    Great view of Charlotte. Food was excellent. Nachos were a killer as was shrimp appetizer. 18 oz ribeye was fabulous. Duck was not crisp but tasted good. Waguy rib was super. Brussel sprouts were not crispy as listed. Blueberry dessert was the bomb as was Japanese dish. Strawberry key lime brulee was superb. Waiter was knowledgeable and the whole team did super. We really enjoyed our evening in Charlotte. Very nice community to visit. Clean, friendly and awesome uptown experience. Ms. Janet

    My fiancé and I spent his birthday evening at Dean’s. The food was delicious and service was good. The noise level was surprising, but I must say the food made up for it. We highly recommend this restaurant for a nice evening out.

    The oysters and drinks were amazing!!!!! Will definitely be returning just for those! Food was pretty good. The server was really nice but service was kind of slow. There wasn’t many people there so I’m not sure about the reasoning for that. But all in all will definitely return
