    Birthday Card & Desert
    Juana E.

    Dakota's Steakhouse is an underground gem downtown and a great spot for a birthday lunch celebration We started with the hors d'oeuvres, and honestly they were all hits, no misses -Deviled Egg with prosciutto, chives & cheddar crisps had a unique taste but very enjoyable. -Chicken Nugget Caviar was surprisingly good pairing. -Oysters Rockefeller, I am not a huge seafood fan, but these were solid (that creamed spinach was the winner for me) -Tater Tot Bites with white cheddar & truffle aioli was flavorful and satisfying Everything was pleasing overall One small hiccup: I ordered one of each, but two of everything came out, At the time, I assumed that's just how they served it only to later notice a $22 overcharge The waiter was extremely kind and attentive, so I didn't make a fuss however, I do wish my request had been acknowledged. Service was still top-tier He celebrated the birthday girl with a card and finished us off with what I believe was a tiramisu cheesecake which was so delicious! Main course Beef Teriyaki with jasmine rice and asparagus was tender, flavorful, and perfectly sauced . Also ordered the Chicken Parmesan which was just okay. The sauce was good , but the chicken lacked flavor. Final verdict: Flavorchaser Approved Great ambiance, amazing staff, and I'd definitely return.

    We took my cousins here and this was their first time here. They were very impressed. We started out with the tater tots, not just tater tots but tater tots oozing with white cheddar cheesy goodness. We ordered a dozen oysters and asked what size they were and our waiter said medium! The only disappointment of the night. We corrected him and said they're small to tiny!!! We also ordered the tartare cannolis! So so good! We ended up ordering more! Oh and something different that Dakotas does is you order appetizers by the piece. They have an extensive wine list also. Hubby and me split the Cowboy Ribeye. Cooked absolutely perfect! Melt in your mouth. My cousins split the New York Strip. Cooked perfectly. They said one of the best steaks they've ever had. Service is amazing. Lots of waitstaff. Our waiter Brian was so awesome! I would ask for him again. I would also ask to be seated in the bar area. The setting is absolutely beautiful! Try Dakotas!

    Dakota's Steakhouse is excellence in every aspect! I want this Beef Wellington to be my last meal on earth! lol Very classy and romantic place. complimentary valet parking. Our waiter was amazing and the owner came by our table several times checking on the service and food that we had. We had great conversation with him and he sent over a complimentary dessert tiramisu cheesecake. There was a piano player playing in the background and a waterfall you could see on one side of the restaurant. Their espresso martinis are pretty delicious as well. Go here for your next special occasion celebration!

    Came here for date night and left wanting to come back again soon! Make sure to make a reservation before you arrive. The ambiance here is super intimate. The server recommended us some delicious appetizer that left me wanting more. I still think about the mash potatoes till this day. It's a steakhouse so of course we have to get steak. When they bring out the steak, they want you to cut it infront of them to make sure it is to your liking. While I'm unsure what happens if you don't like it, I loved mine. The beef Wellington and filet mignon was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend coming if you're looking for a date night spot.

    Wife and I came out for a special occasion. It's a fantastic location, heart of downtown but a subterranean restaurant that you take an elevator to. Wish we sat next to the water feature, we were in the middle of the main walkway. Staff were very respectful but it was a lot of foot traffic by us which does take away some of the ambience. We did enjoy our food, had a wide range of apps, main entrees and deserts We enjoyed the experience but not sure we'll rush back. There are a lot of great places in town that I may rank ahead.

    We were excited to try this restaurant for my husband's birthday since it was one of the few steakhouses we hadn't been to and our son -- who goes there frequently -- had great things to say about it. We requested to sit outside to enjoy the water feature, but unfortunately, the patio was weatherproofed that night, so we didn't get to experience the outdoor atmosphere we were hoping for. I ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, but it tasted sour. I mentioned this to our waiter, who quickly tried to dismiss it. My husband tasted it as well and agreed that it seemed like the bottle had been open too long and had gone bad. The waiter again brushed it off and started to walk away, and I had to stop him to explain that I couldn't drink it. He reluctantly took it back. Overall, the food was good, but the wine experience and service left something to be desired. Unfortunately, that was enough to leave us disappointed, and I don't think we'll be returning anytime soon.

