The Dakota - Covington

Don’t walk, run! This is my new favorite date night place : Tyler made the best espresso martini I’ve ever had in my life! The food was phenomenal! We had the stuffed soft shell crab and the redfish, was so good halfway through my boyfriend and I switched plates! Took everything we had in us not to lick the plates clean! Tyler walked us through the menu with his recommendations of the lobster menu, the lobster Mac and cheese was almost like mama made it! So freaking good! We were fat and happy when we left! Definitely will be back!!

They don't enforce the dress code.If the Southern Hotel sends people over, they should share the dress code! Very good service. Parking is public only and there are many good restaurants now in the same area so it's difficult to park. I liked the modern upscale vibe,but there is high noise level due to no acoustics on ceiling. I noticed that our server felt she had to shout to communicate with her customers. A little pricey but no complaints about the food! Table was ready when we arrived on time for reservation. So happy the Dakota had been in business for so many decades.

Great Restaurant attentive wait staff , Food was exceptional and prepared with flare . Place was romantic atmosphere and very respectful owners. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone. Darrin

Parking is not available on site, but there are no signs or information to make customers aware they can not park on site. Our server was excellent. The hostess could use additional training in customer service. Food was excellent. The crab brie soup is amazing.

This has by far the best southern restaurant interior space in the south. The details are exquisite. Every attention was put into every corner of the restaurant. The contrast of the laid back, charmy vibe of the exterior contrasts to the highly detailed and textured interior. And the food? It's good too. The bone marrow starter was huge. The mussels were amazing. I would definitely go again for drinks or for dinner and drinks.
