    The service was very fast and helpful. We quickly got all of our drinks, appetizers, and main dishes. The waitress was very polite and answered all the questions we had about the menu with ease and clarity. The food was delicious. We ordered the goopy burger and maltagliati. Both of which were good portion sizes for the price and had great flavor.

    Manager was awesome. We were in a time crunch. He made sure we had our drinks etc. Server expedited things too. The best salad I’ve had ever, so fresh and light. Swordfish slightly overcooked and extremely salty. My husbands meatballs were great, not too salty. The complimentary hummus was delicious. Great overall. Service fantastic.

    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.

    While primarily a good steakhouse, their menu is unusually broad and interesting. I've had both the duck confit and the grouper, both of which were superb. My son had the bison tenderloin, which was exceptionally tender and flavorful I've never seen puttanesca sauce on fish but bet it's great. I look forward to more visits to try every item they offer.
