    By far the best experience I have had in San Antonio. The ambience was quiet and intimate. The food was beyond amazing and the service was second to none. Would highly recommend anyone and everyone to head here immediately!

    If you do the globe experience in the courtyard make sure they don't forget about you. We went yesterday and what was supposed to be a great experience turned into a ruined date night. Food was overcooked, service was terrible. We went during grand opening week had same experience with food and service decided to give them another try, worse experience this time.

    I tried the snow globe experience. Definitely would not recommend there’s no air condition and at the time it was raining so it was completely muggy. Due to the fact, it was so hot and made the experience not worthwhile. The food and the staff, however, was amazing . Definitely would come back just not doing this experience.
    Dean's Steak & SeafoodResponded 3 days ago
    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear that the snow globe experience didn’t meet your expectations due to the warm December weather and lack of air conditioning. We completely understand how that could affect your enjoyment, and we truly appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We're glad to hear you had a positive experience with our food and staff, and we’d love to welcome you back for a different experience next time. Thank you again for your kind words, and we look forward to hosting you again soon! Sincerely, Jennifer Winney Director of Outlets

    Weren't ready for our reservation so we went to the bar for a few minutes. Seated and waited forever for another drink. Got the small seafood platter which was awesome. Next items were super slow to come out but worth it. French onion soup was the best we have ever had!!! Steak was good but over seasoned. This restaurant is in the kimton and is fairly new so uber didn't recognize it.

    We had a great experience at Dean’s! Our waiter Jorge was phenomenal and gave us great suggestions for drinks and made sure we got everything we asked for and more! I would definitely recommend Dean’s as the food was splendid and the portions were more than expected. The front staff of the Kimpton also helped coordinate my proposal after dinner so everyone in the establishment was more than awesome! Overall, 10/10 would recommend.

    We came to celebrate a birthday and for most of us it was our first time and it was a terrible experience. Service was terrible. It took 38 minutes to get drinks, food was cold, overall we do not plan to return at least not for a good while.

    Waited an hour for my steak (the Alamo) that was very dry and over cooked. Then changed to the Alaskan halibut that also took a while to come out. Cut into it and was cold and undercooked.

I’m grateful that we were able to address the issue by ensuring you weren’t charged for anything, and I’ll share your feedback with our culinary and service teams to prevent this from happening again. I’m pleased to hear that you enjoyed the crudo, though I understand it doesn’t make up for the rest of your experience. I would love the opportunity to make this right for you. Please feel free to reach out via email, phone, or reply to this message. Humbly, Jennifer Winney Director of Outlets
