On our recent visit, the Ice House food was quite good, but the service was terrible. If a party of two comes in and all of the tables for two are taken, they won't seat you at a table for four. We waited an hour to be seated, while empty tables for four were available, and were only placed at...

From the extra sweet hostess looking after my aged aunt, to the yummy chicken sandwich, to the free bonus chocolate strawberries ... This was a nice treat, and is recommended. They really care and are working hard to make a happy experience.
