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.

    My wife and I had a memorable anniversary dinner at Dakota’s Steakhouse last night. Our waiter, Brian, ensured our dining experience was exceptional. We enjoyed the suggested cocktails, appetizers, and meal choices. We’re savoring the leftovers for lunch today. Brian surprised us with a chocolate-iced confetti cake decorated with Happy Anniversary Nick and Kay. It was a delicious meal and dessert, making it an amazing evening. Thank you for the wonderful service and food!

    Very nice evening. I had fish and it was most excellent. My wife had the filet, which she said was quite tasty also. The potatoes and esp the tator tots were great. The only "issue" was the dress code that they harp on the website was NOT enforced. This seems to be a problem every restaurant has, so im not faulting them for it. It's the woke culture, which hopefully will go away soon now that we have leadership again. We will be back!

    Taylor our waitress was amazing. We had never been there and the options she recommended were amazing she didn’t try to sell us on the most expensive things but the ones that were the most popular. She was very kind and treated us amazing for me and my girlfriend’s anniversary. The music was perfect and lighting was amazing the food was the best steakhouse I have ever been too.

    Dakota’s Steakhouse offered a wonderful dining experience. The steak was delicious but would’ve been better bone-in for the value. The salmon was perfectly cooked and flavorful, and the mashed potatoes were the best we’ve had at a steakhouse. The staff was friendly and attentive—our waiter was very knowledgeable, and management ensured we enjoyed our meal. The calm ambiance, live piano music, and lack of crowding made it even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

    “A Thanksgiving tradition” Not sure I can say that after only 2 years but I would like to. We visited first time 2 years ago and had a great luncheon. We had to be out of town last year so missed our return. Sage our server was a pro and a delight. Food choices once again superb. See you next year!

    We had the prix fixe Thanksgiving dinner at Dakota's for the second year in a row. It was once again a pleasant dining experience. The ambiance was welcoming and comfortable and the room looking out on the urban "waterfall" was quiet enough to have an easy conversation. The food was very tasty, especially the appetizers and salads. There was a nice selection of entrees as well including the filet mignon and turkey. My only suggestion would be to serve the accompanying vegetables (mashed sweet potatoes and green beens) on the plate alongside the turkey rather than on top of each other to keep it from getting too mashed up. Also, the stuffing/dressing, which was served separately as a side dish, was a little soggy and needs to be drier and baked in the oven. The roasted Brussell sprouts were great. The cocktails and wine selections by the glass were fine. The dessert selections were varied and enticing. They offer free valet parking, but last year I received a $50.00 fine and citation from the parking garage they use, so I hope they have that straightened out. (I was able to get that straightened out with the help of the restaurant management but only after multiple phone calls and messages.)
