    It is a beautiful, modern, stylish restaurant. The food overall was fantastic, a miss with the Caesar salad and lobster tail but scallops and wedge salad amazing. Service was outstanding. We visited the rooftop bar after dinner and it is outstanding. Beautiful city views and great cocktails. This is a great addition to downtown dining.

    We’re locals so heading downtown for dinner can be a bit of a pain, but this restaurant is absolutely worth it. The service is top notch and the restaurant is beautiful. Most importantly, the food is amazing. We started with the crab cake and hot stone wagyu and I highly recommend both. For entrees, the prime ribeye was one of the best steaks I have ever had, and the halibut was perfectly prepared. Overall, it was a beautiful evening, and an outstanding experience. We will absolutely be back! Pro tip- don’t fill up on the Parker house rolls!!

    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 on December 15, 2024
    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.
