De retour au Icehouse après y être allé à quelques reprises quand ça venait d'ouvrir. Dans mon souvenir les plats étaient plus goûteux, surtout le burrito au steak que j'ai du arroser de sauce piquante. Portions généreuses par contre & le poulet & crevettes frits sont délicieux.

We chose this restaurant for our staff party at Burton Snowboard, & it was the best decision ever. The food was incredibly good, & the staff were very attentive.

truly our kind of place-& we can't believe it took us this long to discover it. A long-standing favorite for many, it now firmly holds that title for us too. The space is intimate & refreshingly straightforward, with great food, great drinks, & prices that feel more than fair. Every part of the experience hit just right.

The brisket sandwich was divine: melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly smoky, & deeply satisfying. The shrimp po' boy was phenomenal, & the fish Baja tacos were nothing short of incredible. Add to that drinks that were as fun & well-crafted as the lively atmosphere & music, & you've got a place that knows exactly what it's doing. To top it all off, the service was genuinely lovely. A total win from start to finish.

I love this place ! Eric in the kitchen is great! Fried chicken is amazing... best fried chicken to be honest. It's juicy & crunchy. The batter is TOP. Jalapenos Poppers with ranch, 7 layers with the good kind of tortillas chips. They have Tacos as well !!

There's also this Italian Father-Son duo that I adore , great service & great conversation.

Definitely a must try.
