Our server Mason was amazing! Best lemon drop martini I’ve had. The food was also top notch. I had the Korean short ribs and the butternut squash crème brûlée… to die for! We didn’t love that there were slot machines about 15 feet away and you could hear everything going on in the casino, but the food and service made up for it!

About the restaurant

We’ve always believed that dining should be a social occasion, a time when friends, family, and coworkers can enjoy great conversation over a great meal.

We believe in supporting our local artisans and staying connected to our Black Hills community. At a time when the area is growing and expanding, we are striving to keep the flavor of the region alive.

Inspired by the history of this area, both the aesthetics of the building and the diversity of the menu are true to our local roots, something no nation-wide franchise can duplicate. Certainly, there are other steakhouses out there, but none like ours.

From the first design to the actual construction, we have focused on creating a balance between upscale dining and a casual atmosphere-crafting a chic steakhouse where the kids are welcome too.

The rest is easy-buy the very best meat possible and prepare it correctly.

After asking several locals where to find the best steak in Rapid City, Dakotah consistently came up, and they were correct! The sides, sauces, dressings were all incredible and made in-house, which was evident. The filets were cooked perfectly as ordered, and the toppings did not overwhelm. Our server, Brandy, was lovely, excellent at her job, and gave us great recommendations for ordering, as well as some fantastic things happening around town. She helped make it one of our most memorable meals of the trip!

The food was superb! We got the buffalo ravioli in spicy vodka sauce - good heat and tasty. Also got the walleye with purple rice and quinoa with succotash - also quite tasty (had a couple bones). Half Caesar salad was huge. The dressings are all house made and we got the balsamic vinaigrette and French, it’s great.

The food was delicious but be careful about the starters. We had 3 people in our group and ordered the scallops costing $25 but only received 2 on the plate. You think for $25 they could have given us each one. Food took awhile to get to us and slow on refilling the water glasses. But the food was delicious. Cost of the night very expensive.
