The Ice House is our overall favorite restaurant in the city. Valentine's Day was excellent thanks to the Ice House's Owner and staff.
I wasn't sure what my girlfriend and I were going to do for Valentine's Day but we knew we didn't want to go home and cook. So we called our favorite restaurant in the Bronx at 5:45 PM on Valentine's Day. Although reservations were needed the staff went out of their way to make room for us. After looking over a pre-fix menu which had an excellent selection, we both decided on the Filet Mignon with truffles. The steak was cooked to perfection and the vegetables and truffles were excellent. I was stuffed to the gills but could not stop eating. This was after eating the Ice house's delicious lobsster bisque soup and pasta appertizer. The dinner also included desert and coffee, I was going to pass on desert but the staff was nice enough to give it to us to go. Oh, I almost forgot the bottle of wine and heart of candy which was also included in the price.
I highly recommend the Ice House, if you haven't tried it you are missing a true gem of the Bronx.
