Dear Dakota Team,

I would like to sincerely thank you for the excellent service we received during our event.

The food was absolutely amazing, and the staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional throughout the afternoon. Everything was perfectly organized, which helped make our gathering very special.

We had a wonderful time, and all of our guests enjoyed the experience. Thank you for helping create such a memorable afternoon for our group.

We truly appreciate all your hard work and hospitality, and we look forward to visiting Dakota again in the future.

Kind regards,

Dakota – Where everything just works well.

Great food, wonderful service and a lovely building. The sort of place you leave already thinking about coming again.

All the staff were cheerful, smiling and genuinely helpful. Not the forced “have a nice day” kind, but the sort who actually seem to enjoy being there.

Food and drinks arrived promptly, tasted great, portions were generous and everything felt well put together.

Conclusion: A proper all-rounder. Good atmosphere, good people and good food. I will definitely be back.

Very cool and modern bar and restaurant in the Temple bar neighborhood of Dublin. We stopped here for a drink and really liked this place. They have a huge selection of specialty and handmade cocktails, as well as a food menu. Plenty of options for seating including right up to the bar, smaller tables with comfortable couch seating and high top tables.

Surprisingly great lunch / brunch!

Loved the eggs Royale and the Shakshuka. Coffee was nice, hot chocolate not so much but like in most places.

Staff was really nice, peace was empty ish as we went for lunch on a rainy Saturday, but really good discovery!

My friend and I celebrated our birthdays here yesterday, and we had an amazing experience! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect—everything exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly professional and welcoming. A special shoutout to the lady who looked after our table; she was attentive, caring, and made sure we had everything we needed.

Thank you so much for making our celebration so memorable! We’ll definitely be back.
