This was my first time eating at Dakotas and it did not disappoint. I researched several steakhouses in Dallas where I could celebrate my birthday with friends and this one had great detailed reviews including reviews about Brian so I was so thankful he ended up being our server. He was so kind, patient and knowledgeable about the menu! He made this dining experience even more lovely. Will definitely be back and will ask for Brian!

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.
