   Went for Mother’s Day brunch - the food was great! One person had the salmon, he said it had good flavor. Another person had the prime rib - she also liked the food. The breakfast items were also very good. The fresh fruit was amazing. The people working were attentive and friendly. We will return!!

   Great service. The atmosphere was really nice. Also nice to have a speakeasy and rooftop bar on the property.

   I had an amazing experience at The Dean in College Station. The ambience alone deserves a full five stars—elegant, modern, and warm all at once. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to sit back, relax, and take your time enjoying every moment. Our server, Jack, was incredible. Super attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. He really elevated the whole dining experience and made us feel well taken care of. As for the food, everything we ordered was delicious. You can tell there’s real thought and quality behind each dish. Fresh ingredients, great presentation, and flavors that hit the mark. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a top-tier dining spot in the area.

   Jack was a wonderful server! The food was delicious and everyone was satisfied with what they ordered. The portions were very generous which was nice. The ambience was enjoyable, and the private dining room was lovely. We are very pleased with our experience and will definitely be coming back!

   They did not have wine and a dish I was interested in. The soup was extremely salty and not edible.

    We tried the High Tea. Ugh. We were the last reservation of the afternoon— finger sandwiches were dry, cookies were just ok, scones were dry with no jams or clotted cream. Tea was bitter. Who ever planned this must have NEVER actually attended a high tea. Service? Not much. Sitting among tables covered with dirty dishes was no treat, either. Never again.
