Decadent Chicago — Restaurant in Chicago

This place is nice in terms of appearance but the food isn’t worth the money you spend. As person who makes most of these dishes at home, when I came here I was excited to see new flares and ideas but when I came in the food was bland and flavorless and the portions were terrible. People who enjoy their food haven’t had real southern cuisine or are just lazy. There is a long time for service, few workers, and the food isn’t good. After taking my son here because I am visiting him from NOLA, I went to the store and bought the ingredients myself and remade the dishes to show them how they should taste. I’m sorry but this place doesn’t deserve patronage at any capacity. One of our worst nights on food week. If anyone in Chicago likes this place then ask them this, when was the last time they were south? Because this food doesn’t hit the mark. I wanted to like this place because it seems Black owned but sometimes our own people hit the mark. From the bottom of my soul I hope this establishment doesn’t make it past the first quarter there is absolutely no redemption for their food. And if you are reading this don’t go here. Even if you go here and don’t hate it you will feel like money wasted and never want to return. People who like this restaurant have limited experience with this cuisine. Please Chicago stop messing up southern restaurants in your tourists areas. There is worse food but trust from a southern cook it’s...

Very nice dining experience. We came here on a Friday night and we booked our reservation online to secure a spot. The evening that we had dinner it was not very busy which was nice because you got a lot of 1:1 time with the staff and the owner. Everyone was really delightful and explained the menu items and also what their favorites.

We were able to find parking a few blocks down. However you may need to go ahead and pay for garage parking if coming during the prime time.

For food we got Brussels sprouts and fried green tomatoes for appetizers. both were really good and had different areas where they shined. overall the Brussels were fantastic. As for entree we opted for the cajun pasta and the braised beef over grits. Both were fake flavored very well however the brasied beef was very good. Lastly but not least, we got dessert. My husband ordered the carrot cake and I got the toffee pudding. We both enjoyed our individual desserts, but I will say that I am a little bit more going towards The toffee pudding as it's more unique. but the carrot cake was delicious.

All in all a really lovely evening, I would definitely come back and try brunch and even just dessert at this location. we enjoyed our cocktails and even the red Blend wine was...

Update: yesterday was my 83 year old neighbors birthday so since I was walking by I decided to stop in and get her a slice of cake (ended up being 2 slices since I know she likes everything strawberry but they also had a birthday cake slice). She doesn’t leave google reviews but said the cake was so moist and DECADENT that this dessert bar really lives up to its name. Also got her the jumbo decadent wings which she says are the BEST in the city. She’s preparing to move to Florida soon and said Decadent will be her favorite treat whenever someone from Chicago visits 💕

Old review: WoW what a gem in the south loop! I came to have a working breakfast and ended up staying for lunch and taking dinner to go for my neighbor! My only wish was that the free Wi-Fi could be used longer since I was consistently placing orders as I stayed longer and that there would be more plant based meal options.

The latte’s are so good and a treat I can get them boozy lol, the avocado toast was yummy and I appreciate the chef made it and my salad vegan. The baristas are great and made wonderful suggestions, and the ambiance is so relaxing, perfect for working...
