| - My experience at Dakota was a really unfortunate one for SO many reasons. For the sake of objectivity, I'll list the good first.
The Good:
Great atmosphere and it's really clean.
The Bad:
The staff isn't friendly... with customers. They're friendly with each other, but as a customer I felt like such an inconvenience to the waitress who was busy flirting with her coworker. Not to mention the service is horrible (but that's because the staff is obviously busy socializing with one another). It took way too long for the waitress to take our orders. She never even asked if we wanted drinks. The food was then super delayed, she rushed to take our plates away but then it took her 20 minutes to bring us our check, and another 20 for her to pick up our payment.
I would love to say the food is just mediocre, but that's being too generous. The fries are really greasy; greasy to the point where I could see pools of oil on my plate. The sandwiches are just okay, nothing special and definitely not worth the $10+ I paid. My biggest complaint about the food is that it's apparently taboo to ask for substitutions. If it's not exactly how it's listed on the menu, you're not getting it. For such a fancy looking place, the menu is just blah. Dissappointing.
I want to like this place, I really do, but I think they spent too much time making this place LOOK like a great establishment and not enough time focusing on the fundamentals of a good restaurant. Train your employees, add some integrity to your menu, and then maybe you can be deserving of more than one star.
