5 stars all around! The service from Tyler and the assisting staff were impeccable. Tyler made great recommendations and explained the menu from drinks to dessert very well. The food was beautiful and very delicious. The timing of the food was also proper. Not only did we have amazing food, but the service was hands down some of the best we have experienced in a while! We will be back sooner rather than later!

The Manager was very helpful. We asked for a seat change. Why? We were initially seated close to the entrance and each time the door was opened, we got hit with the cold breeze (outside temp around 35 degrees at the time). The Manager ushered us to a better seat in the back of the restaurant and we ended up having a great time. Thanks for your understanding and resolving our issue.

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.
