Dakota has a relaxing atmosphere. You can enjoy a good conversation there. The service is very good and the food is comfortably familiar. The dishes are prepared with care. You won't find greasy fingerprints all over your plate. I've never had a bad meal there and the prices are reasonable for what it is. more

My girlfirend and I had reservations (a necessity on a Saturday night) but our table was not ready.

During a recent Oct. 2005 stay in San Diego, a city I had never visited, my wife and I had dinner at the Dakota Grill on 5th Avenue in the Gaslamp Quarter- We picked this because of many internet references and reviews- It was okay but, considering the vast array of choices in that area, I'm wondering if many other... more
