    It was our first time and everything was wonderful! The hush puppies were perfect, I loved the beets in Alabama white sauce, the meatloaf was great as well. My partner loved the catfish po’boy and the green beans. We even took the plantain pudding to go and it was such a great take on banana pudding. The cocktails were awesome, and the service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be back!! Thank you for a great experience!

    We love Dean’s. Tonight they were a little off w the temperature of the steak. The NY strips were spot on but the filet mignon that was ordered medium came out rare. We kept that one for the table, didn’t want to cause any problems, and ordered another one medium. After everyone else was finished with their meal, it came back, again, rare. Sent it back and it came back (same steak) rare. We gave up. Not sure what the issue was. Not sure we’ll be back.

    My friend and I had dinner at Coquette last night and it was an amazing experience with great food! Foie gras, potatoes beignets, steak tartare with bone marrow, lamb, champignions, hericot verts! Everything was incredible! A little taste of Paris here in the QC. Our server, Laura, was exceptional: she made great recommendations, answered our questions, was incredibly personable and made the evening an enjoyable one. Our only “complaint: dim those lights and set some candles on the tables.” ;) The manager came over to chat with us - and even made our complaint feel welcome. Such a great experience. I’ve been in for pastries but was thrilled to finally have the chance to savor an evening here. Don’t miss out! You won’t regret it.
