Carmille Lefere :: ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER
Hailing from the Big Sky State and the small town where “ A River Runs Through It,” Camille Lefere is no stranger to the service industry. That is, the one that serves family, friends and strangers from the back of a truck or off a campfire stick. When this small town girl hit the big city, she found that between a full campfire feast and a four-course candlelit dinner there is one common denominator. The satisfaction one feels upon receiving a warm smile for a job well done. For many years now she has dedicated herself to this task. She seeks to create an environment, which will elicit a group of people to get up from a table with a gleam in their eye, a smile on their lips and a belt loop undone because their entrée beckoned for that final bite.


And for a little background, Camille at 14 moved from her home in Montana to Washington D.C. to finish her high school diploma at the esteemed Madeira School for girls. Wisconsin was her next stop where she sought out and successfully completed both her Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and her Bachelor of Arts in Theater Arts and Dance at Beloit College. After finishing her schooling, she migrated to Dallas where after many serving experiences in a variety of fine restaurants, she has happily settled at Dakotas. She has found Dakotas to be a delightful and charming mecca for friends, family, co-workers and lovers alike to enjoy each other’s company in a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere over impeccable cuisine and finely chosen quaffs. With enthusiasm she is committed to ensuring that others will leave feeling the same way.

“A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.”
— Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864
