Icons is live in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Los
Angeles, San Diego,
San Francisco, Toronto and Washington, D.C., with more
cities to come
SAN FRANCISCO, July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenTable today
launched Icons, a new, city-specific destination within the
platform for diners to discover and book the hottest and most
in-demand tables. Icons was designed to reflect the iconic
status of these restaurants with enhanced branding and an elevated
search experience. Icons does the heavy lifting for diners by
curating each city's top hot spots and surfacing the soonest they
can get a table.
To earn the designation of an OpenTable Icon, restaurants must
meet criteria including accolades like recently earned MICHELIN
stars and James Beard Foundation awards and nominations, positive
diner and critic reviews, celebrated chefs, and strong diner
interest, among other factors.
"With Icons you can easily see the soonest you can get a table
at award-winning and in-demand restaurants," said Debby Soo, CEO of OpenTable. "We want to help
all diners experience these incredible restaurants – enhancing the
search experience is just the beginning."
Icons is live with 100+ restaurants in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Los
Angeles, San Diego,
San Francisco, Toronto and Washington, D.C. with Houston and New York
City launching later this month.
"It's a privilege to be a part of Icons and to be featured
alongside some of the restaurants I admire most in Chicago and beyond," said Erick Williams, chef and owner of Virtue
Hospitality Group. "My time working with OpenTable, both on the
floor and on their Advisory Board, has allowed me to experience
their deep-rooted commitment to the restaurant industry firsthand.
The introduction of the Icons program is a testament to their
ongoing dedication, celebrating the people and places shaping the
culinary world."
