Amazing place! We came in time for happy hour and had drinks, $1 oysters, and a few other happy hour dishes. They were all delicious! The bartender Julie was wonderful, quick and attentive even though it was getting busy. We will definitely be back!
Edited: added more photos. 5/5 happy hour!

Great service ambience and food. I had fish and chips and my partner had rib eye. The oysters an clam chowder were great for appetizers and I loved my mini martini.

First off—Miles, our waiter, was top notch! Could not be more attentive, friendly or FUN! He made us feel so welcome. I wasn’t sure about the menu at first since I’m not a huge fish or oyster fan, but wow—I was pleasantly surprised.
I ordered the kale Caesar salad (without the kale—ha!) and it was still absolutely delicious. The chicken potato dish…. sauce was mind-blowing.
My husband got the whitefish tacos and said they were the best he’s ever had. Seriously… AWESOME.
Drinks were great and the love music was incredible!
Definitely coming back!
We’ll definitely be back!

Ambiance: Simplistic, Industrial
Wait Staff Name: Joe
Drinks: Mini Dirty Martini (happy hour)
Appetizer: Manhattan Clam Chowder
Main: $1 Oysters and Lobster Roll Banh Mi
Dessert: Chocolate Lava Cake
Shensational Factor: $1 Oysters!!! Been craving oysters and researched $1 oysters and Little Dean came up on my search. I spontaneously decided to give it a try. This special runs Monday through Friday during their happy hour between 3-6pm. I got 24 dozens all to myself. The oysters are on rotation for this special and the ones I had were fresh and delicious! I had a cup of Manhattan clam chowder to go along with it all. They also have rotational chowders and soup of the season. The chowder was delicious, with good amount of veggies and clams. I then got a lobster roll banh mi. Unlike most other lobster rolls I have ever gotten for similar price range, this one had SO MUCH lobster meat. Well worth the money. Ended it all with a chocolate lava cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The staff was very attentive and accommodating, especially my waiter Joe.
Will definitely return a visit, possibly with my wife to get more oysters!

Great food, amazing flavors, good vibe. Every bite was better than the next. The photos will speak for themselves. Service was on the slower side but it was nice not to be rushed! From drinks, to oysters, to apps, to entree, to dessert, it was all a hit! Oysters, potato croquette with some amazing chorizo sauce, tender calamari, tender steak, flavorful octopus and more. And OMG the panna cotta and chocolate cake really were a step above!

We drove an hour to dine here and it did not disappoint! We wanted an oyster happy hour and as someone who has had oysters from the south of France, these did not disappoint. We also tried the octopus ceviche, crudo, shrimp cocktail, and tartare – all super fresh, light, and delicious! I highly suggest the pan seared scallop risotto – best thing we’ve eaten in a very long time. Scallops were cooked perfect and that’s not an easy feat. Ryan was our server and I was obsessed with her. She was very attentive as we paced ourselves through dining and always made sure to have our beers and martinis waiting before we could take our last sip. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

We worked with Constantine and hired him to cater our wedding. Working with him was absolutely a pleasure from start to finish. You can tell he really cares about food, not only the selection of quality ingredients, and the careful preparation but even in the presentation and guest enjoyment. This is exactly what we were hoping to showcase on our special day and he and his team came through big time. We worked with one of his staff, Hichem who was just fabulous on the day and created really memorable dishes and exciting food. We are still hearing about the ceviche from our friends and family! Moreover, these folks are the most personable and we are delighted to count them amongst family and eager to spend more time with them and continue to be delighted by what they whip up next!

I haven’t been to Nyack in a while and stumbled across Little Dean’s Nyack—what a find! Not only was the food amazing, but the service was even better. Julianna D. was behind the bar and had the best personality, which made our whole experience so much fun. We took all of her menu recommendations and she did not disappoint—everything was absolutely delicious. So yummy! I’ll definitely be coming back.
