Dakota’s is hands down one of the best dining experiences in Dallas! From the moment you arrive, the free valet service makes everything effortless (just don’t forget to tip!). As soon as you step inside, you’re greeted with an elegant atmosphere and a stunning underground dining space featuring breathtaking waterfall views. The food is absolutely phenomenal—perfectly cooked steaks, fresh seafood, and an incredible selection of appetizers and sides. Their drink menu is equally impressive, with a great variety of wines and cocktails to complement any meal. What truly sets Dakota’s apart is the service. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and ensures that every detail is perfect. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a night out, this is a must-visit spot in Dallas. Can’t wait to go back!

Met one of my best friends here for dinner. We had a reservation and got a table tucked in that had a nice bit of privacy. The food was excellent! Everything we ordered was freshly prepared and tasted great. The wait times were short. The waiter was prompt to refill drinks and check in if we needed anything. The after dinner drinks were over priced, but that is pretty typical at a steakhouse. We went and bought our own bottle of 30 year port to enjoy after dinner.

This is an upscale restaurant located underground in Downtown Dallas. The ambiance was wonderful, & the decor looked fantastic. This is a perfect place to dine on date nights, for celebrations, or if you just have a palette that prefers fine dining. The wine selection was good. I ate the short ribs, and they were extremely tender. The service was 10/10. At the end of your visit, they'll take your valet ticket and have your car waiting for you once you make it above ground exiting the establishment. I had an amazing experience and do recommend that you experience this place.

The restaurant has a very dark/moody vibe so a good date night place for sure. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the short ribs and they were so good! I also ordered a pamelo for my cocktail which was great as well. The cake (complimentary for birthday) was super good. Didn’t order any apps but I will be back to try more of the menu!

The Food staff and atmosphere was great I sat at the bar, ordered the blacken Salmon and for the appetizers I ordered the Calamari and a 2 glass of wine. The food was great. And thanks to the great waitresses and waiters for taking care of me.

First time at Dakota’s, had a reservation for my boyfriend’s birthday. This restaurant is beautiful and elegant. Dim lighting and the waterfall we were sitting by makes it so romantic. There was a pianist and it gave the restaurant a nice atmosphere. Our waiter, BRIAN L was so pleasant. He was kind, friendly, and just had a good vibe that you don’t find anymore. He gave my boyfriend and I recommendations for food and drinks. Thank you Brian

I recently celebrated my birthday at Dakota’s, and it was an incredible experience. I had requested a more private seating arrangement, and they went above and beyond by seating us in a cozy corner that made the occasion feel extra special. Brandon our waiter was attentive, friendly, respectful, and ensured that everything was perfect throughout the meal. The food was absolutely delicious – every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. There is also a pianist in the background. The combination of excellent service, a warm intimate atmosphere, and amazing food made this birthday celebration truly extraordinary. I’ll definitely be back soon.
