Office of The Dean

My boyfriend and I had a lovely date night at The Dean! It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves, which other than a few people at the bar, we really did! It made it super romantic and overall was an awesome experience. That said, I wish the seats around us had been filled. This place was awesome and deserves to be hopping at dinner time! Don’t let the fact that it’s in a hotel turn you away. The atmosphere was awesome, the decorations were fun and on theme, the food was delicious and came out perfectly, and the staff were all friendly and attentive. Special shout out to our lovely server Cameron (I hope I got that right?!!) and Jordan who checked in a extended a warm welcome. We will definitely be back:-)

Overall it is a good dinner spot. The food was pretty tasty. Maybe some room for improvement but a solid 8/10. The decor and design is great and exactly what you’d expect from a restaurant called “The Dean”. The cocktails were pretty solid as well. Definitely worth trying if you are looking for a place to try nearby or staying at the Hilton.

Great experience overall. The service was excellent—Sarah was attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed. The food was very good, especially the pork belly, which alone is worth coming back for. The atmosphere was amazing; the only small note is that the R&B/ Hip hop music didn’t quite match the vibe. Still, a wonderful spot and we’d definitely return.

First time at The Dean, looking for a birthday dinner spot -- two low-key adults, years of trying restaurants hither and yon, happy with a Michelin star or a Happy Meal, as long as it's done well. As soon as we walked in, the attention to detail was everywhere. Thoughtful decor and furniture, leaning into the cheeky "academic" theme but subtly. Surprising ambience, you'd never guess you're in a hotel. Manager Jordan showed us around (including the speakeasy...shhhh...), made us feel instantly welcome, and he checked on us at the end of the evening. Our server, Sarah, had a big smile and great info, attentive but never pushy. Enjoyed a few cocktails, dipped into the extensive wine and whiskey list a bit. But the food is always the decider, right? Spoiler alert: everything was fantastic. Thi

Sara and Jordan were absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious, everything was cooked to perfection, and let’s not forget that the service was absolutely immaculate. Make sure to take a special trip to the Hilton College Station and dine at the Dean and ensure that you ask for Sarah as a waitress. I definitely will be back again, and this was absolutely a fine dining exquisite experience!
