Reviews
What made the night even more special is that this was my first night out since cancer remission, and the experience could not have been more meaningful. The owner even stopped by our table, impeccably dressed, and spoke to us so warmly — truly made us feel like family. That level of care and class is rare.
Between the outstanding food, excellent service, and genuine hospitality, this was an unforgettable evening. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal and an even better experience.
After months of chemo, exhaustion, appointments, and hard days where life felt anything but normal, we decided it was time to take our first real date night again — not just a quick bite to eat, not just “getting out of the house”… but a moment where we could breathe, reconnect, and celebrate how far she has come.
We chose Dean Martin’s Lanning and I can honestly say it was the perfect choice.
From the moment we walked through the door, the atmosphere was elegant, welcoming, and comforting all at once. Everything about the environment felt intentional — like you were stepping into a true dining experience, not just a restaurant. The professionalism, the pacing, the service… it genuinely reminded me of being on a Princess Cruise, where everyone has a role, everyone is assigned to something specific, and every detail is executed with excellence.
The staff was beyond warm, friendly, and inviting. Not the kind of service that feels scripted — but genuine, thoughtful service that makes you feel like you matter. Like you’re being welcomed into something special.
And the food…
I don’t even know how to describe it other than extraordinary.
Every bite felt like it was prepared with pride. Presentation was beautiful, flavor was unforgettable, and everything was cooked exactly the way a high-end dining experience should be. The steak (as you can see from the photos) was absolutely incredible — perfectly prepared, rich, flavorful, and the kind of meal you don’t forget. Even the little touches, like the rose on the table, made the night feel even more meaningful and romantic.
Now don’t get me wrong — this place is not inexpensive. My mother would jokingly say you have to take out a loan to eat here . BUT… she’d also say the other part — you get what you pay for. And that is 100% true here. This is one of those places where you leave knowing you weren’t just fed — you were taken care of. You were served. You were given an experience.
What meant the most to me was that this wasn’t just a meal… this was our first night out as a couple again after cancer tried to steal joy from our home. And Dean Martin’s Lanning helped us take that joy back.
There truly aren’t enough stars to give.
Thank you for treating us like family.
Thank you for the incredible food.
Thank you for the atmosphere.
And thank you for being part of our very first date night back — a night we will remember forever.
Highly, highly recommended.
But beyond the food, what stood out most was the world-class service and hospitality. Owners Mr. Dean and Ms. Bethany personally welcomed us and made everyone feel like family, even though some guests were first-timers. The wait staff was professional, attentive, and made the evening flow seamlessly. For a couple of hours, it truly felt like being transported back to the 1950s, when service was at its very best.
To top it off, we enjoyed live music from “Dean and Frank” — their voices were outstanding, and I’d highly recommend catching their monthly performance at Lanning’s if you have the chance.
Cheers to Lanning’s for creating an evening of memories that will last a lifetime!
No time was I without a drink, or anything at all- cannot recommend this place enough, support small; support local!
We dine out often and have dined in some really great establishments across the country, but this dining experience was hands down #1 !
As we arrived, the valet guys were so polite and professional. From opening my door to let me out, to joking with my beau. Parking is not far from the front door, so it’s very accessible and convenient.
I have never dined in a restaurant that was so fully staffed. There were several people doing each task from filling water, to expediting, to bringing bread to the table, to scraping the crumbs from the table cloth, to removing unused utensils, etc. The attention to detail and attentiveness to guest needs was top notch. They even escort you to the top of the stairs to go down to the restroom! “Guest coming through!!”
Our server was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. He was funny and sweet and yes, professional. He checked on us just enough not to be intrusive, and made sure that our food and drinks were to our liking. He was definitely one of THE BEST servers we have ever had!
The food was AMAZING!!! Everything that hit our table was delicious, seasoned just right and well-prepared. My medium rare steak was flavorful and juicy along with the sea scallops, and my beau’s Chilean Sea Bass was to die for. We had the creamed spinach and carrots which were shareable side dishes and they were really good. The food came to the table quickly and was hot and fresh. The back of the house staff did their thing!
We had martinis, because why not??!! They were prepared for our glasses right at the table so they were perfectly chilled. There’s a huge selection to try and an ample drink and wine menu.
The atmosphere is inviting. Dean Martin is one of my favorite actors/performers and to see his handsome face in photographs all over the restaurant made me smile LOL The seating, low lighting, ambiance, and vibe is great for a date night, a milestone celebration, or just a night out for good food and drinks.
I can say more, but I’ll stop here LOL I have never in my 59 years been so impressed with a restaurant as I was impressed with this one. Dean Martin’s Lanning Restaurant owes us nothing and we will definitely add them to our rotation of great dining experiences.
Thank you, to the management and staff for running such a well-oiled machine!
