Editorial Review for Dakota at the Roosevelt Hotel – by Tara de Lis
The Scene
Anchored by wood-boxed, backlit columns, Dodd Mitchell's signature design elements dominate this chic steakhouse: Comfortable milk-chocolate brown suede chairs are positioned against medieval black leather tabletops and slick benches, forming clean lines throughout the restaurant. A mix of professionally dressed servers, from young actors to more experienced international staffers, offer steak and sauce pairing advice to hungry hipsters, industry honchos and curious hotel guests.
The Food
Husband and wife restaurateur team Tim and Liza Goodell (Aubuergine, Meson G) have successfully crafted a stellar standout in L.A.'s surge of trendy steakhouses. Deconstructed Caesar salad includes crisp romaine, quality Parmesan shavings and out-of-this-world sourdough croutons. Steaks are the specialty, and offer the best entree experience, with precise temperatures and refined presentations. Decadent rib-eye practically melts in blue cheese topping, and filet mignon goes great with the bearnaise. Sides are universally spectacular, from skillet-stacked giant onion rings and crispy au gratin potatoes to wonderfully creamy spinach.

The new team at Dakota has turned the place around. I eat there about three times a month the bartenders are amazing the servers friendly however sometimes a little pushy but non the less the food has been consistant and delicious. Seasoned perfectly and served hot! Great Job.
Pros: Ambience, Quality of product used

I eat at Dakota quite often; in fact, almost once a month. However, this is the first time I have been compelled to write a review. The food is fantastic and the service is equally as good. I feel sad for the guest who felt that his/her server was pushy and snobby. The guest was obviously just having a bad day and went in with a chip on the shoulder because anyone who frequently dines at steakhouses would know how to spell bearnaise. Anyway, I always find the service to be consistently top notch and almost comparable to NY service, not exactly but close compared to most Los Angeles restaurants. My most recent visit was last week. After being in New York on business for 10 days I just wanted to come home, relax, and have Dakota. I started with the Heirloom Tomato salad with watermelon and fromage blanc, which was incredible. As always the Ribeye was FANTASTIC, however the server suggested combining the, ahem, Bearnaise sauce with the Red Wine Bordelaise, another OUTSTANDING suggestion from him. He was very informative, knowledgeable, and charming as well. I had never tried the Fingerling potatoes before but he assured me I would enjoy them and I did. I skipped dessert and opted for an espresso instead since I still had work to finish up. The only quam I had was that my espresso arrived in a coffee cup and not a demitasse cup. The server personally apologized for the coffee cup letting me know that he searched all over the building for one and even promised to bring his own the next time I eat there, which made me smile and remember why I enjoy Dakota so much.
Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere, Lighting, Design
Cons: Music, Broken Tables
