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.
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
