    Montreal burger

    Loved the vibe and the food. Service was great. But me and my husband had to walk 16 minutes across gateway park from the gateway parking garage just to get to it.

    Spinach and Artichoke Dip
    Dorothy B.

    Sat outside for lunch and it was not a pleasant experience. Flys everywhere I could barely eat. I got the spinach artichoke dip. It was just ok and the sweet potato hash bowl with fried chicken. The fried chicken was hard and overcooked with no flavor. I wouldn't recommend the fried chicken at all. The dish didn't come together at all, too much going on.

    Caveman Hash
    Victoria R.

    Enjoyed a casual brunch at Dakota Blue and it did not disappoint. The server was a tad slow greeting us with menus and water however when they were ready for us they were kind, helpful and attentive! For food I enjoyed the Caveman Hash which was fresh with sweet sweet potatoes, avocado, black beans, scrambled egg (instead of fried) and had a punchy mimosa. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their southern chicken biscuits and tried & trues. Will definitely be back f

    Chicken Southern Chix Sliders Basket
    Rachel W.

    Pretty mid place - I've taken out from here twice: first time I got the chicken burrito; this time I got the chicken sliders. I will say the sliders were pretty tasty but the portion is far smaller than the burrito (the burrito is massive btw), even though the sliders are $1 more than the burrito. It's still pretty cost effective though since both items come with a side. I usually get tots since not many places offer that as a side and I love tots, but again, pretty mid tots - they're usually a bit overfried. I'd say come here for a cost effective meal but don't expect to be amazed

    The prices are so good at Dakota Blue, I strongly suspect they may own the building. Five stars because of the excellent value here. Sometimes you want to grab some munchies without posing for your hipster friends or your Yelp account. A little neighborhood vibe may be just the thing for days like this. I've got little kids, so unless it's date night, it's better for the food to be fun and uncomplicated. DB is in the northwest corner of Grant Park, in a building that looks a lot like an old-timey Masonic lodge. It's across the street from Grant Central Pizza, with maybe four or five outdoor tables and a decent size dining room away from the bar. We sat outside and ordered up some bar food. There's a little southwestiness to the menu, with a quesadilla here, a burrito there. I got the fish tacos, which came out on corn tortillas, topped with a cabbage slaw that smelled faintly of sesame oil. Kids got grilled cheese. So, the fish tacos were really something. They were a little crispy and the slaw provided just enough crunch. I've had fish tacos before where the coarseness of the slaw is not managed properly. Not here! Added some hot sauce between bites and enjoyed it all thoroughly. Will order these tacos again. In a town where four people can't get a sit down meal for less than $60 bucks most days, we paid a cool $37.00 (no alcohol). Sweet deal!

    Fives across the board…read more Casi Cielo is incredible. The space is warm and beautiful without trying too hard, and the crowd was hip and well dressed. Definitely a place to be seen and eat well. There's a parking garage but it was full when we got there, so we did valet, which was surprisingly affordable. Service was wonderful. Our server was attentive, helpful, and super knowledgeable about the menu. As for the food, we got: Aguachile de Pescado, which was insane. Super fresh, bright, citrusy, ceviche-like with perfect texture. I would go back just for that. The Hamachi was clean and bright. That avocado sauce tied everything together and gave it some depth without overpowering the fish. The Pork Belly Tostadas were crispy and rich with that smooth avocado mousse and sweet mango salsa balancing it out perfectly. Finally, the bone marrow with steak... so good. I had seen pictures of it before I came and it did not disappoint. The steak was incredibly tender. They bring blue corn tortillas and suggest making a taco with the marrow, steak, and avocado. It's great that way. But honestly, the marrow and steak stand perfectly on their own. Whole experience was excellent. Easily one of my favorite spots in the city now.

    Wanted to love it…read more The vibes are there, the staff is genuinely lovely, and there's real potential here, we just had a bit of an adventure getting through the meal. We had someone in our party with a gluten allergy, and our sweet server was doing his absolute best, bless. We were steered away from the tostadas as a starter due to gluten concerns, so we pivoted to guac...which then arrived with a gluten-free tostada. So the tostadas would have been totally fine! Then a good while after we'd all ordered, she was told her entrée had gluten and needed to be changed. She reordered, and almost immediately, the rest of the table's food came out. So we were left choosing between eating without her or letting everything go cold. And the plantains she'd reordered around, because she'd been told they couldn't be made gluten-free? Turns out they absolutely can be. Just miss after miss there. The spicy margarita was more of a margarita that once passed a jalapeño on the street. I asked for extra jalapeño juice and they were happy to help, but without the seeds and ribs it just couldn't deliver on the heat. I'd skip the margs next visit. This just wasn't quite the relaxed easy dinner we'd hoped for, and the price point feels like it's a step ahead of where the experience currently lands. But I'm rooting for them to get there!
