Icon Restaurant and Bar

The Icon Restaurant and Bar is a white-tablecloth restaurant located inside the remodeled Tutwiler Hotel. It was opened by chef Geoffrey Slate and manager Alan Dobbs, formerly of Restaurant G.

The restaurant was originally scheduled to open for New Year's 2007, but complications arising from existing conditions in the historic building caused delays. During construction, Slate and Dobbs provided catering and room service for the hotel from the restaurant's two kitchens. The completed restaurant began serving guests on March 30, 2007.

In 2008, Slate departed the restaurant. That Septmeber, Dobbs announced that he was selling it to Integral Hospitality, the company that owns the Tutwiler.
