I can hear for my birthday and from the beginning, hostess was so nice and pleasant. I was presented with a rose and complimentary champagne. Food was excellent and presentation awesome. My server, Ibrahim was most excellent, definitely knows his stuff. We will definitely return and check out the brunch selection.

Always a fantastic experience at Deans in Charlotte. I love bringing new people in to experience Deans and last night presented that opportunity once again. I brought 2 new people that had never dined with Deans and they both said, “hands down the best steak they had ever eaten”! Which was the bone in filet Deans style
