Dakota Cafe

We come to Ellensburg every year at this time and generally love Dakota. Last year the chef was injured and they tried to cope but it was very slow and not a culinary success. Tonight I asked before ordering if they had someone in the kitchen. They did . The meal was amaturely presented steak was great but the veggies were not cooked even the veggie second attempt was not better.

Basically a sandwich bar with a few tables, not really a serviced cafe. I had a nice Kale salad and a yummy smores bar and my husband had a Chipotle chicken sandwich with a cup of soup. All for 30 dollars so quite reasonable

We had a very nice meal here. The food was excellent as was the service. The wine list was good and the prices on the wine bottles were low compared to what I see elsewhere.

Stopped here on my way to Tacoma for a conference for a quick lunch, and got the Turkey delite sandwich. It was so good! And very reasonably priced. Two thumbs up!

Fantastic Ruben and service with a smile!

Great food, great service, lots of choices. Definitely recommend. It was also art Walk night. Very fun to walk the downtown area before and after our meal.

My diner was fine but my wife ordered a dish with chicken, there was no chicken. They took off the price of her dinner but still....good dessert.

Been coming here for more than twenty years. Still see the same owner taking orders and working in the kitchen, if need be. It's an honest place with honest food and drinks. Who could ask for more?

Fine Dining in a cafe setting! The best shrimp scampi I've ever had so far. Carlos our waiter was great!

Disappointed. For several years we have enjoyed this particular restaurant, but found my meal last night OK. Some veg can be lightly cooked but not potatoes. May give it another try next year.
