"I brought my mother here for Mother's Day. We both chose the Quiche Lorraine, It was absolutely delicious. It was served with a side salad. Everything was so fresh and tasty! I am never disappointed with the Dakota."

"We were there on a busy night; prom and graduation. Service was OK but not as good as usual. Portions were small. Four scallops for $24! Were they running out of food?"

"We were very happy with the prompt seating, since my grand son's were ready to eat. The menu had a good variety of dishes , plus a few specials.
We were promptly served, and the food was delicious. The server was friendly, but did not check on us much . In her defense it was busy !
The decor is not attractive, but we enjoyed some nice paintings on the wall .
.It was our first visit @the Dakota Grill, being out of town, but my daughter vowed to come again, since she lives in Tucson.

"Ordinarily we have wonderful service and food at Dakota...unfortunately this was not the case the last time we went...it took a while for our drinks, the nachos we ordered as an appetizer came at the end of our meal...and they were not good...not enough cheese...barely any meat...and the chips tasted burnt...my Hangar Steak was tough....I will go back...but probably for lunch....as a birthday dinner I was disappointed."
