Best Pre-fix menu deal! Big bang for your buck!

Deleece has the best 20 dollar pre-fix meal deal! I was a bit wary about this place at first since my friend’s friend had come here for dinner once and did not give a good review. However, I figured if it was only 20 dollars for a three course pre-fix meal, hopefully I would at least like one of the courses. I mean you can’t get a good entree for only $20 now a days much less three of them! First off, everything on the menu looked great – it took me forever to decide on the entree but I finally settled on the chicken. I thought that being a pre-fix menu, the portions would be a little bit smaller but Deleece does not skimp on the portions at all! My friend and I left Deleece very happy and very very full! I am looking forward to my next Deleece experience!

Dishes I tried:

Chicken

I was expected a little chicken breast with a bit of goat cheese and blueberries on the side, what they laid down in front of me was definitely not what I was expecting – it was a whole half of a rostisseri chicken – roasted to perfection with a little sweet glaze settled atop a blueberry and goat cheese balsamic salad. It was mouthwatering and awesome! The chicken was tender and melted in your mouth.

grilled porkchop

My friend got the porkchops , they were thick porkchops, grilled just the way I like it – medium rare so it was still very juicy and not dry at all! The wilted spinach salad and sweet tostones (plantains) complemented the porkchops.

double chocolate pudding

This double chocolate pudding is rich and decadent. Definitely not your old school pudding – it is so rich, it was like eating fudge out a parfait cup – topped with fresh cream and a shortbread cookie, even though I was stuffed, I couldn’t let this pudding go to waste! I ate the entire thing!

what a fabulous deal!

after reading moonbm27’s positive review, i decided to give deleece’s mon & tues $20 prix fixe menu a try and i’m so happy i did. (included is an appetizer + entree + dessert.) i left with a thoroughly satisfied tummy and a strong desire to return again…next time with some more friends in tow.

deleece has a cute sidewalk patio where you can enjoy chicago’s beautiful weather without too much of the crazy hustle & bustle you can get with some downtown restaurants.

the service was friendly and professional, and the parking is predominantly permit required, but you can ask the host for a permit.

as for the food, i have to agree with moonbm27 in that they don’t skimp on the portions, and the presentation is creative, fun, and classy. what i also enjoyed is the laid-back, casual nature of deleece.

i’d highly recommend checking out deleece for their excellent prixe fix deal – it’s unbeatable.

absolutely delicious! you get a nice ample serving of a black bean-y, semi-hearty soup with subtle infused flavors. a winner in my book.

for pork, amazingly tender and juicy. you get a handsome serving size of pork chop sitting on a mound of mashed-chunky sweet potatoes and a bed of strongly seasoned pan-fried spinach. i enjoyed this pork chop very much!

bread pudding

holy cow this was a huge serving. comes with 3 slices of chocolate chip banana bread soaked in sweet goodness. i wouldn’t have been able to finish this on my own if it weren’t for my date’s help.

new york strip steak

so juicy, flavorful, and excellent with the guacamole and over easy egg it comes with. whoever thought of that combo – ingenius! i think i might have enjoyed this dish more than my own pork chops.
