    Out of town guests and wanted to try a steakhouse I can’t get at home and haven’t had while traveling elsewhere. Entered the property and made our way to the restaurant. The ambiance and décor made for a great first impression! Hubby and I were promptly greeted and seated for our reservation (which is a must have for dinner). Our server, Cameron, welcomed us, presented us with menus, and reviewed the offerings. He was knowledgeable about food items and was able to answer our questions. Also, he was able to speak in depth about the bourbon list—this made hubby very happy. Cameron appropriately coursed our meal so we didn’t feel rushed. Speaking of the meal, the steaks (filet / NY strip, both medium) were great! The apps, sides and dessert, meh. That the star of the show was delicious and the overall price was reasonable, we’d recommend adding Dean’s to your list of options. One STRONG recommendation: at least for dinner, stick to your published dress code. You’ve set a reasonable standard, stick to it. It’s ok to say ‘no’ especially when you’ve informed. Seeing the guy in shorts and sneakers with the trucker hat to-the-back…don’t think this is the look you’re going for—bringing us back to where we started, ambiance and decor(rum).

We strive to uphold our dress code and upscale ambiance, and I regret that it wasn’t properly enforced. I’ve shared this with our team to ensure consistency. I’m also sorry for how your seating request and late-arriving guests were handled. We aim to accommodate when possible, and I understand your frustration. Your experience should have been smoother. If you’re willing, I’d love the chance to make things right—please reach out via email, phone, or by responding here. Humbly, Don Thompson, General Manager Dean's Steak & Seafood, The Bar at Dean's, The Study

    Excellent restaurant. Every Kimpton Hotel I’ve been to in the last 30 years has had an outstanding restaurant. This one reinforces that reputation. Excellent service from Cameron, wonderful ambiance. We had the signature Santo steak and Madagascar shrimp— wonderful!!

    The dinner was amazing. Victoria was very helpful as well as all of the other staff that stopped by to make sure our glasses were filled and that we didn’t need anything. The food was delicious and we didn’t feel rushed through the meal.
