Deans at Let's Eat in Perth & Kinross

Fantastic meal, fantastic food. We had a great evening. Midge and I went as a last minute idea and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

Group of 8 visited for dinner and it had been a few years since we had visited. Great menu and atmosphere on a busy Sat night. Service was second to none, staff really friendly and knowledgeable. Great variety on the menu and presentation impeccable. Don’t miss out on a cocktail or two. Only reason I dropped a star was the smell, we all smelt like we’d been in the kitchen making our dinner. Not sure if there is something wrong with the extractors but the smell of food/cooking just clung to us all. Hopefully just a temporary issue.

Always enjoyed eating here. Good Scottish cooking from an accomplished chef. Weekday lunch offer is good and Sunday is a special treat. Good wine list also.

Wonderful food, wonderful staff, fantastic service, brilliant atmosphere. Must be booked in advance but hurry because closing at this site in October. The food is garnished in the most imaginative ways (think sour cherry, basil, miso, beetroot etc. etc.) Fabulous. And the staff!!!! Unbelievable. And the menu is very reasonably priced for this quality.

We made a last minute reservation here having travelled through from Inverness and were very lucky someone had not turned up. The food is exceptional. Every course was delicious, high quality ingredients, full of flavour. Lovely waiting staff too. I wish we had one in Inverness. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Fantastic from start to finish, service very attentive and relaxed, so impressed that the chef brought meals to the table and knew which dish was for who without asking, also asked if we needed anything else for the table. Food was fantastic, top class and amazing value for money definitely be back soon

Tried this place tonight. Hadn’t booked and was accommodated quite swiftly and shown to a table promptly. Was a nice atmosphere in the place and after reading through the menu which was full of tempting choices we both decided what we were having. The 3 course meal we both had was outstanding and the service was top notch. Will definitely be revisiting this restaurant very soon. We both thought it was the best meal we’ve had in a long time

Well what can I say fabulous food amazingly no staff . Wonderful service. So pleased we came tonight. A very big thank you and your care towards my 101 year old mother was fantastic.

I booked based on the reviews online and I enjoy gourmet dining and have eaten at Michelin star restaurants across the globe . Booking was easy via phone. Decor quite traditional with modern twist, some cheap storage art pieces, the massive old looking dry flower arrangement brought down the ambience. Service a single waitress . She was not the most cheerful or welcoming . Bread very tasty home made especially the Brie and cranberry. Mains, duck was just OK, a bit tough, and the sauce didn’t pair well with the duck at all and parts were quite especially the cherries were bitter and inedible, served with polenta and a single carrot, which was the best part ! Chicken was tender but nothing special and served with dauphinoise potatoes - very last year ! . Dessert was not fantastic either . Poor overall attitude by the waitress really let the place down . Any good restaurant worth its salt should take criticism and feedback in a positive way , rather the waitress, became hostile and rude and we could hear her, saying to the kitchen staff, quite loudly in a disapproving voice what we had said ! Totally inappropriate and unprofessional. Left the seat and she wasn’t courteous as we left . An overall poor dining experience! Incidentally, during the entire course of the meal only two other customer were present in such a big space !

Having never visited Perth before I was looking for a good restaurant for a very special occasion. We were not disappointed. There were 6 of us and we all agreed that it was the best meal we have ever had. And we all had something different. £19 for 2 courses which in itself is amazing. Each course was beautifully presented and tasted like I would imagine a Michelin star restaurant would. Staff could have been just a tiny bit friendlier but the service was efficient.

This was the best meal we have ever enjoyed. Everything about this restaurant was perfect. The food and service were excellent. The only problem we had was deciding on what to choose from an incredible menu. Everything is made from scratch from locally sourced ingredients. I can't wait to go back. We had a fabulous time. Thank you to every one of the team who made our night out so very special.

Such good food, delicious, elegant and well presented. Great staff too! Good atmosphere in the restaurant

Very attractive restaurant with many places to park nearby (all payable). We were greeted by the waiter who was friendly and we sat in the comfy reception area awaiting the arrival of our daughter. The dining room was spacious, the chairs comfortable and the table settings were impressive. The lunch menu was different to the one displayed outside but was varied with plenty of choice. The home made bread choice was a nice touch. We opted for the scallops which were rich and delicious. The presentation was spectacular with dry ice smoke over pebbles. Our daughter opted for the belly pork which was equally good. Mains was chicken served with lovely accompaniments and my husband had venison - all yummy! Dessert was chocolate and honeycomb (I snaffled a piece from my daughter and it was to die for! ) and strawberry mousse served with fresh fruits and lime sorbet - delicious. The bill with soft drinks was £90 which for the quality was very reasonable. We all said we would go back as we enjoyed the whole experience so much. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

Magnifiques assiettes et formule très accessible ! Mention au serveur plutôt qu'à la patronne. Jolie salle Tout était délicieux !

