Joseph Decuis

Fantastic place!!!! The Wagyu beef is well worth the price. Excellent food selections, all around! Highly recommend coming here.

The primary draw, for us, was the Wagyu beef. I have mixed feelings. On one hand, the quality of the beef is amazing and our steaks were cooked perfectly. They were decently seasoned. Unfortunately, the beef was served with a potato purée (good) and a spiced mixture of vegetables and legumes.

I can't understand why the chef would take such a beautiful, delicate meat and overpower it with spices. Spices are meant to compliment the dish, not take center stage. I'm not complaining that they were too hot. They were just too concentrated and unbalanced. This beef would work much better with a hint of something sweet... maybe cherry or tamarind. Think, more Asian or French and less Tex Mex.

Also, when a person orders a ribeye, they expect a ribeye. What I got was a 4 oz section of a ribeye (for $85). Considering the prices they charge for the beef in their market, I'm not sure how they justify that. I was expecting at least 8 oz.

So, if you plan to order steak, be sure to order plenty of appetizers. At least they were generous with the bread basket. The quality of the food is quite good, definitely the best in the area. The seafood is fresh, which is no small feat in the Midwest. The foie gras is great, although we were served a tiny spot of it, encompassed by some sort of toast. The price is equal to a fine Manhattan restaurant but, in Manhattan, you would get 3 times as much foie gras. The restaurant is comfortable and nicely decorated. The service is excellent.

I would definitely recommend Joseph Decuis for a special occasion. Just go into it knowing that you're going to over pay. I'm accustomed to prices like this but I've never felt like I got so little for my money.

Drove 30 Minutes to the middle of nowhere and found this absolutely amazing restaurant.
