    We did Sunday Brunch before a Panther’s game. Very nice selection of drinks, mocktails, and brunch items. I got the Lomo Saltido (SP?). Added the egg for $2 more. So much flavor and a slow heat build up as I ate. My wife got the avocado toast. The poached egg great and the balsamic drizzle on toast was a fantastic addition. My daughter got the pancakes. Wow. So fluffy and the black berries and blue berries were so good.

    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.

    The oysters and drinks were amazing!!!!! Will definitely be returning just for those! Food was pretty good. The server was really nice but service was kind of slow. There wasn’t many people there so I’m not sure about the reasoning for that. But all in all will definitely return
