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.

Brain L was a fantastic server and provided an insight on the fan favorites at Dakotas. The crab cake lollipops, Aussie ribeye and cheese cake were all great recommendations provided by Brian. When I come back I’ll be sure to ask for him again.

The service was the best… The absolute best! Nothing but positive things to say about the entire experience. The food, the service, ambiance were all top notch. Dinner, date, business meeting, whatever the occasion this place will not disappoint. I recommend asking for Henry… He’s second to none. Incredible attention to detail. The famous tater tots were very good, the oysters they’ve selection are on point, the steaks are melt in your mouth amazing and the wine list is robust. Overall great experience.

Love Dakotas! Food is always amazing (absolutely obsessed with their tots) and service is always stellar. Kayla is fantastic and Matt makes a mean spressy teen 🍸. 10/10 would recommend.

I have written about 3 reviews in my entire life. I have never tasted food that divine, and the ambience and service were both fantastic. Worth every penny, and if I was rich I’d go back all the time.
