    Our server, Jeffery, was top notch. Super knowledgeable and gave us amazing recommendations. Our experience at the bar was a bit different. It took 10 mins for any type of acknowledgment. We felt non existent and ignored at the lounge bar. And once the bartender came over to us, he was very short and not personable. Almost like we were wasting his time

    Impressed with the restaurant decor and service. Food was a little let down for this scale of a restaurant. Filet was ordered Med to Med-well. Outside was burnt. That was a disappointing. Drinks from the bar took 10 and 20 minutes to receive. Not acceptable in this type of venue. Agree with others on the parking charges when you have parking validated yet they still charge you $22 for some made up reason. After you spend $400 on a meal, that was what really leaves a bad taste in your mouth after a dinner like that.

    Dean’s was a very nice restaurant! Our server was attentive and the food was excellent. We had the Alamo and the Classic (both signature steak and seafood dishes). Perfect place for an anniversary. 🥰

    advertised Brunch and bubble until 11/30. I went today and they said they are out of champagne..REALLY? The manager came over and explained they ran out yesterday. This was reason for visit. So started off bad and not impressed with explanation nor reason.

    Thanks for the review, Larry. Although I'm thrilled to hear Dylan's hospitality was on point, I'm sincerely sorry that we fell short of your (and our) expectations for the rest of your experience, and I also need to apologize for the inconvenience caused. I make no excuses, just a heartfelt apology and plea to make it right. I've shared your feedback with our entire Leadership team to address, and will personally address with Alexis, as we're committed to improving and not impact affect anyone else in this way. I'd love to make this right for you, if you would kindly give me an opportunity to. You may reach me via email, phone, or response to this message. Humbly, Jennifer Winney Director of Outlets

    While we usually like the music they were playing, when out for a romantic, expensive dinner we don’t appreciate being assaulted by Purple Rain in a high end steak house. Really?

    The ambiance is comfortably elegant The food is consistently good. The service? Well, the service is simply exceptional. Our server Grace, was wonderful but so was every single staff person we encountered. I mean every .. single … one. The hostess who had Pokémon cards at the ready for our 9year old. The deck of cards that magically appeared when my son randomly requested some. The raw chef who showed our oyster loving kid how to open oysters. The managers, bussers, and every passing server who had a smile on their face and treated us with grace and courtesy. That my friends, is rare.

    Celebrated my birthday there and thought I would at least get a candle or something fun to commemorate my birthday but sadly did not. The waiter Nico made many recommendations but the recommendations were sub pair in taste. Ordered raw oysters and the forgot to bring them out. Had to remind them several times. Lastly, I ordered a medium steak and got the steak well done. Definitely will never return. Not worth the insane prices being charged.
