My wife and I are locals staying at the Kimpton Santo in one of the Historic Suites. The dinner tonight at Dean’s was phenomenal. The waitress, Victoria, was very sweet, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was delicious and is worth coming back for for a nice date night. We would highly recommend this establishment for a nice dinner that will also not break the bank.
