    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!
