When visiting the restaurant, patrons descend 18 feet underground in a canopied glass elevator, accessed from street level, for a culinary experience unlike any other. The American Steakhouse offers an expansive 1,800 square foot subterranean courtyard allowing patrons to dine al fresco and enjoy a New Orleans-inspired exterior space. This cool oasis is complete with a 20 foot, 5-tiered granite water wall, multi-tiered landscaping, lava rock fire pit, and black granite bar. 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.

    The appetizers were amazing! The sides as well as the dessert! We had the Tiramisu Cheesecake that was to die for. However, our steaks lacked a good flavor and it was super tough.

    Celebrating our anniversary, and this definitely lived up to our expectations. We were greeted properly, the ambience was amazing, and the service was top-notch. Our server Chrissie, was great. She was very knowledgeable about the menu, allergy restrictions, and more. She was working multiple tables and was very much attentive to each and every table. Overall, it was a great experience and a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary

    We had Dakota's for Christmas Eve dinner last year and had such an amazing experience and the best braised short ribs- that we had to go back this year! Our waiter Henry, was fantastic and attentive. The short ribs lived up to my memory and expectations plus the lobster mac & cheese was to die for! We will certainly go back soon!!

    The food was amazing and Kayla was even better! She told us the full story of the restaurant’s location and had the best recommendations for food! She was attentive and gave us the best experience. Drinks were amazing as was the food. Steak was cooked perfectly and the scallop appetizer is to die for. Highly recommend the restaurant and recommend Kayla even more!

    The hottest was not friendly or welcoming at all. Except for the lady that walked us over to the table. The lady that checked us in was super dry and not very helpful at all 0/10 to that lady and 10/10 to the lady that walked us to our table. Our server was very nice and super attentive and friendly. The food was amazing as always. The Valet was not very accommodating, did not provide me with a ticket to retrieve my car and made it seem as if I dropped my ticket when it was not the case. For such a prestigious restaurant and I frequently visit with friends and family to have a host like that it’s very disappointing. Overall 8/10
