    Overall a great experience. Food-wise, it lacked seasoning, not flavor but salt. The timing of our starters felt rushed and the food was luke-warm, which puzzled us since it wasn’t busy. Flavors we’re explosive and delicious but just not hot. The fries were awful & that’s saying a lot because, well, how can fries ever be awful?! Too much cinnamon & salt non-existent. Music was lovely. Server was A+, very attentive and friendly. I haven’t been to Icehouse since layout change, & it felt a little awkward to me. Not as upbeat but that may be because it was pretty early yet & weather conditions kept people at home. Not sure. This is all just my humble opinion. My honey and I have a background in hospitality, so we experience things differently. We always aim to be supportive, especially with these few venues that feature live music & we want to see thrive. Hope my insights are helpful. All the best!

    The flavors of everything worked great, but our food wasn’t very warm by the time it was delivered to us. This was all of the entrées as well as our Szechuan cauliflower. The music was wonderful, but it was a little loud for my taste. I love to listen to it in the background but also be able to enjoy a conversation at the same time.

    We were here for live music at brunch. The service was excellent! The menu items looked awesome, but I was really disappointed at the portions for the price. One dish, the fried green tomato benedict, consisted of two small fried tomato slices and two poached eggs with a bunch of greens for $13. I was assuming the description was of the toppings on an English muffin, not that the base was the tomato. We’d come back and give it another shot, but I was bummed to still be hungry.

    The jazz band and the ambiance were terrific. The expensive dinner was horrible, however. I'm pretty sure the regular cook called in sick. The crawfish beigets and the rice in the grain bowl were raw. The $30.00 salmon was overdone and the cheese grits had no taste. There is no way that is the usual or they would be closed up.

    This was my first time but won't be my my last. The live music was exceptional. Food was good great options 😋 service was ok the waitress forgot to bring me some items ordered but it wasn't worth making a big deal about it. Overall this is a beautiful space with amazing entertainment and good food! THANK YOU!

    We were greeted immediately and seated quickly. Our waiter was pleasant and efficient. Our food and drink came very timely. I had the smothered burrito which was a large meal and was very good and flavorful. Another had the meatloaf which was said to be bland. Another had the pork sandwich which was sad to be good. We would return here for dinner.

    Went on a non busy night between Christmas and New Years for our annual “Christmas Night” out. The entree’s were mediocre, the gumbo was in edible, the NA drink was undrinkable (tasted like sparkling apple cider vinegar) and the service was so slow that even though we had 2 hours before our show, these wasn’t time to look at a dessert menu before we had to go. Will not be returning.

    The service was not great - we waited 25 minutes for a drink, the food came out before we got our drinks. No acknowledgment or apology from our server. And how about festive decor? Nothin. It could have been any month of the year. With as stressful as life can be for so many these days, making the opportunity to celebrate the winter, a holiday season with a few lights and greens goes a long way. Curmudgeonly. I mean.

    The food was good and reasonably priced. We sat on the non-music side which was perfect for us as it would've been hard to hear anything otherwise. We were still able to hear the music but also able to carry on a conversation

    Food and drink choices combined with intimate stage-side tabling make Icehouse a favorite music venue. Dinner combined with the Django-styled jazz of Ryan Picone Quartet made for a truly great evening.
