This was our second time here, but first in a few years. We had a nice table on the covered patio area close to the outside waterfall feature. Our dinner was excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive. We both ordered filets that were cooked perfectly. My wife ordered the truffle butter and I ordered the Dakota’s steak sauce on the side. Both were unique and delicious. We tried the carrots and the risotto for sides and both were fantastic. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend.
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Dakota’s Steakhouse, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The ambiance is truly unique—being underground gives it an upscale, intimate feel that’s perfect for a special occasion. The atmosphere alone makes it worth the visit, but the service took it to another level. If you go, ask for Brandon. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure our night felt special without being over the top. Everything about the experience felt intentionalfrom the setting to the overall dining experience. This is definitely a must-try if you’re in Dallas and looking for a memorable night out. Highly recommend for date nights or celebrations. We’ll definitely be back.
One of the best dinning experiences we have had in Dallas. Everything from the moment we stepped on the elevator till the moment we left was refined and wonderful. The beef wellington was one of the best dishes I've ever had. And the cocktails were amazing. Their twist on an old fashion using tequila was so unique and good. The atmosphere and service was also the best. It was so cool to have the underground location. I strongly recommend trying dakotas for your next celebration.
From the moment we arrived, the valet staff was professional and nice. The elevator down, the space was beautiful and very swanky. The hotess greeted us, told us happy anniversary and asked if we wanted to check in our coats. We were escorted to our table that had rose petals on it and a sign that said happy anniversary. The waiter, Nico, greeted us with a happy anniversary and was knowledgeable of the menu. We liked his suggestions. The chef made us a special off menu small dessert for our anniversary and we had a complimentary glass of rose champagne. Highly recommend this for date night, anniversary or just because.
I've lived in Dallas for years and somehow never made it to Dakota's Steakhouse. Safe to say I've been missing out. If you go, do yourself a favor and get the 4-course tasting menu. It was more food than we could eat, and we still took plenty of leftovers home. Every course was fantastic, but the standouts for us were the tater tots, deviled eggs, chicken nugget, porterhouse, and tiramisu cheesecake. Honestly though, everything was amazing. The underground dining experience is unlike anything else in Dallas, and Zach's service made the night even better. Dakota's is a Dallas classic for a reason. 🥩🍷
Went to celebrate my birthday, To start the Oysters were delicious. The lollipop Crab cakes were good and I loved the idea of using the claw very well presentation. Everything moved quickly and efficiently. We had a reservation and were seated quickly. Servers and managers were very attentive and our table was never empty. It was actually the quickest dining experience I think I ever had. The steak was made a perfect medium well and melted in our mouth if was like butter. The sides were delicious. Overall great experience great service and great food.
The food was outstanding, especially the clam chowder. The steaks were truly amazing and there is a wide variety of sides to choose from as well. Beautiful scenery and music for a date night...great ambience! Our waiter, Judge, was the best at taking care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. Please give this guy a raise! Mgmt also truly cares about cusomer service as well. Can't say enough great things about this place! You need to try this restaurant!
Wow! What a fantastic dining experience! We were struggling to decide what to eat, Julio A. Our waiter was truly wonderful and knowledgeable- suggested the 4 course sample …. The chef took careful consideration of our likes, dislikes- even though hubby and I don’t like/dislike all the same things … This was such a fun and beautiful experience! It was our anniversary dinner and it was fabulous! We would gladly come back …. All dishes were presented beautifully and tasted incredible! The deserts were fantastic as well. We sat by the fountains- which was also lovely. One of the most memorable evenings … even the valet, Alex was thoughtful and on point in every way! Can’t wait to come back!
Dakota's Steakhouse delivered an unforgettable birthday dinner, and the experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, Zach provided exceptional service that transformed a great meal into a truly memorable celebration. His attention to detail, knowledge of the menu, and genuine hospitality made us feel welcomed and valued throughout the evening. Zach anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and helped create a birthday experience I will treasure for years to come. We started with the seafood platter, which was absolutely incredible and the perfect way to begin the meal. For our entrees, we sampled several different cuts and preparations: a ribeye, cowboy ribeye, filet, and beef Wellington. Every steak was cooked perfectly and showcased the quality Dakota's is known for. The beef Wellington was especially impressive, while the cowboy ribeye was packed with flavor. The sides were just as outstanding—mushrooms, asparagus, scalloped potatoes, creamed spinach, and truffle fries—all prepared beautifully and perfect for sharing. To finish the evening, we enjoyed the chocolate hazelnut cake, which was rich, decadent, and the ideal ending to an amazing meal. Between the outstanding food, elegant atmosphere, and Zach's exceptional service, this was one of the best dining experiences I've had in Dallas. Thank you to the entire Dakota's team for making my birthday so special. We will absolutely be back!
It really touches on all the best notes of a dining experience. The mystic begins as you take the elevator downstairs with a waterfall view like no other once you get in the dining room. The piano player is top notch in creating the experience as well. The service is welcoming and knowledgable and it’s all brought tougher with fantastic and tasty dishes and steaks. I was blown away away by the creative and well executed menu. The bone marrow dumplings and pork belly dishes really were extraordinary. We had a larger party and they had no problem helping us feel like a two top on a special occasion. All the steaks were wonderful, especially the ribeye. When the steaks arrive, they have you cut it open just to ensure that your temperature is correct, bravo. The accompaniments were fantastic. We all saved them for dessert and it did not disappoint. Please see the photos and now we will be back.
