    We were a group of 7 mostly family. All adults. We had an amazing food and wine experience. The beef Wellington and lobster risotto were delicious. Our server was so knowledgeable about the food and wine - and incredibly helpful. Our only disappointment was that we had arrived hoping to share the t bone steak and fish but the steak was not available - the recommendation from our server for the beef Wellington and risotto definitely exceeded expectations. Would highly recommend!

    Went to Deville last night and was incredibly impressed, not just by the food but particularly by the excellent service. My partner and I were ambivalent about what to get and our server, Ralph, suggested the beef knuckles as one of our starters and it was to die for! Also really enjoyed the chicken and waffles and arugula salad, and the portions were big so we left with doggy bags. Totally recommend.
