ABOUT DAKOTA’S
Dakota’s was established in 1984 and has been a downtown Dallas dining icon for 30 years. The name Dakota’s
was chosen in homage to the eight million pounds of Dakota mahogany granite that was used throughout the
restaurant and Ross Tower.
Guests ride down to Dakota’s in a canopied glass elevator accessed from street level while viewing the 1,800
square-foot outdoor subterranean courtyard. This cool oasis is complete with a 5-tiered granite water wall, multitiered landscaping, lava rock fire pit and black granite bar. Dakota’s patio has long been considered one of the
city’s most romantic dining spots.
CUISINE
Dakota’s Steakhouse is a true Texas treasure. Our Mid-Western Corn Fed USDA Prime Steaks from Allen
Brothers are hand picked to ensure tenderness. We cook them at 1800 degrees to sear in the natural
flavors. The restaurant also serves fresh seafood such as Salmon, Tuna and Maine lobster tails and
traditional a la cart steakhouse sides including roasted wild mushrooms, a loaded baked potato and
house onion rings. Dakota’s boasts an extensive wine list, created to pair perfectly with the menu.
Dakota’s offers a selection of fresh daily specials, both for lunch and dinner. Lunch includes entrée salads
and sandwiches to accompany the selection of steaks available.
GROUP DINING
Dakota’s unique layout allows the restaurant to accommodate small business lunches, patio cocktail
parties, rehearsal dinners and receptions, large corporate functions and other private events.
Dakota’s offers semi-private, private, outdoor and full restaurant private dining options. Our team of
dedicated professionals will work with you to create your perfect celebration.
For parties greater than 20, we require a set menu which will offer you and your guests the best
selections from our full menu. Each guest will receive a custom menu with menu options and with your
choice of greeting. Wine selections and additional bar options can be specially selected to

Chef Joseph Hoffmaster
started in the industry at
age 17 and has been in it
for 13 years. He worked at
casual family dining places
to get started, and after a
few years he was opening
kitchens throughout the
southwest. After earning
his culinary degree, he moved on to work briefly at
Culpepper’s and then began to work for the Magnolia
Hotel where he worked his way up to Executive Sous Chef
for 5 years. He then left to come to Dakotas as the Sous
Chef for a little over a year before returning to Dakota’s
as the Executive Chef.
Chef Joseph states that the opportunity to become the
Executive Chef at a 4 star steakhouse has given him the
chance to put himself on a plate, which is why he returned
to Dakota’s.
