    My wife and I are locals staying at the Kimpton Santo in one of the Historic Suites. The dinner tonight at Dean’s was phenomenal. The waitress, Victoria, was very sweet, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was delicious and is worth coming back for for a nice date night. We would highly recommend this establishment for a nice dinner that will also not break the bank.

    What an experience. This place is the complete package for downtown San Antonio. The food quality, taste, and presentation are excellent. The professional service further enhances the dining experience. The low noise level is the one thing that truly sets this destination apart from other fine dining establishments in the city—finally, a restaurant where you can easily converse without straining to hear over the noise. The restaurant's ambiance in the old German brick schoolhouse is such a beautiful and heartwarming feature that it takes it to the next level. Welcome to San Antonio Dean’s!

    Lovely ambiance. Prices were high. Delmonico steak was the worse I have ever ordered in my life. Staff was great. Parking at 33.00 for 2 hours outrageous. Will try the restaurant in 6 months again.
    Dean's Steak & SeafoodResponded 1 day ago
    Hello Florence, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our ambiance and our staff. However, we're sorry to hear that our steak and parking arrangements didn't meet your expectations. We strive to provide a high-quality dining experience for all our guests and it's clear we fell short this time. We appreciate your honesty and will take your comments into consideration as we continuously work to improve. We look forward to welcoming you back in 6 months time to provide you with an improved experience. Please ask for me on that visit as I'd love to meet you in person and ensure everything is as you (and I) expect it to be! Thank you again and I hope you have a wonderful day. Sincerely, Jennifer Winney Director of Outlets
