 Decca Restaurant Review: Annie Pettry and Loretta Keller, late of San Francisco, head up the kitchen of this East Market Street gallery district (NuLu) restaurant, with its beautifully appointed dining rooms, decks, a patio garden and a limestone cellar. Duck liver terrine with cherry mostarda, pappardelle with Moroccan lamb and lemon, milk-braised pork and fingerling potatoes, and poached day boat sole served with green olives, pistachios and dried apricots are supported by a West Coast-based wine list. Artfully presented main dishes are well portioned, but you’ll have room to supplement them (especially if you share) with sides such as grilled broccoli with almonds and anchovy, charred beets and grapefruit or soft polenta seasoned with goat cheese and celery. For dessert, imagine a lemon poppy seed cake with chèvre semifreddo and summer berries. The aforementioned wine list provides choices by the glass from sparkling (Delamotte Champagne) to unusual reds (Blaufrankisch from Paul Lehrner), and a deep and intriguing line-up by the bottle. This being Louisville, the creative cocktail list has several original bourbon concoctions. The sound system specializes in vintage music of Decca artists (hence the restaurant’s name) when live musicians are not performing in either the garden or the cozy cellar lounge. |
