This was our first time at Dakota’s. The service was top notch. Abby was phenomenal. She was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations. The Beef Wellington was a group favorite and we got the last one. We will definitely add that to our next reservation. We will be back. This was a perfect night out with friends.