We loved this restaurant. The food was beautifully cooked and presented. Everything tasted fantastic. The staff were very friendly and there was a good wine selection.

Some seriously good food is presented with a bit of fun and whimsy. Perth is lucky to have such a talented chef in the region. The restaurant is in warm burgundy tones and features comfortable seating. My dining companion recommended the scallops. What a treat, perfectly cooked scallops presented on Asian influenced pork. I love scallops and this a very unique twist. It was presented on a large bowl of steaming stones. Totally unexpected but a fun bit of theatre. Mains was perfectly cooked venison and my friend had the duck. We would both order them again. Desert was strawberry creme brûlée. One of the best desserts I have had in the last ten years. Inventive version of the classic it was somehow creamy and crunchy. I would return just to have another one. My only regret is that I don’t live closer but I look forward to visiting Perthshire again to enjoy the food at Deans.

We were met at the door with a friendly welcome. The waitress helped my disabled husband to a nearby table. The restaurant was airy and attractively decorated. We had delicious bread and dips before our starters. It was so good we said we could have happily have lunched on just more of the same. However ,when the starters came , we soon changed our minds. The seafood on a bed of lettuce was delicious and beautifully presented. My main course was venison , as tender as could be , and the accompanying vegetables and sauce were full of flavour , with delicate hints of spices. I haven't enjoyed a lunch as much for a long time.

Busy evening in the restaurant. The staff were attentive and looked after us very well. Fabulous food. Would definitely recommend.

This was a really excellent evening. The restaurant was very busy but even so we managed to get our table changed when it was too hot to it by the radiator- thank you. The food was delicious and very well put together by the young chef owner. My husband raved about his scallop starter and my salmon and crab was exceptional. We have eaten in some of the best restaurants in London and also in The Peat Inn fairly recently. I think that the quality of the food on offer at Deans is comparable.

Great pre-match lunch at Dean's on Saturday. Food and service was great all washed down with a lovely Merlot. Will certainly be going back again...

Had a lovely experience here. The staff were attentive but not pushy. The food was delicious and the cocktails were fabulous! I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Fantastic evening, 6 of us dined tonight, everything was great. Lovely atmosphere, great service and amazing food - highly recommend.

Enjoyed the three course lunch which was great value despite being slightly more expensive in the run up to Christmas. Twice baked cheddar souffle with Stornoway black pudding was a delightful starter and the Venison nicely cooked, presented and a good portion. For desert a...

They are trying too hard and therefore the dishes I had just didn't deliver,too many elements. They really need to learn how to provide a cheese course Disappointed overall.

Excellent choice on menu. Friendly staff and we were never rushed, just a great timing between courses. Venison main course was the best we have tasted in a long time. Compliments to the chef!

Visited with a friend for a long overdue catch up. Service was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere good. Highlights of our visit were the cocktails and the desert. Going on other reviews I was concerned about comments relating to too much salt. My main course was...

Lovely location and ambience A warm welcome from the attentive and friendly staff. The prawn and smoked fish starter was great. The burger was perfect for my daughter The roast beef was top notch Thanks

Dreadful customer service, it seemed they had over booked and put my party in a makeshift space. Wooden Kitchen chairs to sit on we just felt like our custom wasn’t welcome and to top it off they didn’t even apologise . The restaurant did not...

Had an amazing lunch here today, food and service was excellent. Only complaint was the lights and ceiling fans were very dusty and need cleaning. Shouldn’t happen in a high class restaurant

Took a business colleague for lunch after recommending Deans.We were placed at a table and then a party of six were placed next to us.These diners were celebrating a birthday noisily. we could not hear each other.Only one other table was occupied so there was...

The food was amazing and the staff was super kind and fun! I had originally made the reservation for 9 but they let us come early. Highly recommend the pan fried cod fish main and the starter with the black pudding bon bons!

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. The starters were excellent, but let down by the main courses. Too salty - chef in need of hydrating as his taste buds are way off! Also, very odd that there was no main vegetarian choice.

sorry we did not check current reviews it would have saved an embarrassment as the main courses were so full of salt it was disappointing.We will not be back'

Visited recently for Saturday lunch and both the starter and main were spectacular - well worth a visit !!

