Well, here's another longtime CH regular that agrees the place is very good. There are several restaurants in Brooklyn that I think are better but iCi is one of those "cant miss" places when you want well prepared, high-end ingredient, interesting food in a comfortable environment for a very fair price.

We just wrote about iCi a few days ago on our site. The short version: we loved it. I've read the archive of posts about it and didn't even find them mostly negative-- just the opposite, in fact.
One thing we didn't write about is the wine selection-- great, very young Loire valley wines by the glass that are worth a taste.

"Many earlier chowhound postings were decidedly negative."
Actually, only 2 were negative and they were written in March.

We had a fine dinner at ICI a couple of weeks ago. Its very french but with a consciously market driven menu, purchases from local purveyors (for example that farm in RedHook) and a cheese plate featuring artisanal AMERICAN cheeses, very good.
They do really nice things with vegetables -the collard side was excellent - as were the sauteed parsnips and other veg accomanying my main course scallops. Only quibble I had was excessive dijon sharpnes in my confit salad IMO wiped out the flavor of the confit, but Im not a dijon fan. Generous servings. Desserts are simple and homey. Welcome is warm, room is pleasant. Small well selected wine list.
