One of Boston's most well-known restaurants is up for sale. According to a Boston Herald article and the Boston Restaurant Group site, Icarus is on the selling block, although owner Chris Douglass may try to hold onto it and perhaps make it a more casual restaurant.
The Herald mentions that Douglass is trying to get financing for the restaurant, which has been affected by the economic downturn as so many other dining spots have.
Icarus has been a South End standby for more than 30 years, and remains one of the most popular restaurants in Boston. The menu includes mostly New American cuisine, while the atmosphere is attractive and comfortable. The owner (Douglass) also owns two Dorchester restaurants--the Ashmont Grill and Tavolo.
