Icarus falls to earth

Prominent restaurants are dropping like flies now. Boston Food and Whine reports Icarus, a South End landmark, is closing forever on July 1, partly because of the economy, partly so owner Chris Douglass can concentrate on his two restaurants in Dorchester.

Icarus is a truly great restaurant, but unsustainable at those prices. Barbara and I would go once a year for a special occasion, usually our anniversary. Except during Restaurant Week, it's too expensive to go more often than that. But as a resident of the Shawmut Valley neighborhood of Dorchester, adjacent to Ashmont, I am happy to have Chris concentrating on Tavolo and especially on the Ashmont Grill, where we eat two or three times a month. Check out their Monday Wine Club; we get four smallish courses (actually, they're of adequate size and are always delicious), along with lots of good wines and great company, all for $30 per person. Can't beat that!
