Came down to Deq for lunch on Friday. I like upper tier dining but this place was referred to us as having casual food; until we found out it was fancy shmancy not so great casual fare. Deq is a very Nice space to sit and lounge with good company and gets a 5 out 5 for ambiance and service. Can't say the same about the food. The very friendly waitress overhyped a feature of water melon salad, which turned out to be a rectangular ceramic olive dish lined with a checker board layout of white wine dipped melon cubes, feta cube and olive; not a salad but 4 rows of each ingredient randomly placed on the plate; nothing salady or special, really. We had a cheese plate that has 6 croutons and 3 kinds of mini cheese portions with a table spoon fig jam, not great but ok for sharing; the portion is skimpy so you will need two orders I you are a party of four. The best item on the meninges actually their cheapest offering for a light entree: chicken flatbread with artichokes and mozzarella fillings, well done. So come down for drinks and have lunch or dinner before arriving. Lunch for two with water and Diet Pepsi was a steep $74+tx and gratuity so not good value for the combination of ambiance and experience.
