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.

    What an experience for our 36th Wedding Anniversary. Upon arrival we were blown away to realize the restaurant was underground. After leaving our vehicle with the Valet Attendants, we preceded by taking the outdoor elevator straight down into the restaurant from the street. We were greeted at the door only to find live piano music playing. We were then escorted to our table only to find Red Rose Pebbles, a candle light burning with a Happy Anniversary note. Not to mention the visible outdoor waterfall outside the window of the restaurant which was absolutely stunning. Our waiter(Taylor) was so kind and professional. Our meals were carefully planned and delivered in a very timely manner. The food was absolutely delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. The restaurant ambience was impeccable. After visiting many restaurants since moving to the Dallas area 3 years ago, we thought we had already visited the best Dallas had to offer. To our surprise, Dakota's was the best by far. Can't wait to visit again.

    Brian L was our waiter and had great suggestions for my husband's Bday dinner. The Waygu Tamahawk steak was delicious. Thank you Brian for making our evening special. All the suggestions were on point.

    I believe our waitress name is Brian and he did a superb job for me and my wife. It was a special birthday for my wife and we both were very pleased.

    A true hidden gem in downtown Dallas. As always the staff was incredibly attentive, the food was excellent and the pear & cinnamon sorbet was the perfect light ending to a meal.
