Best Romantic Restaurants in Uptown

I decided to give this restaurant a try after hearing raving reviews from other locals, and let me just start by saying it’s even better than the hype. I took my husband here for his birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed the night. The great location on the corner made it easy to find in the busy Dallas streets and the valet gentlemen were friendly and ready to take the car making it a smooth transition. I enjoyed the ambiance from the time you step into the elevator all the way to entering the restaurant. We had reservations so there was no wait time. I appreciated the hostess wishing my husband a happy birthday upon seating us and making sure we were comfortable at our table. There was a happy birthday card from the entire Dakota staff with roses already at the table giving it a special touch. The star of our night though was our waiter Brian L. He genuinely took care of us and made the night so special. It was our first time visiting and he elaborated on the drink menu options available. After picking our drinks, he walked us through the menu thoroughly and recommended for us to try the 4 course tasting. He informed us we wouldn’t have to stress about what to choose from the menu and it did not disappoint. We agreed and he asked us a few questions to figure out what we liked. Brian communicated effectively with the chef to deliver some of the most heavenly food imaginable. My husband and I like extremely different foods and the chef was still able to accommodate us both. As every course was brought to the table, Brian was present and ready to inform us about all dishes presented. It is evident that he is passionate about what he does, knowledgeable about the menu, and has an exquisite palate as well. His infectious personality was the cherry on top. My husband and I rated every steakhouse we have been to and Dakota’s is definitely number one on our list. When our family comes in town to visit we will are certainly bringing them here for the experience as well.

The service in this restaurant is outstanding. We've dined here 4-5 times, and every time it feels like family. We've visited NYC many times, and this restaurant feels like a family restaurant on Mulberry in Little Italy. The owner understands hospitality, friendliness and excellence. We will continue to return.

The best meal my husband and I have had in Dallas. We split 3 rolls and edamame between the two of us and it was plenty of food. We also loved the clarified mezcalrita, and my husband said it was the best cocktail he’s ever had. Could not recommend Catch higher!!

The service is extraordinary. Everyone we interacted with especially our main server John Paul was gracious and attentive. We tried a couple of the canapes, unique and yummy. the ceasar is enough for 4 to share and the Corn and Truffle Beignets were a great beginning. the flavors were bold perhaps more sauces than we might usually enjoy on the mains. the broccolini had ginger dressing which was one of our favorites. the Sundae for dessert capped the evening! as others have mentioned it is "pricey" plan to drop over $200 per person.

It’s such a charming restaurant!! Service is amazing!!! Food is delish!!!
