[Dakota's Steakhouse - Restaurant Review
The slow descent in a glass elevator is the first indication that the experience at Dakota’s is going to be unique. The subterranean restaurant sits 18 feet below street level, with a layout that includes a recessed patio surrounded by cascading waterfalls, a fire pit, and a granite bar. Inside, French doors let in natural light, while art-deco accents and bistro-style furniture create an elegant, dreamy setting. The menu showcases premium steak and seafood, with an extensive selection of dry-aged Midwestern corn-fed USDA Prime steaks as well as premium meats including Berkshire pork, Colorado Lamb, and Scottish Salmon.

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen
Address: 3520 Oak Lawn Ave., Dallas, TX 75219 (Map)
Perhaps only overshadowed by the epic tale and character for which the restaurant is named, Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen sources its menu with the bounties of the seas. Visitors may be humored by the story of C.H. Pappadeaux riding the backs of giant fish, but they’re ultimately won over by the impressive catches they get to sample for themselves. Bite down on some genuine Southern fare and savor authentic treats like Fried Frog Legs, “Louisiana” Shrimp Gumbo, and Filet Mignon Oscar. A fine list of Chef Selections rounds out the dinner menu nicely, while the lengthy lunch menu encourages diners to spend some quality time with their favorites before the sun sets on the South.

Cadot Restaurant
Address: 18111 Preston Rd., Dallas, TX 75252 (Map)
“New American Cuisine with a French influence” is what Cadot chefs Jean-Marie Cadot and Gaspar Stantic promise to the customers of the quaint restaurant. With unique dishes like Butterflied Trout with a pistachio and mushroom white wine sauce, that’s exactly what they deliver. Owner Jean-Marie Cadot has a family restaurant history dating back to 1758 and he himself has been learning to cook since the age of eight, experience that shows through in their time-honored menu. The food is highlighted by the layout of the restaurant that includes four spacious, adjoining rooms with a table arrangement that encourages intimate conversation. The food, restaurant arrangement, and atmosphere combine to provide a dining experience hard to find outside of France.

Pyramid Restaurant and Bar
Address: 1717 N. Akard St., Dallas, TX 75201 (Map)
Executive Chef J.W. Foster has taken Tex-Mex cuisine to the next level with Pyramid Restaurant and Bar. With a AAA Four Diamond Award under its belt, Pyramid strives to give each patron a truly memorable eating experience. Using herbs and vegetables grown in the restaurant’s 2,000 square foot rooftop terrace gardens, Foster creates dishes that are reminiscent of their southern origin, but strikingly imaginative in their execution. Welcome the day with the Oatmeal Brulee, a bowl of cinnamon oatmeal with banana and soft brown sugar, or take a break from the lunch-hour grind with the Canadian Lobster Mac and Cheese made with local aged white cheddar and a lemon-thyme cornbread crust. The Wagu Striploin, served with sweet potato and onion gratin and a cabernet-rosemary pan jus might just be the trick to easing into the evening.
