    The service by Joshua was outstanding. Explained the menu choices and each course was served with care. Also very attentive but not overbearing. The food was superb the French Onion Soup was the best I have ever had served with scissors to cut the cheese first ever to see this. The steak was tender the potatoes delicious. All in all an absolutely perfect dinner. I must say it is pricey but you get what you pay for and this experience was well worth it.

    Very disappointed in what is supposed to be a high end restaurant. 45 minutes after being seated at our table, we received our cocktails. We ordered within five minutes of being seated. They were out of several of our first choices of mixed drinks, even after the 45 minute wait one of the drinks was not made correctly. It took another 20 minutes to get it made correctly. Our server could not have cared less that we had been waiting this long. Our dinners were also very slow to arrive, making the dinner experience, a total of three hours in duration.  My recommendation would be go somewhere else when you’re looking for a top notch, steak and seafood restaurant. We will not be returning to Dean’s.

    Hi Tyler, Thank you for dining at Dean’s Steak & Seafood. I sincerely apologize that your experience fell short of both your expectations and our own. I truly regret the delays and service issues you encountered, and I want to assure you that this is not the level of hospitality we strive to provide. I make no excuses—only a heartfelt apology and a sincere request for the opportunity to make things right. I’ve shared your feedback with our entire Leadership Team, as we are committed to learning from this and ensuring no guest experiences the same. I would love the chance to personally make it right for you. Please feel free to reach out to me via email, phone, or by replying to this message.

    Showed for a 730 reservation and we were seated at 750. Bar outside had awful service and we couldn’t get a drink. Once inside we sat for 10 minutes waiting for menu and waiter. Manager finally came by and got the drinks and appetizers started. From that point forward the service was pleasant and food was amazing. Restaurant seemed unprepared for a Wednesday rush.
