    Absolutely amazing experience! I’ve been to the Riverwalk in San Antonio several times. I don’t know how I haven’t been to this restaurant yet, but it is by far the best restaurant in the area. My wife and I had dinner here and tried the Hatch Queso with Chorizo, Beef Taquitos, Shrimp Tacos and Green Chili & Chicken Enchiladas. Everything was delicious. Personally, I enjoyed the Shrimp Tacos and Hatch Queso the most. The atmosphere is fantastic and there are great views right by the water. The service is phenomenal. I couldn’t have asked for more. I’m excited to return again and try more items on their food menu!

    We visited Dean’s for a special occasion, and the entire experience was wonderful! Our server, Adon, and server assistant, Javi, truly went above and beyond to make the evening memorable. They were incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and even shared the history behind the dishes we enjoyed, which made the experience feel that much more special. We dined upstairs, which was surprisingly quiet, making it especially comfortable for my elderly father. It can be difficult to find a restaurant that combines excellent food, beautiful ambiance, and a quiet atmosphere, but Dean’s delivered on all three. I highly recommend requesting the upstairs dining area if you’re looking for a quieter experience. A special shoutout to Adon and Javi for their exceptional hospitality. They truly made our evening!
