About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Romantic
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.

    First trip to Dallas, and found this wonderful steakhouse. A cool vibe. The elevator ride to the sunken garden was neat - like entering an exclusive speakeasy. The NY Strip was perfectly cooked. Service by Nick was first class.

    Went to Dakota’s to celebrate a friend’s birthday and had such a great time! The food was incredible and the staff was very attentive. I ordered the sweet & sour fried lobster at the recommendation of our server Brian and it was incredible. The lobster elote corn and truffle fries were equally as good too. Thank you to all the managers and staff for their exceptional service. Special thanks to Brian L, Ki, and Brandon B for all their help!

    Absolutely phenomenal from start to finish! Rita’s warm welcome set the tone, and Brian L and Brandon B service was nothing short of exceptional. Huge compliments to Chef Ji and Chef Beto. Every bite, especially the bone-in cowboy, was “melt-in-your-mouth” perfection. Major kudos to all the managers Ki, Drake, Magdy, and Derrick for checking in on us all throughout our dinner. The entire staff’s hospitality and teamwork truly elevate the experience. And the sommelier, Brandon Smoot, wine pairings were spot on. 10/10 — can’t wait to come back.

    Went for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday dinner, and everything was better than I could imagine! Brian, our waiter, went above and beyond, from explaining the menu items and drinks. Everything was great.

    Brian W. was an amazing server, ask for him if you can. All of the staff were very attentive and the food was delicious. Definitely get the tater tots (get at least 2 for each person trust me). The crab cake lollipops are good but nothing special. The risotto was a delicious recommendation by Brian. The boneless ribeye was good but not the best I’ve had. The Nebbiolo wine was amazing!

    After two years, I'm glad Dakota’s is still as classy as ever. An underground escape from the city with a peaceful waterfall to soothe you while you dine. A special thanks to Drake, & Marion for their excellent service.

    First off, the service was fabulous! Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. We went there for Easter brunch like we have every Easter for the last three or four years. I decided to try something different, but I wish I had not. Poached eggs were good on what was supposed to be short rib hash and potatoes. Unfortunately, there were only three pieces of meat and everything else potatoes. On top of everything else, there was a family in the room that decided that they didn’t care if their child screamed and hollered and wave the table light for the entire hour that we were there. I’m not so sure that we will be going back.
