    Service was terrible. Waited over 30 min for cocktails, nothing fancy, a glass of wine and a manhattan. Server never apologized and did not offer to compensate. What should have been maybe a 2 hour business dinner took almost 3hrs

    The food here was really good, however the service we received was definitely lacking. We took our parents there for their anniversary and the service was very slow. Maybe they need more staff to account for the volume of tables. When we went there were empty tables around us, and still our food and drinks took forever to get.

    This was our second time at Dean’s Steakhouse. And it was just as amazing. It’s a bestie date that we followed up on after eating there the first time. We couldn’t stop talking about it! We shared the petite plateau, the 8oz center cut sirloin and the broccoli. We had the rolls which were warm and soft. We had some bubbles followed by some red wine with our meal. We ordered the steak medium rare and it was truly melt-in-mouth type of moment. Definitely save your pennies as this is a bit pricey but absolutely worth every penny! We’ll be back!

    It was a delicious experience. The steaks were prepared exactly to our specifications, and the sides were scrumptious. The restuarant is also so well designed that our conversations were easy to hear. The ambience was lovely. I will return soon!
