My fiancé and I spent his birthday evening at Dean’s. The food was delicious and service was good. The noise level was surprising, but I must say the food made up for it. We highly recommend this restaurant for a nice evening out.

Everything was great. My only suggestion is to add more lighting to small corner tables with no sconces above them. It was hard to read the menu with just a tea candle and enjoy seeing my food color & presentation.

Saw the England v. Switzerland match here with my stepson, and had a full English breakfast. It was fantastic meal, service, and atmosphere. If there were a few people around with English accents, it would’ve felt like England!
