My fiancé and I spent his birthday evening at Dean’s. The food was delicious and service was good. The noise level was surprising, but I must say the food made up for it. We highly recommend this restaurant for a nice evening out.

The oysters and drinks were amazing!!!!! Will definitely be returning just for those! Food was pretty good. The server was really nice but service was kind of slow. There wasn’t many people there so I’m not sure about the reasoning for that. But all in all will definitely return

We had a great time. The place is beautiful, environment lively. We often had to flag down servers for an order or bill, but they were kind and friendly when they were there. Highly recommend.
