The steakhouse will have a two-level dining room with 207 seats, an oyster bar, and a curated private wine room.

The release adds that the Dean’s menu will have prime steaks, A5 Japanese and Texas wagyu, and seafood.

The Bar at Dean’s, a square-shaped bar with woven panels, will serve items from the steakhouse.

At the bar, patrons can partake in the exclusive ‘Dean’s List.’ The bar will have rare bourbon pours that are ‘off the menu’ and vintage bottles of wine.

The Study at Dean’s is the third featured bar. This intimate cocktail bar will highlight the art of mixology.

The bar will offer 78 seats and include a lounge and patio section. The menu will also have small plates like charcuterie, caviar, wagyu tartare, and more.

A new rooftop bar will also be a part of the boutique hotel. The Tenfold Rooftop will be one of the tallest in the city, according to the press release.

The luxury hotel will be located in the 400 block of South Alamo Street, just west of Hemisfair and north of Cesar Chavez Boulevard.

The 10-story hotel will have 347 rooms, a rooftop pool and lounge, 10,000 square feet of event space, and a fitness center.
