Dean’s Italian Steakhouse is undeniably beautiful and well-appointed. The ambiance is elevated yet welcoming, and the menu is both vast and elegant, with a wide range of refined selections. We were greeted promptly by the hostess and seated immediately at a lovely table in the main dining room with a view of the kitchen—an engaging touch that added to the experience. We had specifically chosen Dean’s for their advertised Sunday Supper, which was listed both on their website and on OpenTable. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were told it was not available. That was disappointing, especially since it was the primary reason we chose to dine there. Service was mixed. Our waiter was pleasant at first, but at one point snapped at me and told me I was interrupting him. It created an awkward tone for the rest of the meal, and I didn’t speak or make eye contact with him again after that. There were a few other missteps: we were served the wrong bottle of wine—though it was still quite good—and we received an overcooked piece of bread while every other table seemed to get the light, fluffy version. The manager took one look and replaced it immediately, once we brought it to his attention. On a positive note, the food was excellent. Both the steak and the pork chop were flavorful, tender, and perfectly prepared. The kitchen clearly knows what it’s doing. Overall, Dean’s has a lot of promise thanks to its beautiful setting and strong culinary execution, but the inconsistencies in service and communication left us with a mixed impression. I was going to attend next week with a dining club, but I decided to cancel the reservation due to my lackluster experience.

I have been to numerous steakhouses in my life and this is one that will stick with me for life. To start, the service was amazing, from the server/bartender to the management staff that stopped by. The quality of the steak was definitely that star of the show here. The meat was cooked perfectly, with a nice crisp crust on the outside and nice medium rare temp on the inside. After I finished my steak the manager came by and we talked about the quality, cooking method, and how happy I was with it. He gifted me with 2 jars of their steak seasoning and even took me on a little tour of the open kitchen. I got to talk to the Chef Brandon who cooked my steak. Overall one of my favorite restaurant experience to date.

5 STARS ISN'T HIGH ENOUGH.... I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS PLACE!!! The bread alone was reason enough to go back but the salmon was cooked to perfection, the New York strip my dad got was incredible and our waiter, Rich, was so through with explaining the menu since my dad and I were first timers. Highly highly recommend!!

Didn’t have the greatest table. Ask to be seated further in the back. Chicken picatta was not chicken picatta. Grilled chicken w salad didn’t come out initially. Waiter did an awesome job getting us in and out on a compressed timeline.

Food seemed either a hit or miss for us. The bread they gave the table was amazing. We ordered the crudo trio which was great but small and the lobster bisque. The bisque wasn’t amazing. You get one small piece of lobster and the flavor tasted very shellfish stock-y not creamy and lots of complex flavors like other places have. Honestly probably towards the bottom of the list of best lobster bisques you can have in charlotte. For mains my partner got a filet queens style, it was amazing both the steak and lobster was perfectly cooked. I ordered the short rib gnocchi which tasted great but the short ribs I don’t think were short ribs. They were tough chewy big chunks of meat that did not fall apart like short ribs should. Was slightly disappointed in the texture of the meat but overall the dish tasted wonderful. The service was great everyone very friendly and everyone from the bussers to the manager came over to check on us. Will definitely come back I think you just have to be careful what you order.
