Indy’s dining scene just leveled up. Dean’s Steak & Seafood—White Lodging’s newest concept—is now open downtown, bringing a fresh, elevated take on the classic American steakhouse.
Inspired by the White family’s legacy, Dean’s blends Indiana roots with a modern edge. The space is fully reimagined with rich woods, bold color-blocking, brass accents, and art pulled straight from the family archives—setting the tone for a warm, stylish dining experience.
Replacing OP Italian, the restaurant introduces a completely new vision for the JW Marriott’s food and beverage program. The layout features seating for around 160 in the main dining room, 25 in a private dining space, and 50 more across its energetic cocktail and oyster bars.
Already celebrated in Charlotte, Austin, and San Antonio, Dean’s brings its award-winning reputation to Indianapolis with prime cuts—including American, Australian, and Japanese Wagyu—a curated oyster bar, rare and vintage wines, and a standout cocktail program. Modern, polished, and unmistakably Indy—Dean’s is built to be the city’s next signature steakhouse.
