Saturdays have gotten even better with Fabricio behind the bar. I was there last Saturday and he is super friendly, warm, and welcoming. You know he makes the customer the priority and is quick to get drinks out to them. I used to come to icon on Saturday nights sparingly but now I’m planning to be there a lot more. Knowing that Fabricio is bartending means that I’m going to be greeted and treated like family while quickly getting a drink. Fabricio is the “ICON” that the establishment is named after. - Derick Lancing
