NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 22, 2024) – Icon Entertainment & Hospitality is thrilled to announce that three of its fine dining establishments—House of Cards, Sinatra Bar & Lounge, and Skull’s Rainbow Room—have been honored with multiple Diners’ Choice Awards from OpenTable for August.
OpenTable, a leading online restaurant reservation service, is widely respected within the restaurant and hospitality industry. The Diners’ Choice program recognizes exceptional restaurants based on feedback from thousands of local diners. House of Cards, Sinatra Bar & Lounge and Skull’s Rainbow Room have become integral to the vibrant dining scene in downtown Nashville, each offering a distinctive ambiance and exclusive dining experiences that both locals and visitors treasure.
“We are gratified that diners from Nashville and around the world selected our venues as being outstanding and unique. It’s a testament to our brands and to our staff, who provide world-class hospitality to each and every guest,” said Bill Miller, CEO and founder of Icon Entertainment & Hospitality.
Since 2018, House of Cards has celebrated the art of magic, classic American cuisine, and fine hand-crafted cocktails—all under one roof. This interactive dining experience, featuring illusionists performing tableside and rare artifacts from the world of magic, was named a winner in four categories: American, Special Occasion, Ambiance, and Foodies. Voters praised the Chilean sea bass and the 16 oz. NY Strip as standout menu items.
Sinatra Bar & Lounge was chosen as one of Nashville’s top spots for romance. From the moment you step inside, you’re transported back to an era when the Rat Pack crooned on the airwaves. The martinis never stop flowing, and the famous “My Way” Martini keeps guests returning. The intimate, inviting atmosphere is ideal for any day or night and every special occasion. Voters highlighted the meatballs, calamari, and chocolate cake as must-try dishes.
It’s no surprise Skull’s Rainbow Room was recognized in the Hot Spot, Vibrant Bar Scene, and Ambiance categories. With nightly live jazz performances and its renowned burlesque shows, Skull’s offers an unforgettable experience. The prime rib, filet mignon, and pork chop were singled out as the most popular dishes, making Skull’s a top dining destination in the heart of downtown.
Icon Entertainment & Hospitality, along with all of its ventures, is honored to be a part of the fabric that makes Nashville one of the United States’ premier destinations for entertainment, dining, and world-class restaurants.
