    Having been to most of the top steak houses throughout Texas, can honestly say this is at the very top of that list. Great vibe, very much true to San Antonio with the limestone walls and exposed ceiling. Fantastic wine and whiskey selection. Service was very attentive and well timed. Our only comment was for the restaurant to consider a minimum dress code. Not sure cut off shorts and a tank top fit with the vibe when people are in after 5 dress celebrating key events.

    We celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary and wanted to experience something different. We had been to San Antonio a lot but this time we stayed in an area that we never stayed in. We stayed at the Plaza hotel and found out about Deans steakhouse and the study at Deans… the romantic intimacy in a unique setting at the study with unique drink was remarkable but then the Steakhouse captured intimacy and romance! We loved getting our champagne toast then our food came! Omg! It was the most delicious steak, lobster and the halibut! The key lime pie topped off our evening We loved it all…We will be back!!

    We had a bad experience last night. The service was terrible, we placed the order and 40 minutes later the waiter came back to ask us if we were ready to order. We couldn’t believe it. We thought he was joking but NO. He forgot to put our order. The manager came to apologize and to tell us that the dinner will come soon. We are definitely not going back any time soon for sure. This was our 3rd time going there and we noticed this time that the food was not the same quality as before. This restaurant is definitely deteriorating. I don’t recommend it.

    It’s hard for me to talk about the food. The big reason is I ate too much. I should’ve left off the bone marrow or the salad, but I didn’t and so about halfway through the meal I was reeling from too much food and too much calories and it was glorious. The service was excellent and I couldn’t have found anything wrong unless I just lied fortunately we were going to tenfold so we held back just a little and had dessert up there. My wife felt her steak was not as tender as it had been at restaurant week at restaurant week. All in all I would hold back a little of my appetite so I didn’t try to overdose. We will be back again as we always are.

    My wife, stepdaughter, and I had a great time at Dean’s. We ordered a couple of steaks, tiger shrimp, scallops, and key lime pie. It was all delicious and the entire staff made sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed throughout our meal. It was my wife and stepdaughters first time in Texas and Dean’s definitely gave them an awesome steakhouse experience.
