A 10/10 experience at Mean Deans tonight for our first time. The wine selection is superb as they pull in unique selections, and our server Geeta couldn’t have been any better. She went above and beyond to make our dining experience wonderful and we had many laughs along the way. The food is all wonderfully crafted and Dean makes sure to make his rounds and chat with every table about his establishment- a really personal and classy touch by the owner and chef. We will be back!

There is a reason this spot is on a lot of lists. It was delicious and a good deal. For a large space in a strip mall it felt very comfortable and welcoming. This spot is absolutely a reason to get down into Bradenton. The service was fast and knowledgeable. They also had a decent selection of local beers. I wouldn’t hesitate about going back

Great neighborhood restaurant. Food is excellent and homemade with love. Server Zoe gave excellent suggestions based on each customers likes and appetites. After an excellent house salad with blue cheese dressing, I had the lobster lasagna. Delicious. Can’t wait to go back again.

Meh. I was in the area and starving and decided to check this place out. It’s okay, but doesn’t have me making plans to go back anytime soon. The prices are more expensive than they need to be. It cost me $64 for my appetizer, entree, dessert, and a beer. And I honestly got the cheapest things on the menu, lol. Dean’s isn’t terrible by far, just didn’t do much for me.

Wonderful service, from the hostess to the server! A great variety of beverages and tasty food! The goat cheese bruschetta is a delicious appetizer, we scarfed it down so fast I forgot to get a picture.

We just found this place and couldn’t be more amazed! I can’t believe it’s been hiding in plain view from my daily commute to work for almost 3 years! Outstanding beer list, wine list and we will come back until we work our way through the entire food menu. We had the pleasure (and so did our puppy) of meeting “Mean Dean” himself and he couldn’t be nicer. Ha The service was spectacular and we can’t wait to come back! 6 STARS!!
