OpenTable recently launched "Icons," a list featuring handpicked restaurants that the company believes deserve the title of "Icon," in Charleston. The inaugural list of Charleston Icons includes – Oak Steakhouse, O-Ku, Bearcat, Indaco, Maison, Jackrabbit Filly, and Ma’am Saab.
To earn the designation of an OpenTable Icon, restaurants must meet criteria including accolades like Michelin stars and James Beard Foundation awards and nominations, positive diner and critic reviews, celebrated chefs, and strong diner interest, among other factors.
Icons was designed to reflect the iconic status of 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.
"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."
