| - It was going to be a full few days of eating, so when I found out I was to be eating at Dakota, I knew I needed to look on the lighter side of things. Oh sure, there are sandwiches and items of greater heft, weight, and girth; but even I know my limitations and knew that a chopped salad would hit the spot for lunch.
I wasn't wrong. Although -- and mark this as a positive spin -- the salad portion was actually much larger than I thought it would be. So in the end, having the Dakota Chopped Salad was both just what I wanted, and also so much food that I ended up eating the whole thing and feeling quite full. I guess I could have stopped eating, but c'mon, I'm only human. You dangle that much lettuce, with tomato, avocado, corn, feta, and other fixins in front of me and I'm going to clean the plate right up.
It's a solid lunch option, and were I to call the area home I imagine it would find some place in my rotation. The atmosphere is fresh and new, with a little twist of old school (but not gimmicky) and I quite liked it. It seemed to be a hoppin' at the lunch hour, so I would guess you need to be on top of the ordering game and plan your lunchtime accordingly.
