Dean's Steak & Seafood Indianapolis

We had a fantastic evening at Dean’s Steak & Seafood in Indianapolis. From the moment we arrived, the hostess was incredibly kind and welcoming, setting the tone for a great night right away. We started with oysters on the half shell, which were absolutely exquisite. At our wonderful server Alisha’s recommendation, we ordered the tableside lobster bisque and the wedge salad—both were outstanding and a must-try. For entrées, we chose the sea bass and the steak. Simply put, perfection. The steak needed nothing—tender, flavorful, and truly melt-in-your-mouth amazing. We added the onion rings as a side and wow… hands down some of the best we’ve had. To finish the evening, Alisha suggested Grandma’s bread pudding, and it was the perfect dessert to end the meal—warm, comforting, and delicious. Don’t miss out on this place—make your reservation early. Dean’s delivers on every level: service, atmosphere, and incredible food.

We went for a business dinner and overall had a very good experience. The food was excellent. The seafood dishes were fresh and flavorful, and the steaks were outstanding. The quality of the meat was excellent — nothing to complain about there. We only had two small disappointments. One steak was ordered blue rare, Pittsburgh style, but it arrived more cooked than expected. My colleague chose not to send it back because he didn’t want to waste the meat, but he was a bit disappointed with the doneness. We also had to wait for our table at the bar. The bar service itself was quick and efficient. However, the welcome at the bar felt somewhat standard. Not unfriendly, but there wasn’t much warmth or smiles in the interaction. Overall, a very solid experience with excellent food, and we would definitely consider coming back.
