Tei Tei Robata Bar never disappoints. So many restaurants come and go in Dallas but Tei Tei has been around forever. I have never had a bad meal or experience here. The service and food are impeccable. It is absolutely my favorite restaurant. Highly recommend.

Dakota’s Steakhouse- Downtown Dallas

Steakhouse

Downtown

About the restaurant

When visiting the restaurant, patrons descend 18 feet underground in a canopied glass elevator, accessed from street level, for a culinary experience unlike any other. The American Steakhouse offers an expansive 1,800 square foot subterranean courtyard allowing patrons to dine al fresco and enjoy a New Orleans-inspired exterior space. This cool oasis is complete with a 20 foot, 5-tiered granite water wall, multi-tiered landscaping, lava rock fire pit, and black granite bar. Dakota's below-ground patio has long been considered one of the city's most romantic dining spots.

We believe the best steaks come from the best cut and quality. That’s why we get all of our beef fresh from renowned beef purveyors, Allen Brothers. Each cut is corn and grain fed USDA Prime steak that our chef handpicks. Each steak is aged for a minimum of 28 days for a perfectly tender, juicy bite every time.

It is our goal to give you a great meal every time you join us for lunch or dinner.

A choice eating establishment for a fine meal, good service, and pleasant refined surroundings. Meals at our table: the Lamb was superb, ravioli and sauce perfect, and veal parmesan so tender it was cut with a fork. This French Bistro is also a place where you can carry on a quiet conversation, over a select bottle of wine, and hear every word that’s spoken to you….

Absolutely amazing! Kitchen table Chefs Tasting Menu was fantastic. You are in the kitchen as they prepare your meal, but that have created a much more “homey” style kitchen rather than the traditional commercial kitchen. The food and explanation of the menu as you eat is fantastic! The Mezcal selection is amazing as well. If you don’t rent out the whole table (8 guests I think) you will be seated with others which could be good or bad depending on your luck. I would rent out this table for a group in a heartbeat and enjoy a night of cocktails and amazing food. I will 1000% be going back. Maybe try the main dining room and traditional experience, but that will be hard since I know what the kitchen holds for its guests. I can tell why he won Beard Awards.
