The ICON Park location is Ramsay’s first restaurant in Florida. Its color scheme is reflective of the Union Jack; blue and red with industrial hardware touches. White subway tiles line the sleek kitchen space while an iconic red telephone box serves as the restaurant’s entrance and exit.
Seating is limited inside but there is an outdoor patio where guests can enjoy their food with a view of ICON Park.

The majority of reviews on Yelp have been positive.
"So fresh, crunchy and juicy. The sauces were definitely a plus!" wrote one diner. "I've honestly always just used ketchup but I was recommended to try the Sriracha Aioli and it hands down is the best I've tried. We were all very impressed at how good the breading and juicy the fish was. Definitely, a must try!"
"The batter is crisp and flavorful, inside the fish itself was warm and tender. The truffle and parmesan-infused fries were just plain decadent….Run don’t walk."
The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner Sunday through Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Friday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. No reservations are required.
