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.

Unfortunately, we did not get the name of the bartender who took care of us and was very pleasant and the drinks were awesome. Dinner was very good beginning with our server Andrea, who was just charming and always very attentive. Overall, the food was very good though I felt like the Dressing could’ve been a little more moist and the salad with a little more dressing and when requested more dressing was brought right away. Otherwise, overall, it was a very nice evening.
