I really can't understand how this place still manages to get good reviews, it makes me wonder if people just feel the need to give a place praises because that's what everyone else has been saying.
I had like everyone else, heard great things about Icehouse and was told it was a must try. My sister on the other hand warned me that it really wasn't worth trying, she was right.
The service was horrible!! The concept of not having a menu for every table and only having it on the wall really fails to work when your location is L shaped and half the restaurant has to get up and awkwardly stand beside other tables as they eat and chat while you in a rushed fashion try and decide what you'd like to eat.
I was willing to put the crappy service, crappy menu placement and lame, nasty, gimmicky serving aside (they basically dump the food on the table) as long as I was about to eat some great food, that didn't happen either.
We were a large enough group with big enough bellies that we were able to sample almost all that the menu had to offer and didn't find a single item worth going back for not to mention that their fried chicken has to be one of the nastiest things I've ever tasted.
You won't be seeing me at icehouse anytime soon and I know that I speak for everyone that was with me in saying...not deserving of the hype
