    This was my second visit to Dean’s and we visited for New Year’s Eve. Our experience at the beginning of the night was excellent and Nico was very accommodating and entertaining. Our oysters and shrimp cocktail were great but we ended up waiting over an hour for our steaks to arrive from the time we placed our order. Nico apologized and said that there was a mix up in the kitchen and another tables meal was prepared first? The long wait for our order soured the experience and left us rushing to get the check before midnight, which was unexpected for a reservation that had us seated at 9:15PM. There was no clear explanation for what happened and no compensation was provided for the inconvenience.

    Waitstaff were very friendly, but couldn’t decide on who was/wasn’t our servers. Drinks took very long to come to our table and there were literally only two other sets of people in the restaurant (went at 3pm).Otherwise, food was good and I’ll be back for the seafood plateau…delish!

    I have been to this restaurant sister restaurant in Austin. And it was outstanding, but this one which is steak and seafood is particularly worth trying. I have never splurged on a A5 Wagyu steak but they have a small plate appetizer that is 2 ounces thinly sliced about a dozen pieces That you could cook on a hot stone provided with chimichurri and two types of Himalayan sea salt and some delicious thinly sliced cucumbers. This was one of the best and most unique dishes I have had. My wife had the eight ounce filet perfectly crusty on the outside and deliciously tender inside. Wonderful service, and excellent wine by the glass selections.
    Dean's Steak & SeafoodResponded 1 day ago
    Hi, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed our A5 Wagyu appetizer—it’s definitely a special dish, and we’re delighted it stood out as one of the best and most unique you’ve had. Pairing it with the hot stone and Himalayan salts really brings out the flavors, and we’re glad you appreciated the details. It’s wonderful to hear your wife enjoyed her filet, perfectly prepared, and that our wine selections and service added to your evening. We aim to create memorable dining experiences, and it’s an honor to be compared favorably to our sister restaurant in Austin. We hope to welcome you back soon for more outstanding dishes and great moments! Sincerely, Chelsea Donner Assistant General Manager

    Victoria was a delight, she was attentive, knowledgeable and provided endless recommendations and pairings. She’s communicated very well when orders were behind. I would return just for the service Victoria provided.
