Subterranean steakhouse with waterfall view & luxe New Orleans ambiance
"Even if you don't book a room, Dakota's feels private: it's underground, accessible only by an elevator in the middle of Akard Street, and the subterranean patio has a waterfall so that nosy neighbors can't hear you discussing work gossip or trade secrets. If you need your own space, though, you can book that whole patio for larger receptions, while smaller dinners are best around the private 12-seat chef’s table. Take advantage of the quiet, secluded room to talk shop over chilled jumbo shrimp, beautifully charred steaks, and a creamy, garlic-spiked potato puree." - kevin gray
"Take the street-level elevator entrance down one floor to Downtown’s only subterranean steakhouse. The enclosed patio lets you eat to the backdrop of a cascading rock waterfall. Otherwise, the sea of white tablecloths in the main dining room is a fine consolation prize. Wherever you wind up, start with stiff martinis and our favorite appetizer—a single juicy chicken nugget topped with herby ranch and caviar. Wedge salads are huge and comforting, with enough bacon and blue cheese to render the vegetables obsolete. And the steaks, like the 36-ounce prime porterhouse that’s charred to an audibly crisp crust, can easily feed two grown adults." - kevin gray

"It’s old school to go to Dakota’s, with its massive underground waterfall and traditional service, but it’s also special. There’s an entire section of the menu dedicated to seafood served on ice, an incredible array of steaks, and the tater tot is a must-order — just trust us." - Courtney E. Smith
"The steak frites at Dakota’s is one of the most under utilized lunch deals in Dallas. This 6 oz. steak with a choice of sauces gets diners entry into the cool underground dining room of this steakhouse. At a place where its easy to spend into the hundreds of dollars for dinner, this lunch can be had for just under $20 (before tax and tip)." - Courtney E. Smith
