3 Deuces Restaurant

I am guessing this little place is brand new.  This seems to be a side project of the Union restaurant.   My friend and I went on Chef's night, Wednesday .  Special menu of small plates& dessert for 25$.  In the end we didn't get it because not everything appealed on the special  menu and they didn't do substitutions on that.  

We did order some appetizers and entrees off the regular menu.  Everything was quite good and flavorful but not 100% authentic.   I find it funny that Cajun is so high priced in Chicagoland.

We were given a complimentary dessert because the one my friend ordered wasn't in stock and our waitress didn't know it.  Not the greatest waitress, seemed very green.

They were pushing that they have coupons out there and I would say use them and try this place.  Small and in a hotel so if hotel is busy it could be busy.

Found this restaurant on Groupon so we gave it a try.  It's situated inside the Wyndham Hotel.  Not too hard to find from the entrance.  You'll see a bar area and you just need to head towards a little room in the back.  It's really small.  It's a hotel restaurant so it's to be expected.  The ambiance was a little weird to say the least.  At least when we first got situated.  The menu is cajun/creole.  Or Louisiana comfort food from what I gathered.

Our server was attentive.  Took our orders fairly quickly and checked back often.  We started out with warm biscuits and a side of Jalapeno butter.  The biscuits are delicious.  I asked for a second order and our waitress came back with two biscuits and said that they're baking more.  I order the red fish, my mom and brother ordered the blackened shrimp fettuccine, and my stepdad ordered the Jambalaya.  The food was pretty good.  Nothing out of this world.  My fish was a bit rubbery and the pasta was a bit too creamy for my tastes.  We ordered the beignets for dessert and I just about died and went to heaven.  It's pretty simple really.  It's just fried dough dusted in sugar and served with a side of ice cream.  Like funnel cake except "meatier."  When we asked for our check our waitress came back with a bag of "goodies" and it was a few extra biscuits to take home!  I didn't even ask for it, so that kind of won me over.  For the four dishes and two desserts the total was about $109.  With the groupon, it was $50 off.  I'd say it's a bit steep for what it is.

Just a couple cons about the restaurant:
1.  Really small.  Really feels like a hotel restaurant... if that makes sense.  But it does kind of give a "homey" feel about it.  I mean, it's attached to a bar area so they might expand into there if they have a lot of customers, but when we got there at 7:30 there were only 3 other groups.
2.  Not many options to choose from the menu.  I don't know if this restaurant is relatively new, I forgot to inquire, but its menu is only one side of a sheet of paper.

If you're just curious about their menu they have some kind of event on Wednesday nights where it's a flat rate of $25/person and they serve you little dishes from their menu to try and sometimes they'll add in some "chef inspired" dishes as well.
