How to find the hottest restaurants in the city

DALLAS (KDAF) — OpenTable has 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.

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.

OpenTable will continue to unveil and spotlight additional Icons throughout the year. The inaugural class of Icons includes various cities and areas, including Dallas-Fort Worth’s José, Nick and Sam’s Steakhouse, Quarter Acre, Roots Southern Table, and Town Hearth.