    Intimate, quiet, and chill. Reasonable price for a steakhouse. The waiter was very attentive and pleasant. The food was good. I enjoyed myself plate and would recommend trying it for yourself. Definitely a date night spot

    Came here for my birthday celebration and it was amazing! To get into the resturant you have to go down the elevator so it gave a speakeasy vibe. They knew it was my birthday and they had a birthday card ready for me at my table. Food was amazing too! We had truffle tater tot, steak, creamed spinach and mushrooms. Would def come here again!

    Dallas has some many good steakhouses, and some come and go. But Dakota's in my opinion doesn't get enough credit or recognition on how good it food and service are. The ambiance is great, the staff is great and the food is excellent. One of my Dallas, favorites.

    Visit Dakota's for my birthday celebration dinner. We made a late reservation not realizing they stopped accepting walks at 10pm. Anyway, I was welcomed in so warmly by the staff and everyone made it a point to wish me a happy birthday! The restaurant is very elegant and has a dress code. The food was very good and drinks as well. I have not a single complaint because this spot and its staff were awesome!

    Ice cream sundae
    Hannah R.

    Underground steakhouse in the middle of Dallas. The service is really attentive and kind. We both got filets which were nice along with the broccolini, risotto, and fries to share. The risotto was both of our favorites for sure. For dessert we got an ice cream sundae which was explained to us like a kid threw it together and that's basically what it is, but super good nonetheless. One thing I didn't love was that when we were asked if we were done with our main plates, they took all of our sides away as well, which we still had quite a bit left of each one. It took us a minute to realize that we were in fact not getting to take them home, and when the sides aren't cheap that's pretty disappointing. Valet is available right in front of the restaurant which you can't miss. They'll "validate" it at your table.

    A very memorable dinner at Dakota's. It is a classic Dallas establishment that I have been meaning to check out. what's unique about this restaurant is that you can only see their elevator above ground, the whole dining room is underground next to water fountains. Tried the crab cake appetizer, ribeye, Kansas city strip, creamed spinach, and Mac and cheese as sides. I really loved the ribeye, with a really nice crust and huge portion. I could only finish 1/3 of it. The mac and cheese was really heavy. I think i prefer the one at Eddie V's a little more but it was still nice. Service was attentive but not overwhelming. Looking forward to going back!

    Though marked with $$$$, I thought this nice place is quite worth the money! We came on a Sunday night with reservation and were seated right away. Everyone was polite and attentive. I often judge a restaurant by the bread they offer and this one definitely has top notch bread!!! The green salad was fresh and tasty. The Smoked Prime Ribs were cooked just right and very tasty. The sides were amazing - loved their mashed potatoes and spinach; the glazed carrots were amazing. I do hope they offer meat dishes with smaller sizes - I ordered the 12 oz prime rib and felt it was too much. Beautiful place with a nice vibe; the room that looks out to a waterfall is especially elegant! The live piano music added a very classy touch. Last but not least, our waiter Brandon was super nice and helpful; he made our dining experience perfect here!

    My husband surprised me with a chocolate making class at Chocolate Secrets…read more We were the only ones who signed up for the class and they only do it Monday - Friday ( we were coming out of town so if you're coming please know you can't do it on the weekends ) They give you molds and different colors and toppings for the chocolates . The chocolates is definitely high quality you can taste it They give you white , milk, and dark chocolate And base colors to make other colors so remember your color charts lol The class comes with a. Free drink and tour Since we had a few bumps as they didn't realize there was a class they through in a tasting of chocolates which we were extremely grateful for! They also have live bands on Friday ! I would definitely come back just to relax and eat chocolates Full review soon on ig and TikTok @SoVeryLoud

    I had been wanting to go to Chocolate Secrets for a while, and finally made it here on Sunday after…read morebrunch with a friend. I got a cafe mocha and it was very good. Because it was my first time, they gave me a free chocolate to try, which was a wonderful surprise. Unfortunately, they didn't have one of the flavors I wanted to try, but I had the rosemary chocolate caramel and it was great! I ended up buying a cute milk-:and dark- chocolate bar, and two more caramel bonbons to take home. The prices aren't cheap but for great chocolate made in-house, it's worth it. I'd like to come back again to try their food, and see the live jazz. Very cute shop with excellent and friendly service. I'll definitely be back.
