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.

    I took my eight year old here to kick off spring break. My mom took me here for special occasions when I was growing up and I wanted to carry on the tradition. It was a magical experience from the minute we stepped out of the car. Everyone was so kind to him and treated him like an adult and VIP. We can’t wait to come back for all of our special occasions. Thank you for the perfect night!

    Overall, we have no regrets. It's a very upscale dining location with great drinks and AMAZING food. Zach our waiter was excellent and knew the menu very well. The atmosphere superb, I chose this venue because of the pictured waterfall and we actually sat on the backside and were able to view it. We both got the New York strip, with no toppings or additives. Cooked to perfection, nothing was needed. We said if we go back maybe we'd add it but I can tell you it's not necessary. Also, the sides we choose were Mac n cheese, Au gratin potatoes and carrots. Same there all were absolutely amazing. It was a wonderful date night, if I'm back in Dallas I'd definitely return.

    Came to celebrate two birthdays. Ordered our cocktails and apps. Got our cocktails promptly but our waiter failed to tell us that we needed to put in our full dinner order before the kitchen would start on our appetizers. Appetizers were great and we were looking forward to trying the chowder and a salad which we ordered when We placed our entree order. We were surprised when our entrees came out before we have received our salad and chowders. Our waiter apologized-it was a flurry of trying to explain what happened that I missed the presentation of my beef Wellington. He stopped by later to ask if a manager came by to address what had happened-nope-no manager stopped by even after we told him we hadn’t spoken to anyone. That was disappointing for a high end restaurant like Dakotas. We were very happy with all the food but the experience fell a little short-even leaving the restaurant when the coat check gave me the wrong coat. Goad I realized before I walked out with someone else’s.

    We celebrated our Anniversary at Dakota's and had a beautiful night. We enjoyed the space we were seated in, meaning the noise level was perfect for a couple to conversate while having dinner. The lighting was perfect for the table as well. The sweet touch of the restaurant was a card on the table congratulating us and wishing the best for our marriage. Our server Zach was professional, attentive, and sweet. We all laughed and joked together. The food was delicious. Our favorite dish is the chicken nuggets with caviar. Our wine was perfect for our evening. Brandon offered a champagne we have never tasted before and it was delicious and fun. Definately do not skip the tirimasu cheesecake for dessert! Our evening was lovely and we enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you Dakota's for making us feel special on our big day.

    I had an amazing experience at Dakota’s. The food was superb. We had the scallops as an appetizer. Steaks for dinner, with loaded mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, lobster corn elote, and Brussels sprouts. The service stood out just as much as the food. Our waiter Jared was phenomenal-he was a step ahead the whole night even running the reminder of our food outside when we accidentally left it behind. This was my second time dining here and both experiences were great.

    Everything about this restaurant was beyond perfect. Highly recommend the pork belly, and duck pappardelle, both of which brought actual tears to the eye. Not a single thing we ordered was less than a 10/10. Staff was attentive and knowledgeable and the ambience was amazing. If you have any celebration coming up, this is the place!
