- OOmarDallas - Fort Worth •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoI chose Dakota’s for my wife’s birthday celebration for its unique way to enter the restaurant. It is a single elevator in the middle of downtown leading to an incognito underground restaurant. This alone gave very speakeasy and clandestine vibes. The hostess was very pleasant and the flourish sounds from the live piano music made for a very tranquil environment. We were sat in a corner and noticed rose petals on the table as well as a birthday card from the restaurant. (I had mentioned it was for a birthday celebration at reservation time). Our server, named Abby, was very friendly and her recommendations for dinner choices were exactly what we were looking for. My wife ordered the filet mignon and I ordered the Wellington. Both choices were cooked to perfection. My wife loves wedge salads and the avocado drizzle made a very much improvement to the way it’s normally made. Abby was also very thorough in her service and made us feel very welcomed as it was our first time dining there. The end of the meal was made more special with a slice of birthday cake and a lit candle. I highly recommend this restaurant and Abby.More infoDakota’s Steakhouse- Downtown DallasPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.9

10 Top Burgers in Dallas to Add to Your Bucket List
It’s no secret that the heart of Dallas is its restaurants. From the strip mall hidden gems of Frisco to the fine-dining spots in the Park Cities to the endless options on Beltline, this food-loving city only continues to expand its repertoire. So it’s no surprise that Dallas is home to some truly delicious burgers, where the city’s most creative chefs have all kinds of takes on the American classic — a jerk burger, a falafel burger, and a rattlesnake burger, to name a few. One upscale eatery slings a cheeseburger basket fit for kids (you’ll love the side of tater tots), but make no mistake — it appeals to the most sophisticated palates. A couple of restaurants have entire burger menus. Whether you like your burgers traditional with a slice of tomato and a little ketchup, or you’re of a “the-fancier-the-better” mindset, you’ll find your soulmate burger on this top ten list.
Discover Downtown
The city that gave us the frozen margarita machine, Dallas is a thriving metropolis in north-central Texas that's constantly evolving. Are you craving an award-winning brew to wash down your hand-tossed pizza? Are you in the mood for fresh seafood served with creative sides? Are you up for trying some lobster macaroni and cheese or pastry puffs dripping with truffle oil? You'll find all of this in downtown Dallas along with upscale steakhouses, family restaurants with kid-friendly menus, quaint bistros and cafes, and even rolling food trucks and a few speakeasy-style bars! Of course, you can't spend any time in downtown Dallas and not try some of city's iconic dishes; these include lobster dumplings, brisket tacos, "corny dogs," and anything barbecued or fried.