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and looking at the dry ice cocktails you expect a great experience. For us we didn’t get that. Service was slow. Ordered drinks on arrival and they didn’t arrive until the same time as the starters. Starter was great in presentation...

We came for a pre-theatre dinner and were immediately impressed by the atmosphere and the friendly welcome. The food was well presented and delicious with some imaginative taste combinations. Both the lamb and the venison dishes were tender and tasty and the wines of good...

We were warmly welcomed. Lovely warm bread and butter. Drink order quickly taken. The menu was varied, however the additional cost of many things on the menu?? Wine very overpriced. Please chef, don't over season! Every course would have been great but was way too...

This was my first time to Dean's and I had the most fantastic meal. My wife and mother in law also felt the same and we agreed that it was probably one of the best meals we have had in a very longtime. We will...

Well once again visited Deans Restaurant for a Sunday Roast credit to all the staff for an excellent dining experience and well done Jamie the beef was perfection keep up the high standards.

Had a really delicious meal at Dean's tonight. We both enjoyed it. The service was also welcoming and excellent. Looking forward to our next visit!

Disappointed! Been several times before and loved this restaurant for the delightful food and service. This time however, set lunch food was good, but not great and the portions were huge which put us off. Both starters were tasty and the flavoured soda bread was...

This was an incredibly good meal, with such lovely staff and nice surroundings. It was one of the hottest evenings of the year (which ordinarily makes me a bit less enthusiastic about food, and rather uncomfortable) but the wait staff were so very welcoming, fast...

An excellent menu with a great seasonal choice. Food absolutely delicious and staff service outstanding . Highly recommend this restaurant.

We had dinner here last night to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary and it was OUTSTANDING! We eat out a lot and have eaten in some fantastic places but we both enjoyed this meal as much if not more than many of them. The starter...

The food was some of the best I have eaten for a long time. Really well priced too considering it was fine dining. I would definitely recommend to anybody that likes good food.

Well presented food which was overall okay. Rather expensive for the quality, steak was cooked well but lacked any sort of seasoning and a side never arrived. Drinks were great. A good evening but over priced for the food.

Easily one of the best meals I've enjoyed in years! The flavours in each course were absolutely outstanding. The seafood starter was cooked to perfection. Scallops & Prawns. Just the right portion size. The beef fillet was cooked exactly how I like it. The accompanying...

Obviously I can’t review all dishes but the main I had …. Crusted Cod on smoked salmon with lentils etc was very poorly cooked and not presented well. Also when served could only call it look warm. Based on the price I did not consider...

Friendly restaurant with excellent food. The dishes - modern British (Scottish) - use local produce and are often original combinations eg cheese soufflé with haggis. Service is friendly and efficient and it is very good value, especially if you are used to London prices!

A real find. A friendly welcome from the staff, great beer and a wonderful gin cocktail with lime and basil leaves! The menu was interesting and varied. The scallop starter was superbly presented, as was the hot smoked fish selection and both were delicious. The...

I travel alone so often go out for an evening meal on my own. I booked a table for 1,and felt like this was resented by staff. I was sat near the bar/door to kitchen facing exactly where waiting staff stand, waiting for the food...

Order a cocktail… most of them are very good. Espresso Martini is my thing… and this was good. Food delicious and beautifully presented and prepared. Staff are welcoming attentive and friendly without being bothersome. Prices have crept up a bit over recent times but perhaps...

The food was amazing and well presented - like something out of Masterchef. Staff were very attentive and welcoming. Our water and wine glasses were kept filled. Food was delicious with plenty of choice, we only managed a starter and main. All staff were really...

The restaurant wants to bring an accessible fine dining restaurant to Perth. The food was wonderful. We had various dishes on the Sunday lunch menu and all were good quality and well cooked (the chicken breast with spring vegetables was delicious). Staff were mostly helpful...

My husband and I took my Father-in-law and his girlfriend to Deans for lunch. We were so well looked after and the meal was superb they even let Joyce try a mouthful of the wine before pouring her the glass she wanted - the only...

Jane and I dined here on a Saturday night to celebrate her notable birthday which had been delayed from last year. We had a voucher which had been gifted to her from friends so I did not have to pay for it all. It has...

