Dakota is a great mid-evening sampler with space to burn. Busy at the weekends but even so there's lots of space for group lounging with excellent quick serve bar area/ table service. Another factor in the great South William Street charge to prominence....

Went here early on saturday afternoon. I tend to go here once in a while when I crave chicken wings. At 5 euro a bowl you get a generous portion and they taste really good. Me and my friend also shared the fennel and asparagus salad with goats cheese, which was tasty, but only had three goats cheese balls in it. We were both really disappointed with the chips. They are absolutely HUGE, one chip is nearly the size of a potato. Won't ever get them there again. The service was friendly and relaxed.

First time eating here in a long time and was very pleasantly surprised with the food.Had battered cod and chips which was very tasty and my friend had a burger which he enjoyed. For dessert i had the apple and blackberry crumble and as they were all out of custard it got it foc which was a nice touch. Service was ok had to try and grab the waiters attention on a few occasions and the place wasnt busy at all. Overall enjoyable food and relaxed atmosphere so will return.

I had lunch in Dakota recently and am most impressed with the deal for €7.50. The soup was fresh, homemade & delicious. Chicken wings were spicy, just the way I like them in buffalo sauce. My friends duck breast was huge & well prepared. For all of this to include coffees for the price it is one of the best deals I've come across for a long time. Will be popping in for lunch anytime I am in town from now on!

I came here for the first time with a friend. We were on the look out for a good lunch deal or early bird. We both went for the deal which consisted of the soup which was bacon and cabbage. I really enjoyed this whereas my friend was not a lover of it! Then there was a few options of dishes which proved to much bigger than I anticipated considering it was a lunch menu! My friend had the chicken wings which were beautiful and full of flavour. I had the grilled pita with hummous ans side rocket salad. The hummous was a diappointment, unlike any hummous i had ever tried before. The chunky chips were a hit! and then there was a choice of tea or coffee then also. Very good for your money worth! The waitress although was quite annoying. We wanted to eat in peace without the waitress constantly looking over as if waiting to take everything off our table. Decor and furnishings lovely. Very cosy. Liked overall!

I went to this restaurant with a friend. We where loooking for a good meal deal and we sure did find it. I absoulutley fell for the restaurant it was soooo comfy looking all big chairs and booths all the chairs are totally cushioned. it was such a comfy place that me and my friend where hard pushed to leave! I had the 7.50euro deal. WHich consists of soup, taster plate and tea/coffee. Now i tought the portions would be tiny so i ordered chips which where beyond gorgeus! The best chips ive ever had!! so the portions where actually huge we where soo stuffed when we where leaving. The only problem was the waitress she was somewhat rude. Other then that it was a great meal!

Dakota is one of my fav places. Their food is really tasty. Lovely salads and pasta especially the mushroom ones. Prices are extremely good and the staff is quite friendly. Its a nice place to visit with friends, have your wine and a delicious dish. Definitely recommended :)

Had very nice food and wine here. good choice of wines for 16e each. We had a sauvignon blanc that we all liked. between us we had hummus, these very unusal potato cake things, handcut chips and the indian chicken bites. good value for the portions and it was something nice to go along with a few drinks.

The menu listed here on Menupages is the old menu for dakota, while it was good, the new 5euro plate menu is much better. I had lovely Tuna Spring rolls (fresh tuna!) and these Indian inspired crispy chicken balls. My friend has the prawns and calamari and it was all very enjoyable. Dakota is also great for it's wine prices (a bottle is like 16 euro!). So between 2, you can get a bottle of wine and 2 plates (which is enough really) for 18euro each! That's not bad!
