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.

    We went to Dakota’s for our first day. Our server, Brian, was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave great suggestions. The quality of food was delicious. We had the 8oz filet mignon, potatoes, asparagus, and salmon. Highly recommend Dakotas for a date night or any special occassion.

    The experience was AWESOME! From the valet service, to the hostess, to the server and support servers, our experience did not disappoint! Our server Brian L. was very knowledgeable of the menu, he was attentive, and he was very professional. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary so the table was decorated as such with a card sending well wishes. We both started with signature cocktails, a Hogs Head Old Fashion and my wife had a New York Nights. For our meal we selected Oyster Rockefeller, Oxtail Croquette, and the Tater Tot. For our main course we both had the 8oz Filet Mignon with crispy brussel sprouts and the Aligot Potato puree. The food runners that brought out our meal didn’t leave the table until we confirmed that our steaks were cooked to our desired temp. I ordered med rare, btw. For dessert, we enjoyed celebratory cake and we ordered the tiramisu cheesecake. They even validate your valet ticket. Came in handy since it was 34 degrees outside. All in all, we will be returning. This was truly a 5 ⭐️ experience. Thanks!

    My birthday dinner was absolutely amazing here at Dakota’s! The ambience was incredible as well as the food and service. Special shout out to Rashad, our waiter, he was so informative about the menu and recommendations of entrees that best fit our liking! A gentleman came to our table and explained the wine list with so much expertise and we also had a brief conversation with the manager. I must say that this was the best dinner experience that I have ever had!

    Dakotas did not disappoint! My filet with the blue cheese crust was delicious and cooked perfectly. It was a great find on Open Table.

    First time visiting Dakota’s after hearing so much about it. From the moment we walked in it was amazing. The service. The attention to details. Our server, Henry, will definitely see us again and we want him to take care of us moving forward. The ambiance was great for a date night situation. The food (Cowboy Ribeye) worth every bite. Perfectly prepared for a steak eater! The waterfalls and the entire experience felt like we need to go back there; and soon! Dakota’s owes us nothing!

    Kayla at the bar was absolutely amazing! This was my first night in Dallas since moving here, and she made me feel so welcome. She took the time to thoroughly explain both the food and drink menus, which I really appreciated. On top of that, the drinks were a solid 10/10. I’ll definitely be back for happy hour!

    The experience was great! It's been about 5 years since we've been back, and it has improved greatly! Henry was absolutely amazing and would love to come back again and request his service.