What can I say, absolutely outstanding food & service. Hubby & I were lucky enough to be giving a Voucher. We decided to have the 3 course set lunch on Saturday, all our dishes were absolutely delicious, & filling. The staff were very professional, well...

Could not fault this restaurant. After booking, they phoned to check if we wanted the Valentine menu or the A la Carte to avoid disappointment - champagne and rose in the Valentines package. Cocktail was perfect, good range of whiskies, food and wine was amazing...

Had a meal and some drinks this afternoon as a group of six, The food was amazing, and the staff could not have been more attentive . Excellent , thank you

Another excellent meal experience at deans, their food is amazing and extensive drinks menu! Highly recommend porn star martinis!! Staff go over and beyond to provide an enjoyable dining experience. Not overly expensive and good portion sizes too. Highly recommend and will book again.

My friend and I came to Deans Restaurant for the first time yesterday evening. We booked at 20:30 but came an hour early - they happily allowed us to sit in the bar and enjoy their classic cocktails with a modern twist. Which was delightful...

Beautiful & clean interior, extensive drinks menu, fab food menu, friendly & professional service, food was outstanding as always. You pay for what you get and here you definitely get your money's worth. Can't wait to return again soon!

We started our night with a wonderful selection of cocktails, I can recommend the Paparazzi. Service and food was wonderful so will highly recommend. Servers and staff looked after us wonderfully with spot on recommendations. Wonderful night in fabulous surroundings. We will be back.

My goodness what a true delight, after our 1st trip we will certainly return again and again. Lee and his team provide attention to detail beyond the norm and deliver service excellence in abundance. The food was quite simply divine, the flavour combinations were a...

Went for an evening meal at Deans with friends for the 1st time. After looking at their website and the menu, I had high expectations and was looking forward to something abit special. I wouldn't say I was disappointed but it wasn't the experience I...

I went to Deans Restaurant for the first time last week and was shocked. Rude staff and cold food wasn’t even the worst of it. I waited 40 minutes for my food to arrive cold and bland and the staff didn’t seem to care when...

We visited deans last month . The review I gave after that visit was very positive about the food but less so about the front of house service. We returned last week for lunch and it was a completely different experience. The food as usual...

The staff were excellent, but our Deans experience was.... 1. Very overcrowded and very noisy 2. Pretentious presentation of food 3. Expensive for the quality of the dishes

We arrived a little early and enjoyed a drink in the bar area before going through to the restaurant. The wine we choose wasn't available but the waiter suggested an alternative which was excellent. it does annoy me that one is not told what is...

My wife and I went out for dinner. A beautifully presented restaurant, in great style. Nice, fun and professional service, which only made our stay there. Delicious and amazing looking cocktails. Delicious food served in a modern style. Bravo to the whole restaurant for what...

Probably the best food I've ever had the pleasure to eat. The whole experience was second to none. Many a 5* hotel would have struggled to compete. Thank you all so much for excellent service and superior food. Definitely recommend this fantastic restaurant 👌

First visit here on a busy Saturday afternoon, friendly welcome from staff who were very smartly dressed and very professional. We ordered crisp fried sole and Deans Orkney gold beef burger both dishes were tasty and very well presented. We enjoyed our visit, its a...

What has happened to Dean's.? We visited this restaurant regularly but something has changed. Lunch today was not a good experience. It took more than 40 minutes for a one course meal to arrive. Looking around the restaurant there were many diners wondering where their...

Enjoyed a delicious meal here on Saturday night. Very attentive service and reasonably priced, highly recommend. Not sure why no coat rack available, and not all staff were wearing masks.

We hadn’t been to Deans for a few years and so have it another try Reason was before front of house not so friendly Went for pre drinks in the bar area Very nice but nowhere to put coats We discovered eventually that this is...

Today’s lunch was my 3rd visit here, previous occasions were as a (medium sized) group at Christmas in the evening, and today was lunch with a friend. I recommended the restaurant due to the superb experiences previously and today was no different. On each of...

In for a saturday lunch, friendly staff and great tasting and well presented food! A good choice when in perth. Thank you

Visited Deans for lunch today. My wife had the minute steak - tender and tasty. Followed by a very addictive Chocolate tart along with two beautiful cocktails. I had the special of prawn and salmon cocktail, venison for main and the rhubarb and custard parfait...

Whilst on a short break in Perth we called in for a lunch. So glad that we did. Staff were professional and attentive and food was amazing. Venison was fabulous and in fact we enjoyed the experience so much we went back a few days...

