Eclectic neighborhood restaurant with a new menu and new décor

Change is good, and we have a lot of that going on at Deleece. We still have all of our favorite signature dishes, but our new chef Steven Obendorf is cooking up a fabulous new menu that changes with the seasons. Our new décor is even warmer and more comfortable than before and our service remains as professional and personable as ever. Regulars rave about the excellent food, affordable prices, and their favorite server, Pete. The cambazola stuffed rack of lamb and pan seared salmon with pear ginger sauce are to die for.

Excellent food and service 5 Star Rating - World class

I have eaten at Deleece several times and every time has been better than the last. The food is tasty and innovative and the restaurant itself is welcoming and trendy without trying too hard. This is the perfect friendly neighborhood place. Good for dates; good for groups of friends-- I can't recommend it highly enough.

Pros: friendly service, delicious food, charming restaurant
Cons: none

Great Dining Experience! 5 Star Rating - World class

I tried Deleece for the first time last night and had an amazing time! Our server was great - she was super knowledgeable about the menu, wines and even the art hanging on the wall. We started with the potstickers and the sauce is so good you should keep it around after you've finished for dipping the bread! The butter lettuce salad was delicious, and the salmon and lamb were both wonderful dishes as well. I was very pleasantly surprised and can't wait to go back to try the rest of the menu!

Pros: service, menu
Cons: parking

Relaxing Atmosphere. 4 Star Rating - Very good

We discovered Deleece several months ago and have tried it for lunch, dinner and Sunday Brunch. We truly enjoy the food and the overall relaxing atmosphere. My favorite is the lamb, cooked to perfection and enjoyed with the servers recommended Merlot which was excellent and a generous pour. The only lacking experience we had was when we sat outside. The service just didn't seem to equal that of inside seating. We were told there was some confusion about who's table it was. The server we lost due to "territory" is the one we wish we had.
However, despite this one occasion (we have asked for seating inside ever since) we truly do enjoy this pleasant neighbourhood restaurant.

Deelce exceeded my expectations. Our great experience started with wonderful service and ended with great food and wine. Plus they have an outdoor eating area - perfect for summer dinning.

$20 for a 3-course meal, best deal in the city 5 Star Rating - World class

I recently returned to Deleece after not having been in awhile. The food is better than ever. Lots of delicious specials, lots of changes to the menu. I had the duck breast with ravioli filled with a pea and duck confit. Excellent, it melts in your mouth. My husband had the caramelized salmon with the very tasty black rice covered in a pear-ginger sauce. Everyone at our table loved their dishes. The place looks great. Warm and inviting. Refreshing to dine somewhere and waiter isn't pushing the most expensive bottle of wine on the menu. And $20 for a three course meal is the best deal in the city. We'll be back soon.

Pros: great value, warm, friendly
Cons: parking hit and miss
