Pisces is the water sign, so of course these fish will be deemed a seafood restaurant. Fish, shellfish, and anything from the sea usually suites any Pisces palette, however if you find yourself a Pisces and have a hatred for seafood, this restaurant offers a variety of burgers, salads, and pasta dishes to suit your needs. Also, the Icehouse just so happens to be located near water and not just any water, but the Hudson River.
