Decade

Definable worth your time and attention. We had a variety of snacks and plates and every one was perfectly prepared and delicious. The food tastes as good as it looks. The cocktails were well balanced and beautiful works of art. The staff were excellent. Quality service has been brought back to life. I can’t wait to go back.

Decade is a bougie place with an amazing menu of small, medium, and large plates. We sampled many of the appetizer offerings including the bread, cheese, olives, shishito peppers, and arancini, which were all excellent and on point. My main course was vegetarian. I stuck with the carrot risotto which was perfectly cooked and beautifully seasoned. Other colleagues ordered the porchetta and the steak. The food was simply amazing. For dessert we shared the trio of ice cream, my favorite was the tart cherry, and the chocolate was excellent as well. We also tried the rye bread dessert. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The bar service offered a delicious variety of cocktails. What was equally as impressive as the food, was the wait staff, who knew everything about the food and beverage menu. An excellent dining experience. Next time I’m in Louisville I will return to Decade. This is an uncompensated, independent review.

My husband and I visited Decade for the first time and were overly impressed by the high caliber of food, drinks and service! We enjoyed the Technicolor Daydream and Burn After Reading cocktails and shared the stone fruit salad, carrots, and focaccia as our starters. We had the jalapeño bucatini with shrimp and it is one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had! One thing we noticed about the menu was that each item was complex and had a really interesting combination of ingredients. Our server gave us great recommendations, which were much appreciated! We’ll be back very soon, thanks for the fantastic dining experience.

We checked out Decade after reading it had been named by USA Today as one of the top 44 places to eat in America. The food and service we experienced were very mediocre; nothing bad and nothing remarkable. The restaurant was busy (perhaps because of the press) and perhaps was not able to adequately respond to the influx of customers. We may give it another chance in the future, after things die down a bit, to see if they can pull things together a bit more as they seem to have the potential to offer high quality food in a cool setting.

Wow!! This place is phenomenal! I went with a group and we tried a decent amount of items off the menu, and loved all of it! We especially loved how moist the salmon was, and the risotto was incredible. We also loved the service. They cleared the table and provided new flatware with every course. We will be back!

Enjoyed a fabulous dinner this past Saturday. Start to finish we felt a sense of welcoming. We sat at the bar and enjoyed martins before our seating and picked Ethan’s brain regarding his knowledge of mixology as Decade as a long list of unique cocktails. Mitchell, our server was very knowledgeable and enjoyed his company. The food was incredible! A great night. Heading back with a large group to celebrate New Year’s!

Had a good meal here. Mushrooms were exceptional and so was the salmon entree. Duck ragu pasta and mixed green salad were fine. Rye pound cake dessert was dry and poor. Service was very good and we enjoyed the cocktails! Restaurant is a bit of an enigma... Food is presented (and priced!) as very high end, but the decor feels more like the electic lunch spot in an old downtown building. Booths are incredibly worn down, music was very strange, staff are in super casual clothing. None of this is necessarily bad, but combined make it hard to say what this restaurant is, who it is for, and when you should go...

Decade is an extraordinary culinary gem that promises an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you step inside, the refined ambiance sets the stage for a journey of culinary opulence. The menu offers a variety of meticulously crafted dishes, each a work of art that delights the senses. The presentation is impeccable, with vibrant colors and artistic garnishes. The quality of ingredients shines through, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to excellence. The attentive and knowledgeable staff adds to the overall experience. While Decade falls on the pricier side, it is a worthwhile investment for those seeking a truly remarkable culinary adventure. In conclusion, Decade sets a new standard for fine dining, offering an unrivaled experience that will leave you with lasting memories. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 stars)
