| There was a time when the term “fine dining” was not used much on the North Shore of New Orleans. That is until Dakota came along. Owner-chef Kim Kringlie uses quality Louisiana ingredients as a starting point in his cooking, and improvises on old standards often with creative interpretations. Seafood beignets come filled with shrimp, crab and crawfish and are finished with lobster crème, for instance, while another menu mainstay is the crab-Brie soup. Red meats range from steaks to lamb, the latter prepared in accordance with the season; in summer, lamb flank steak might come with vegetables and a mint salsa verde. For the finale, consider the white chocolate brownie, another signature item. The wine list offers more than 25 choices in Champagnes and sparkling wines alone. A range of wine-growing regions is represented, with many good value-priced selections. Wines are served in Riedel glassware. The young service staff adds its energy and enthusiasm to the management's good sense of organization. |
