    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!

    My family had another great experience and we were lucky enough to have the same waiter. It’s sad to know this place is going away in February.

    This is our second time going to Montage and it has always been amazing. We went to celebrate our anniversary and we appreciate all the great quality of service which makes us feel special in celebrating our moment. Food was excellent from appetizer to dessert and even drinks. Our favorite is the half roasted chicken. We will for sure go back again.

    Midnight Rambler is a great place for inventive cocktails in a classy throwback ambiance. I wasn't overwhelmingly pleased with the food, especially for the price, but if you're in downtown Dallas, this is the place to stop for upscale drinks.
