Ox Grill is one of two new restaurants opening. It will serve contemporary cuisine with steaks, pastas and a selection of international dishes. The other new restaurant is called Mikado and will feature a revolving sushi and hot pot concept.
“Our focus is on creating new, unique experiences that will make ICON Park even more enjoyable for first-time and returning guests,” Jaskiewicz said.
The 'Wheelhouse Market' is also coming to ICON Park. It will be located near the ticket queues for the observation wheel, Madame Tussauds Orlando, and SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium. It is currently in soft opening. The market sells globally inspired foods of all varieties, including andouille sausage, bangers and mash, acai bowls, cupcakes, pizza, and Latin-inspired fare.
Christopher Buxton, an Orlando culinary entrepreneur, is collaborating with Jaskiewicz on the market and its menu, which will evolve with the seasons. Food halls are the new food trucks and they’re becoming destinations in their own right,” said Jaskiewicz.
