Joseph Decuis

Really pretty restaurant, the art was great. Serving staff were extremely friendly. Our appetizers were very good - the corned beef stew and mushroom focaccia. It took a long time for our mains. I think I would have really liked my pork, but it was luke warm by time it got to table, second attempt wasn’t much better. They had an extra trout which they gave me which was very good. My husband’s wagyu steak was tasty, but for price, it didn’t overwhelm. The chocolate cake was delicious. I definitely appreciate when restaurants go out of their way to make sure their customers are satisfied. If I lived in area, would go back for a nice evening out.

Okay, great place to have dinner but left a little to be desired. Drinks, appetizers, salads, and dessert were all amazing. When we got our main course both me and my finance had 8oz steaks cooked medium rare, mine was almost rare and his was closer to medium rare. The sides for the main dishes were small for the price of the dinner. We didn’t expect massive portions, but these were just too small for the price. Potatoes are not expensive. The next day me and my fiancé both felt very heavy and the food did not sit well with our stomachs. Super good service and super good atmosphere though!!

I recently photographed a wedding at Joseph Decuis Farms and I couldn't speak more highly of the entire experience. It was such a beautiful and well run event. The day went so smoothly, the venue is an absolute dream (with so many great locations for photos), the food was out of this world (I've been talking about the chicken and waffles and praline bacon for months), and multiple times throughout the day I saw not just the staff and team but also the owners making sure things were well executed and going smoothly. I've worked at so many venues and this one is top notch. I cannot recommend them enough.

We dined at Joseph Decuis last week for a birthday celebration. Despite many positive reviews, our experience was quite bad. The interaction with our server was not friendly or engaging and she seemed fairly disinterested in conversation about the restaurant or food. When our food arrived, one steak was cold and the other was over cooked... and they were served to the wrong people. In addition, we were not informed that soup and salad were ~$20 each and were not included with a meal. Finally, for the birthday celebration, we were served a candle on a plate... no cake or desert (photo attached). We honestly thought it was a prank at first, but it certainly was not. Given the hundreds of dollars we spent on this meal, our expectations were much, much higher.

This local fine dining is the anchor of downtown Roanoke. Truly farm to table--the farm is just 6mi away and absolutely stunning. First impression, I'd love to see the resteraunt updated, it feels a little out of date, a little musty, and the seating in the atrium is not comfortable. The menu is very small and seasonal. I appreciated that they offered a burger or chicken strip meal that was not on the menu as this cuisine does not cater to a 12 and under guest. We started with a cheese board, all the varieties of summer sausage were house made wagyu, including the best chorizo I've had to date, and a honey pepper jam that was the perfect addition, just a tad too sweet but still good. We tried the chicken entree, my husband raved. The grilled Caesar salad was beautiful. The Lil Mac tartar was adorable but very loaded with pickles in the special sauce. I tried bone marrow for the first time, because if you're going to order the butter from the Gods, it should be wagyu--a Decuis staple. My plate was gorgeous, loaded with savory broth, beef and vegetables that were seasoned perfectly. The pita was buttery and charred, just the most beautiful complement. I wish we would've ordered the steak, but the prices are steep, 75-95/cut. My Thursday night budget laughed at that. There are three items available for dessert, but the dessert drinks were abundant.

Our experience here was well below our expectations and the price point. We had a reservation for 6:15 on a Saturday evening. Service was unprofessional, and servers were not attentive or knowledgeable. The food was overcooked and not served warm. The wine selection was minimal, and bottle service was not even an option. We would have had a better experience at Applebees for 10x less money.

My husband got us reservations for our anniversary as we had been wanting to try this restaurant for some time. It was so delicious! Everything paired very well together. The service was excellent. The food was all done perfectly. The menu was all things that I don't think we normally would have chosen to order ourselves but we are so glad we got to try it all because it was amazing. There wasn't anything we didn't love. Would highly recommend if you're looking for something different and special.
