What People Are Saying About Teddy's

Featured Review

Tara Lis

Contributor

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 space. 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. Husband and wife restaurateur team Tim and Liza Goodell have crafted a standout in L.A.'s surge of trendy steakhouses…

Editor's Tips

Fun Fact:
Hang out long enough at the Dakota's trendy bar and you might see a celebrity or two
Where to Sit:
The large booths around the windows provide an ideal vantage point. Middle-of-the-room banquettes are situated so chair-side diners at least get to see half the restaurant.
Know Before You Go:
Dakota Bridge is open Thursday 6-10.30pm for a la carte and Friday and Saturday 6-11.00 a la carte. Sunday- Wednesday open for private parties up to 45 guests. Parking is also validated

value
50.0% positive
  1. The entrees are delicious, but the sides are priced seperately and the drinks are not cheap.
  2. If we wanted an expensive steakhouse, we'd just go to Mastro's, as their portion size and quality are totally legit for the reasonably high prices they charge.
  3. Foix gras is excellent, but not worth the $25 b/c the portion is very very small.
  4. we got our drinks, which were pretty expensive, so not a place to consider having several drinks at unless u dont mind mind the spending.
  5. It was disgusting - the chef should be ashamed of such a horrible entree display for such a ridiculous price.
