Editorial Review for Dee Felice Cafe – by Carrie Clark
The Scene
How can a restaurant with a live band in the dining room rank high for romantic dining? Somehow, it works. (Though Dee Felice is better for conversation during the week when jazz trios play and it's not as crowded.) The back dining rooms are always a good bet, however, and on Fridays and Saturdays the Sleep Cat Band's Dixieland music will transport you down South for the night.
The Food
Cajun and Creole food is the specialty, although many other good choices are offered. For starters, try Escargot Mario--artichoke hearts and snails in lobster butter topped with parmesan cheese--or frog legs Provencale, sauteed in brandy with garlic, tomatoes and fresh mushrooms. Oysters Rockefeller is another favorite. For entrees, halibut, chicken, filet mignon, scallops and pork chops are all offered blackened. A highly recommended off-the-menu choice is the halibut forte, sauteed in lobster butter with shrimp, ordered with blackened seasoning. Cajun and Creole specialties include spicy jambalaya, shrimp Creole, crawfish etouffe and Cajun chicken. For dessert, try bol de neige, five types of chocolate in a brownie surrounded in a snowball of fresh sweetened whipped cream.

we visit this restaurant whenever we are in town. 2-3 times a year for the last 10 years. we love it. the food is usually great, friendly and helpful bartenders and good service. it's a great place to kick back and listen to some good music while sharing some gumbo, ettoufe, cajun chicken ( a favorite of mine, spicy hot and juicy with a great sauce) good beef dishes (tournedos and marsala--yum!) or just an assortment of appetizers. Love that they have greens as a side, very tasty. I always look forward to going to the Dee Felice cafe. I say ---try it!
Pros: good food and music
Cons: not a good place to bring children

Went to Dee Felice Feb 17, 2008 before a Babyface concert at the Madison Theatre so this would be a great place to eat in regards to the concert location. I ordered the Tilapia (the special for the day) and my Fiance' ordered the Pork Chop with Apples and Sweet potato strips... I live in Dayton and will be driving back for the Pork Chops!! They were the BEST Pork Chops in Dayton or Cincy - delicious with a great sweet but not too sweet sauce!! The waitress pointed us to the Chops so since my Fiance' ordered the Chops I went a different direction for variety to get the Tilapia which was very bland with not much taste at all. The jazz band was mellow and great. They didn't over power you with the music, a candle on eat table as well as table cloths and linen napkins. I will be returning soon for the Pork Chops, atmosphere and the jazz but not the Tilapia!! Great place!!!!
Pros: Pork Chops, Atmosphere and the Jazz
Cons: Tilapia
