Mount Baker’s Iconiq Ends Its Hiatus Soon | Eater Seattle

"I'm encouraged that Toshiyuki Kawai plans to try to reopen his Mount Baker restaurant, Iconiq, by the third week or last week of November. It’s been closed for more than a year — longer than it was open after it opened in early 2017 in the former home of A La Bonne Franquette at 1421 31st Ave. S. Iconiq quickly won over critics for its warm vibe and its unique, high-end blend of French and Japanese cuisines. Kawai initially cited a family emergency in Japan and later revealed he had a personal health issue he chose to treat in his home country, and the shuttering was always intended to be temporary." - Megan Hill
