Dakoto Formerly Dakota in Pittsfield
From an A to O No
By: - Mar 18th, 2015The Dakota was a popular destination for Pittsfield diners. It closed last summer, underwent extensive renovation, and has reopened as Dakoto.

Most of all we missed that snarling, stuffed bear that amusingly greeted diners. The new decor is spotless but enervating.