Visited today for cocktails. Shame we weren’t dining as the dishes we saw looked and smelt delicious. Friendly, prompt service. Cocktails were lovely both in taste and presentation. Will be back for food next time for sure!

Excellent meal, the venison was superb. Our old favourite, sticky toffee pudding a good 9.5/10. An unusual larger, Innes and Gunn, matured in whisky barrels: strongly recommended . Very busy, so make sure you book.

Probably one of the best restaurants in the city! The menu choice wasn't particularly extensive, but the quality of the food made up for that. Probably the best steak I've eaten for a very long time!! They seemed to be a bit short on the...

Absolutely fantastic from the minute we arrived we were looked after so well the staff are professional and have a bit of fun with you too great personalities … the food is just out of this world perfect portion sizes flavours to die for and...

This was just a lovely meal, I had the medallion, which was superb, my wife had the lamb with gnocchi, she wasn’t keen on the gnocchi but the lamb was just superb, my meal was to die for, we shared a cheesecake desert, service was...

Had a great steak dinner at Deans on a discount Thursday, So nice to have a special meal in nice surroundings, we were well looked after and the whole meal and experience was excellent.

We booked the restaurant rather unsure what we might get, bearing in mind Covid19 lockdown. The ambience was quiet but pleasant. The food was really excellent. We were brought a selection of breads - homemade - they were so tasty. We had lamb and chicken....

Since the restaurant is currently closed only takeaway food is available. We chose the Thai menu at the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very generous tasty starters and mains but we couldn't resist the puddings which were really delicious. Our delivery driver was charming and...

Had the dine in for two takeout meal .. only needed a little bit of heating in the oven .. 2 different starters the twice baked soufflé with the cream sauce was awesome. The steaks were partially cooked and only needed 10 minutes on the...

We just finished our delicious and plentiful roast beef and yorkshire pudding with lovely veg. Beautifully cooked and nicely presented in compostable packaging. Hardly any dishes, no taties to peel and as good as you would get in the restaurant. A wonderful treat!

Ordered the Christmas at Home box. I really appreciated being able to order for 5, however, I was surprised to be charged £112.50 as the box for 4 is £80 (£20 per person) so this means we were charged £32.50 for the extra person. I...

Dean's had a reputation as the best in Perth. Today the food was good, beautifully presented, but the service was poor. No-one in charge front of house. What has gone wrong?

First time in a restaurant for 8 months and was happy to accept that things may not be as they used to be. The food was very good but the service was abysmal. More than sufficient staff about but no care or leadership. Time between...

Another wonderful visit as always. Superb service. Excellent choices on the menu. Just a lovely time when you come here. Have you been yet?

Had a very belated birthday lunch here today and it was well worth waiting on. The quality of the food was of the usual high standard and the service was good too. It was lovely to see the restaurant busy. We just love coming here...

On arriving in Perth we stumbled across Deans for lunch it was so good that we booked for dinner the following night, The menu had a great choice and the food exceptional, I read some of the other comments and can’t believe what was said...

Excellent food, great service , wee mix up with bill but sorted out . Would definitely go back. Great value.

Partners birthday who is a real foodie. Nice place with super good food from a simple menu with locally sourced ingredients. Recommend

Myself and a few friends went to Dean’s for our friend’s birthday. All the staff were so friendly and attentive. Service was very quick and the staff went to the effort of giving my friend a sparkler in her birthday dessert which made the trip extra special. Food was exceptional and cocktails were yummy!! Will definitely be going back soon

My family visited Deans Restaurant Saturday 8th August - a party of 10. The quality of the food was really good but our experience was far from good. We were overchanged by £90, I was questioned twice about the £50 deposit I paid which should not happen, when you take deposits you should record them correctly. I also had a £40 bottle of wine added to our bill - when I questioned this I wss told they didnt know who had ordered the wine so they stuck it on our bill as we were a big party - I feel this is outrageous! One in my party complained that his bottle of beer was off, this was ignored and no apology offered, he also didnt get the started her ordered, again no explanation. Overall a good night out ruined by supporting staff, and to top it off the Assistant Manager had a couldnt care a less attitude and wasnt interested at all. Prais to the chef but sadly you are let down by the rest of the staff. I would not reccomend coming here at all

We have been using this restaurant for the past 23 years. We have never been disappointed by the food or the service.Our most recent visits, following the lifting of the restrictions, were easily up to the standard we have come to expect.The Covid precautions weren’t too intrusive and the food was excellent, making it a very relaxing and enjoyable evening.
