Here's a list of the 101 Best Restaurants in America from The Daily Meal.
I've been to just a few of these (I highlighted the places I've been to in yellow - my notes are off to the side.) A lot of these restaurants I expected to be on the list. Biggest surprise has to be #18 - Arthur Bryant's BBQ in Kansas City. Definitely well-earned recognition for Bryant's among some of the giants in the fine dining scene.
