a "chef's choice," multi-course offering, was ranked best in the country by Yelp.

"This may suggest that Japanese restaurants hold their customer experience to a higher standard than other cuisines, which is then reflected in user reviews.”  Here's a look at the full rankings, listing the 50 highest-rated fine-dining restaurants in America, based on this study: Few and far between: Rare comet streams across San Diego sky Rank Restaurant name Location Cuisine Number of 5-star Google reviews Total number of Google reviews Percentage of 5-star Google reviews 1. Ogawa Miami, Florida Japanese 152 154 98.70% 2. Uka Los Angeles, California Japanese Contemporary 120 122 98.36% 3. Soseki Winter Park, Florida Fusion 236 243 97.12% 4. Essential by Christophe New York, New York French Contemporary 235 255 92.16% 5. n/naka Los Angeles, California Japanese 438 476 92.02% 6. Hiden Miami, Florida Japanese 102 111 91.89% 7. Ever Chicago, Illinois Creative 267 293 91.13% 8. Lazy Betty Atlanta, Georgia Contemporary 842 924 91.13% 9. Noda New York, New York Japanese 121 133 90.98% 10. Kadence Orlando, Florida Japanese 294 324 90.74% 11. Frevo New York, New York Contemporary 540 596 90.60% 12. minibar Washington DC Contemporary 307 340 90.29% 13. Oriole Chicago, Illinois Contemporary 465 516 90.12% 14. Victoria & Albert's Orlando, Florida Contemporary 336 373 90.08% 15. EL Ideas Chicago, Illinois Contemporary 309 344 89.83% 16. Soichi San Diego, California Japanese 321 358 89.66% 17. Bell's Los Alamos, California French 469 524 89.50% 18. The Shota San Francisco, California Japanese 175 196 89.29% 19. Madcap San Anselmo, California Contemporary 240 269 89.22% 20. Atomix New York, New York Korean 324 368 88.04% 21. Beckon Denver, Colorado Contemporary 330 375 88.00% 22. Jeune et Jolie Carlsbad, California French 689 787 87.55% 23. Albi Washington DC Middle Eastern 574 657 87.37% 24. The Kitchen Sacramento, California Contemporary 590 678 87.02% 25. Birdsong San Francisco, California Contemporary 347 399 86.97% 26. Shin Sushi Encino, California Japanese 106 122 86.89% 27. Lazy Bear San Francisco, California Contemporary 889 1,025 86.73% 28. Temporis Chicago, Illinois Contemporary 201 232 86.64% 29. Jua New York, New York Korean 438 506 86.56% 30. The Inn at Little Washington Washington DC American 880 1,017 86.53% 31. Pineapple and Pearls Washington DC Contemporary 399 462 86.36% 32. The Wolf's Tailor Denver, Colorado Contemporary 624 724 86.19% 33. Holbox Los Angeles, California Mexican 1,095 1,272 86.08% 34. Californios San Francisco, California Mexican 382 444 86.04% 35. Wakuriya San Mateo, California Japanese 159 185 85.95% 36. Blue Hill at Stone Barns Tarrytown, New York American 1,020 1,192 85.57% 37. Aubergine Carmel-by-the-Sea, California Contemporary 142 166 85.54% 38. 63 Clinton New York, New York Contemporary 292 342 85.38% 39. Brutø Denver, Colorado Mexican 218 256 85.16% 40. Tempura Matsui New York, New York Japanese 269 316 85.13% 41. Harbor House Elk, California Californian 165 194 85.05% 42. The Surf Club Restaurant Surfside, Florida American 319 376 84.84% 43. SingleThread Healdsburg, California Contemporary 512 604 84.77% 44. Sushi Nakazawa Washington DC Japanese 338 399 84.71% 45. Localis Sacramento, California Californian 433 513 84.41% 46. Omakase Yume Chicago, Illinois Japanese 187 222 84.23% 47. O' by Claude Le Tohic San Francisco, California French 90 107 84.11% 48. Atelier Crenn San Francisco, California Contemporary 539 641 84.09% 49. Rose’s Luxury Washington DC Contemporary 1,371 1,637 83.75% 50. Boia De Miami, Florida Contemporary 438 524 83.59% Credit: Restaurant Furniture If you're looking for a nice restaurant, Jeune et Jolie or Soichi may be great options locally.
