    Always an enjoyable, top-notch dining experience. We love the ambiance eating in Dean's Kitchen. The food is delicious and the setting is devine and subdued and quiet enough to have a wonderful conversation. The service was excellent, altho there was some awkwardness and uncertainty around the cocktail and wine orders.

    We were running a few minutes late but called to notify. Hostess seated us promptly. Eric was our server. He was very friendly and took great care of us. Despite our tardy arrival we were also needing to get to our event. The food came out fast and delicious.
