"My cousin and I went for brunch last Saturday and had a GREAT experience. Hands down the best restaurant on this side of town. The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. The Manager came over to check on us multiple times throughout the meal, and the chef even came out to say hello too! Next time I'll be dining on the rooftop bar - incredible views! The downstairs restaurant had a great atmosphere - upscale with a coastal vibe. I'll definitely be visiting again soon."

"I was visiting and found the Dewey on the web. Was looking for a five star restaurant. And man oh man did I find it in this place !!! I called was asking questions about their salmon. And Mary, Ann the owner answered the phone, explaining everything with expertise. When I got there to sit down, my waiter already knew what I wanted by talking with Mary Ann on the phone. I was completely surprised, but that’s just the service that you get here . The atmosphere is the most amazing atmosphere I have been in. They’re indoor outdoor patio was simply amazing. The ambience was Beyond speakable. And the owner Mary Ann was pleasant and just an amazing person to talk with. My servers name was Michael and I have to say he is probably the best server that I have ever had in 57 years of going to restaurants all over the world, the service was amazing. he was very accommodating and got every thing perfect. You could tell he was very caring. And he was very accommodating to every need.The food was absolutely perfect. It tasted phenomenal. If you are in this area, I would absolutely recommend this place. It is the best place I have found to eat. The pictures does not do this place justice that I took .And the atmosphere was just awesome."
