What People Are Saying About Dakota's

In Short – Enter this Gaslamp corner steakhouse and you are swept away to an old Western scene on the plains. Sheep head chandeliers, rustic wood paneling, and John Wayne-style portraits fill the walls. A grand staircase dominates the entrance, leading up to the upstairs bar and mezzanine dining area. A handful of tables are available on the patio as well. Come hungry when you come to Dakotas. From the appetizers like savory spinach and artichoke dip bread bowl to the wide variety of steaks, chops and seafood dishes, the cowboy-sized portions can easily feed an entire herd. Skirt steak…

Sad service and cold food
by Cocobilli
My girlfriend and I went on a week night to try another Gaslamp restaurant that we might recommend to our out of town visitors. The restaurant was probably 1/4 full. We had to wait for 15 minutes for a table. We barely saw our server, our food was served cold and was barely editable. As a friend of mine once stated, "it might not be very good but at least it took a LOOOOONG time. In short, this is not one of the restaurants we will be recommending to anyone.
- Pros: NONE!
- Cons: Service, food quality, ambience, promptness

Steak with a flare...
by aries162
I love Dakota's! This restaurant is in a great location, is beautiful inside, and has great food! When you walk in the friendly chefs greet you from behind flaming pots and great smelling sauces as you walk right past the cooking action. You can either go upstairs to the bar for a drink or sit downstairs in the very comfortable dining room. The skirt steak is my fav, it has a southwestern flare that is topped off with a grilled scallion, and the creme brulee trio is a heavenly dessert. Try it!
- Pros: unique restaurant layout is fun and interesting, great food! and a good bar
The Details on Dakota's
What to Drink:
Specialty cocktails pack as much punch as the heavy, satisfying menu. Try the Dakotas Cosmo.
Where to Sit:
Ask for a seat on the left side of the mezzanine for a perfect view of the open kitchen below. Or choose the right side for proximity to the wine cellar.
When to Go:
On Monday nights prime rib with salad and dessert is a steal at just $22.99
Save Money:
For all the downtown dwellers, look for the Cohn Card in your local phone book for a two-for-one entree coupon at all the Cohn Restauarnts in the 92101.
