This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
Dakota is a dark, mysterious looking building, more Gotham than Glasgow, that sits beside the M8 near Motherwell. The interiors too are dark and atmospheric with bold use of black and dark chocolate colours. It has an air of affordable quality about it and if they gave Michelin stars for service, Dakota would have a couple. During the week the hotel’s packed with business travellers and at weekends the locals make full use of the above average, hotel bar and grill. Booking ahead is strongly advised. The menu is a little unadventurous, but has a broad price range from mains at £9.50 through to £29.95. To start, fritto misto is generous and well executed. Classic prawn cocktail has a good sauce covering some smallish prawns. Steaks are a feature of the menu, and a very good piece of Aberdeen Angus fillet comes cooked exactly as requested. Among desserts, a cheesecake with peanut and honeycomb is rich, but lacks a strong cream cheese flavour. Overall, for the service and food on offer, Dakota represents good value for money.
- High point: Service and great steaks
- Low point: Some dissapointing ingredients.
