Word on the street is that “Icon,” the pseudo-hip eatery on 15th and R St, will be closing its doors soon. In its place will be a sports bar and restaurant. I’m sure the menu will include wings, burgers, chicken fingers and club sandwiches among other choices.
While Icon was never my favorite restaurant, it was a pretty neat spot that made one hell of a French Dip. Also, I heard many rumors from men and women alike that the servers were quite flirty and worth going back for. Good luck to whoever takes over the spot as Sammy Chu’s and now Icon have fallen. Could it be that being located next to Empire is actually NOT a good thing for a restaurant? We’ll see.
