    Our second visit to 31ThirtyOne by Deckman's and we were just as pleased with it as our first! My husband and I had the "family style" 4 course dinner and it was amazing! Some of our favorites were the spring harvest salad, the capunti pasta - I could have eaten a vat of that myself!! - and the hanger steak. All were delicious! The sauce on the pasta dish was so good - I wish I could replicate it at home! The staff is all very friendly and welcoming as well as very knowledgeable of the complexity of all the dishes served. It's fun to watch Chef Drew with his crew in the kitchen too! Looks like a symphony as everyone appears to work together so well! We look forward to many return trips to 31ThirtyOne by Deckman's!

    North Park’s best kept secret: this fine patisserie serves dinner, transforming the minimalist patisserie decor with tables, white tableclothes, candles, fresh flowers and so forth into a venue for fine dining. And the dining is memorable. My wife and I agree, this was the finest restaurant meal we’ve had since we moved to SD four years ago. Chef Brad is a gem. Waitstaff is knowledgeable, efficient, friendly, and professional. Don’t be afraid to try anything. Every bite was delicious. Just go and enjoy! Ruth and Ron
