    Omg, sooo good!
    Shawn B.

    I had 8 of my good friends meet me at Dean's for my birthday celebration. Starting with parking- Dean's will valet your car if you eat at the restaurant. Upon arrival, I was greeted at the door and directed to the check in. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The service was great. The ambiance was dim and romantic. There were some hiccups with the some of the meals, but I wrall it was a great experience Can't wait to return!

    Last night my family and I got to try the new restaurant that opened not too long ago and it was an experience. Now I will say make sure you go with some money honey but I will definitely be back. When you walk in, it's dim lighting and very well decorated. They had a raw bar you could sit at on top of an actual bar at the front. We were greeted by very friendly staff. They were helpful and with quick service. Very polite. The music was a vibe all night and they had this back room that seats like 50 people at this big long table. You can hire a personal bartender for your events and it's completely tucked away from everyone else. The tables have these little touch lights where you can control your own tone of lighting. The food was delicious. Hats off to the chefs. Everyone at the table ordered something different and it all looked good. My dad ordered crab cakes to start off with and it was amazing. My sister ordered the lobster bisque and it hit the spot. The flavor was amazing. It was smooth and silky. For my starter I got the oyster rockerfeller and those were to die for. Now for my entree I got the Salmon Welllington and it came with asparagus on the bottom with a green yogurt sauce. On the inside it hade the salmon and spinach all wrapped in a puff pastry. That was the best one I have ever had. Gotta go back and get that again. All and all the experience was a 10/10 and I will definitely be going back.

    I had a great time dining at Dean's with friends. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knew the menu well. It's conveniently located inside the JW Marriott, and the complimentary valet is a big plus--I wouldn't have known where to park otherwise. We ordered several appetizers. The standout for me was the crab cake--plenty of plump, well-seasoned crab meat. The bread was a bit on the salty side, so just a heads-up. The Madagascar shrimp seemed slightly overcooked, but the escargot-style dish was delicious and something I would definitely order again. The Oysters Rockefeller are very spinach-forward--perfect for spinach lovers. The lobster bisque had good flavor but was surprisingly thin, almost watery. For my entrée, I had the Dean's-style steak. It was slightly overcooked for a requested medium, but still tasted good. Pricing is on the higher end, which is expected for a restaurant inside the JW. The space has a beautiful Roaring '20s-inspired design and a lively atmosphere. The music is loud, so conversation gets loud too--better for a fun group outing than a quiet date night. Overall, there are some clear areas for improvement, but I'm hopeful those will come as the restaurant gains more experience. I'd definitely return to see how they continue to evolve.

    Dean's Steak & Seafood inside the JW Marriott exceeded every expectation. From valet and coat check to the overall service, every detail feels intentional and elevated. Pro tip if you're going to a Colts game: park here, go to the game, then come back for dinner and grab your car after. Free valet and zero stress. The cocktails were great. I ordered the spritz, but I'd recommend the espresso martini if you're choosing. We started with the crab cake, Caesar salad, and the complimentary bread which was hands down the best bread I've ever had. For dinner, we ordered & split the Wagyu, lobster mac, au gratin potatoes, and the table-side baked Alaska. Everything was incredible, especially the steak and lobster mac. Next time I'd skip the au gratin and swap for the whipped potatoes...just personal preference. Now for the real MVP: Deirdre. She was phenomenal. Knowledgeable, incredibly kind, attentive without being overbearing, and truly elevated the entire experience. She checked on us consistently, accommodated every request with a smile, and even split our shared dishes onto separate plates without us having to ask. Service like hers is rare, and she is a huge reason we'll be back. If you're looking for luxury dining in Indy, Dean's is it and if you can, ask for Deirdre

    Are you kidding me? This place was AMAZING!!! Our server, Cassy, really made it such a fun and special event. I cannot say enough nice things about her!! The service was the best I've ever had at any restaurant. The food was so good too. Highly recommend this place!!!

    The customer service was incredible, the vibes were immaculate, and the food was delicious. We actually loved the starters more than our mains. The oysters and crab cake were incredible. The bread was the best bread I have ever had. The pasta and salmon were good but if we go back I think we will stick with starters to share and try something else like their soup or salad!! Really loved my experience here.

    Great service! Free valet. Beautiful inside. I really liked the host! She was so kind and sweet. She kept checking in on us. Very intimate. Our server diedra was great too. Since we were a few minutes early we got a drink at the bar before being seated. $37 for 2 whiskeys on the rocks. The bread is delicious with that butter! Had some west coast oysters to start. The sauces came in a unique dropper that was nice and less messy than a spoon. Now for our steaks, we ordered the repeal and deans style 8oz filets. They said they are out of the 8oz and that they only had 10oz and we'd have to pay an upcharge for them. This was about 9pm sat, 8th day of being open. We really wanted the filets but didn't want to pay extra because its not our fault they are out and they r already over $80. They came back and said they would not charge extra for it. Great. Our steaks came out over done but still edible. They comped the dessert for us because of this. We also ordered another round of drinks and a glass of wine. The baked Alaska is a great dessert imo. The presentation is cool too. I can never find it anywhere so I had to get it. The bread pudding was also good but I'm really glad I got the baked alaska. After all this our bill was $300.

    The restaurant within the JW is gorgeous. The mood is dark, elegant, and cozy. That was mostly where the success ends. While our server was kind and attentive, he started the interaction with a lengthy nearly 3 or 4 minute speech detailing nearly everything on the menu. The rehearsed speech should he ditched by their team and trainers immediately. After that the food just didnt live up to the price in any way. The wedge salad was somehow void of blue cheese and we had to ask for extra dressing. The lobster bisque was a highlight of the meal. Salmon wellington was dry and mostly flavorless, this was such a disappointment because I'd recently had this dish at another restaurant and it was fantastic. The chicken was also dry and the lobster mac and cheese was incredibly salty. Overall, I wanted this to be so good, especially with the high price tag, but it misses the mark.

    Service was great. Food somehow even better. We had a little wait but one of the waitresses Ashley helped us through. Food is some of the best in Indianapolis.

    Brush Creek Bourbon Bread Pudding - delicious!

    We had a lovely time here! We couldn't believe they'd only been open under a week at the time. :) Mark was a lovely host - giving us leave to relax in the bar lobby area and coming to find us once our table was ready, and Ashley was an excellent server - they were so patient and gracious with explaining the menu, and so very attentive, and everything tasted delicious! We ate up the following: Lobster Bisque, French Onion Soup, Steak Tartare, the delicious house bread, Dean's Style Steak with Bone Marrow, Crab Cakes, Billionaire's Potato, Broiled Oyster, NY Cheesecake, and Bourbon Bread Pudding! Would definitely come here again!

The place is pretty with a nice bar area and the ambiance is nice with good lighting. We sat in one of the booths which was dirty but on the plus side love the privacy of them. To start the food took a long time to come which is always understandable and sometimes expected at fine dining, but was not worth the wait or price. First, the steak was said to be good, but the asparagus side was underwhelming with little to no seasoning/ butter. The lamb chops come with Alfredo pasta and was not seasoned and just not good. We had three orders of those so everybody can't be wrong. The shrimp and linguine pasta was dry with no sauce at all. On top of that the noodles were brittle and hard. I asked if we could have more sauce which helped a little bit. But i could not eat it because the noodles themselves were hard and dry and i did not want to send anything back because of the company i had. The presentation was pretty but the execution did not land. We also got espresso martinis and raspberry martinis and those were made well. For a place like this you just expect a little more pizazz and things to be on point! Especially at the price point they are at i expect everything to be tasty and saucy and flavorful and juicy. Can skip this one.
