Sharing the lobby of W the Court with nightlife impresario Rande Gerber's slick Wet Bar, Icon does its part to perpetuate the hotel group's strain of minimalist chic with a dark, low-ceilinged dining room. Asian and Mediterranean accents are a refrain on the largely New American menu. A huge helping of pan roasted, honey glazed chicken is enhanced with a contrasting combination of punchy tomato and olive compote and vaguely sweet green basmati rice. Creative, sweet-tart cocktails, many garnished with a colorful tropical flower, also pack a punch. Icon's own bar does a brisk business, whereas the restaurant gets an erratic ebb and flow of diners. On an off night, a couple could cozy up with the sexy space all to themselves. — Kate Appleton

I was slightly disappointed. The food fell short on flavor, what wasn't bland was just a little weird tasting. We were a large group of 7 so I had a taste of seven different dishes none impressing me, except the mahi mahi. The decor was great, the service was average at best, our absentee waiter seemed to be frowning the entire meal, but in terms of how much we drank it was a pretty good value.
