Our cuisine is influenced by the flavorful Creole cuisine, with Contemporary Louisiana; with influences of the Southwest, California, and Asia on the foods of Louisiana using fresh local and seasonal ingredients. Signature dishes include Lump Crabmeat and Brie Soup, Seafood Stuffed Soft Shell Crab, Duck and Waffles, Coconut Cake with Creme Anglaise. The carefully selected wines pay tribute to the

well-crafted wines of the US while offering traditional stylings Europe and Australia. The Dakota continues to set the mark for what people look for when they dine—well crafted food, detail-oriented service, cozy surroundings, and genuine hospitality.
