Celebrated a birthday on the most beautiful patio in
Louisville. The whole experience was as close to perfect
As a restaurant can get. Amelia was knowledgeable,
professional, fun. What a memorable night. Thank you,
Decca. (The pork Bologna’s should be against the law
It was so good. )

The food was incredible and so was the service! I also noticed they took social distancing and sanitizing seriously which I appreciated. We sat on the patio which we never had before, and it was a beautiful and serene environment. I’ve been to Decca several times before but I feel this was the best experience I’ve had. We will definitely be back soon!

Decca is always such a comfortable place for dinner and relaxing. The outdoor area is nicely designed and full of charm. Then there is the food, always a great experience.

Fairly nice evening out until the check arrived. Everything 25% too high especially given the small entree size. Over $30 for a tapas sized entree of high quality. Likely won’t be back soon.

We were on the second floor. The noise was really much too loud. It was difficult to have a conversation. On other visits, we were seated on first floor where it was a much better experience.

Other restaurants have a sound management system, baffles etc.

It was a very disappointing dining experience.

We were excited about this visit after hearing about Decca on Top Chef. We were NOT disappointed! The service and ambience were excellent, and the food was unique, fresh and delicious. The wine selection is impressive and reasonably priced. We will be back every time we are in Louisville.

Best restaurant we visited this weekend! I can't recommend Decca enough. We were celebrating our 13th anniversary with friends and they brought us all complimentary champagne and a dessert. The mussels were the best I've ever had. Seriously good!

Very good food. Awesome music. Great service. But I was 110% deceived! I looked at the menu the entire week before, evaluating what my girlfriend and I should get. When we arrive on Valentine’s Day, they give us a set menu that’s a flat $85 per person!!!!!! Not worth the money!!! We were not offered the menu I had been looking at the entire week prior online. I dropped $300 when I only intended on spending half that! Luckily I could afford it, but Jesus Christ I’m in my mid 20s!

Valentines date. No where on open table or website did they advertise the fixed menu choices. That was not a big deal but thought it could be advertised since there was only two options for each course. My wife and I choose opposite menu items for each course so we could try each dish. The salad was amazing. The fresh in season mushroom popes toast was superb. Salmon and steak spot on. We didn’t try the pasta option because of the price $25 just to add the small pasta plate to the $85 three course meal that was the base option... for $85 I would think the pasta option to make it a 4 course meal would be included. Or the other option I think would be a compromise would be include the pasta but give a choice of your 3rd course either as an app or the desert. That said the desert was majorly lacking in this meal. Maybe it was just an off night for the desert choices but I wouldn’t recommend this place if your looking for an over the top desert experience. All other meal items met that over the top expectation.

We visit at least every 3 months and absolutely NEVER dissapointed. The only thing better than the service is the food. As I said to my wife this weekend, Decca of today is the 610 Magnolia of the early 2000's.

Waiter was excellent. Great wine and beer. Bread was great. Salad was excellent. Entrees: chicken was amazing! Waiter suggested. Ribeye was underwhelming. Had to send back to be cooked a little bit longer for preference. Not that big of deal. The cut just wasn’t great. Especially for the price. Butternut squash was excellent. Overall, a very good experience.

Had a late dinner there on a winter-y Friday night. The dining room is bright and minimalist without being sterile. Excellent cocktail/wine offerings at reasonable prices. We shared the Buttermilk Ricotta Toast and the Bibb Lettuce Salad as starters and both were excellent. I had the Crispy Salmon, which was quite fresh and tasty, although the fish portion was rather small for the price. My dining companion had the Shrimp La Plancha, which was also very fresh and quite delicious; a better portion size than the salmon. No room for dessert! The server was attentive and knowledgeable. Definitely a great choice in a city with tons of good restaurants.

We Haven’t been to Decca in a long time, so I didn’t know what to expect. It was wonderful in all aspects - food, service, ambiance. Loved upstairs dining room, and they were very kind to accommodate change in number of our party. We won’t let so much time lapse before we return again!

The kale and brussels sprout salad was probably one of the best salads I’ve ever had in the city. I really enjoyed the salmon dish, but I would have liked for the temperature to be slightly warmer when it was served. And the dessert was very good. I loved the cocktails.
