    Wow! This place exceeded our high expectations. The ambiance was low key and classy. Our waiter Andrew was superb drinks were great. We split lobster cakes I had the Elk chops and wife had the salmon and both were done to perfection. Topped it off with peanut butter dessert that I can’t even describe but will have again. Serious 5 Stars!

    Our server Robert made our valentines experience even better, given we had a night reservation and he had been on the clock since 11am. Super friendly and cheerful, the food was also delicious as usual. 10/10 experience.

    I had an incredible dining experience at Dean’s Steakhouse! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal. The star of the evening, besides the perfectly cooked steak, was our server, Jertha. She was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. She made excellent recommendations and ensured that every detail of our meal was perfect. Her hospitality truly elevated the experience, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of. As for the food, it was top-notch. The steak was cooked to perfection, juicy, and full of flavor. The sides were equally impressive, and the desserts were the perfect way to end an amazing meal. If you’re looking for an outstanding steakhouse with phenomenal service, Dean’s is the place to go. Ask for Jertha—she will make your experience even better! I’ll definitely be returning.

    We absolutely LOVE Dolce..... just like home cooking and also our frequent visits to Italy. Their value is excellent in terms of quality AND price... and honestly, you feel like you are in your Italian family's home enjoying a fabulous meal...... The selection of Italian wines is superb. To a person, staff and management are first-class...... we could eat there every night! If you have not had the opportunity to enjoy Dolce...... absolutely encourage you to go have a special evening, a fun date night or just for any reason.
