    Went for the first time tonight with some friends! We sat overlooking the river, and we highly recommend doing that!!! it was beautiful, especially at sunset! Our server Sebastian was AMAZING! So kind! but he also let us know that they had some issues with high volume of orders and not enough workers, so he wasn’t as attentive to us as he wanted to be! but they compensated us A LOT by giving us 2 free deserts, bruschetta, and a free ceasar salad! So kind! All in all, the food was good- nothing crazy, the service was okayish, but the ambience was beautiful! overall, it was a good experience

    Celebrated our anniversary at Dean’s and we had a VERY NICE dinner. We wanted something low key, but new. The lobster bisque, dried age rib eye steak, spinach crème, steamed broccoli, and bread pudding was delicious. We are trying to find an excuse to go again. THANK YOU Dean’s for a wonderful experience.

    A great place in n the Riverwalk. Our sever (Malek, if I remember correctly) was excellent. The hatch cheese dip with chorizo was a winner. My wife and I got the chicken sandwich and the burger and split them so we each had a half. We both agreed the burger was pretty good but the chicken was excellent. Lastly, it was my wife’s birthday so they brought her some churros with caramel and chocolate dipping sauces that were amazingly good. It’s pricey for what it is, like everything on the Riverwalk, but overall an excellent experience so we didn’t mind the cost.
