    So we booked a igloo for our special occasion. The service was on point but the steak was rubbery, the fish was ok. I wouldn’t have minded but at those prices i expect PERFECTION. Also our party of three had an automatic surcharge which I assume was a tip. I always leave a great 20-22% tip but our surcharge was $80 on a $330 check. Outrageous!! Lastly the valet is the ultimate FUSTER CLUCK and completely ruined the rest of our evening as we had plans but since it took one hour, a full 58 MINUTES, to get our car we just went home In summary good one time experience probably won’t return.

    Please please please make the bread pudding just like in the Austin location. The one in San Antonio was ice cream with broken up pieces of bread pudding. This is not it. It should be one solid piece of bread pudding with ice cream in top. Just like it is everywhere I love bread pudding. Landry’s, Bob’s, etc. You have all of the tools to do it exactly like the original location. Please fix it!

    Thanks for the review, Brandon! We're sorry to hear that our bread pudding didn't meet your expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your input. I've shared your feedback with our entire culinary and service team and we are comparing the recipes at our different restaurants to ensure adherence. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy ours, however and would love to make it right for you, if you would kindly give me an opportunity to. You may reach me via email, phone, or response to this message. Humbly, Don Thompson, General Manager Dean's Steak & Seafood, The Bar at Dean's, The Study

    Outstanding experience, my wife and I went for an early Valentine’s Day. We both had the Filet and it was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, the billion-dollar potatoes and asparagus were cooked and prepared well! But our waitress was outstanding. We wish we could visit more often; unfortunately, we were only in town for a few days, but this is a 10/10 must-visit.

    This place exceeded my expectations! We came in for brunch and were able to get seated prior to our reservations while waiting at the bar. The bartender gave us recommendations while waiting as well. We were provided with water upon being seated and greeted by our amazing KNOWLEDGEABLE waiter Eddie! Eddie also provided great recommendations and gave details for any dish we asked about. We got the Crab Cakes, Lobster Avocado Toast, Shrimp Cocktail, and the Deans American breakfast. The kitchen was kind enough to cook the bacon just how we wanted it!!!! Everything was great! The Crab Cakes were my absolute favorite, along with the Shrimp Cocktail. 10/10 would recommend!
