Win a dinner for two at Dakota Bridge

Where can you savor your filet mignon in the jasmine-scented night air, seated just yards above an azure swimming pool around which young beautiful things are sipping wines several years older than they are? At Dakota Bridge, Hollywood's newest dining destination.
Essentially an extension of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel’s Dakota steak house, Dakota Bridge offers a semi-private dining experience that overlooks the hotel's Tropicana Bar and its David Hockney pool. Dakota Bridge can accommodate intimate dinners, from two to forty guests, by reservation, and all diners are guaranteed entry to the Tropicana Bar.
Tim Goodell, president/executive chef of Domaine Restaurants is calling the new venture a "pure, one-of-a-kind Hollywood experience,” and just last week, the restaurant popped its celeb cherry, when fashion designer Charlotte Ronson hosted a private dinner party there for family and friends (including her buddies Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie) to celebrate her Fall '08 collection.
Dakota Bridge is gifting one Stylephile reader a delicious dinner for two—to win just tell us this: If you were dining at Dakota Bridge, what would you hope to see happening down below at the Tropicana Bar?
Leave your answers in the comments section of this post, making sure to leave your email address. Deadline is Tuesday April 6.
Dining hours for the Dakota Bridge are Sunday – Wednesday 6-10:30 pm for larger groups; individual reservations are available Thurs 6-10:30 pm; Fri and Sat 6-11 pm. Reservations are required (323) 466-7000.

I'd like to see the ghost of Marilyn Monroe, who supposedly haunts the hotel, stride up to Lindsay Lohan hanging at the bar with her peeps, spin her around and slap her face for impersonating her so badly in New York magazine!

It would be absolutely fabulous to see the remnants of old Hollywood mixing with the vanguard of new Hollywood, especially considering the Roosevelt's colorful history. I would love to see the ghosts of the glamorous stars of old, like Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable, cavorting with the likes of Paris and Nicole. The night's most shocking moment? Judy Garland doing a line with Lindsay Lohan in plain view. thy.bui@gmail.com

As my Mother and I are dinning, we would over look the bridge and see Warren Buffet , Naomi Campbell and Gisele Bundchen doing a table dance. After careful observation, I would laugh at the fact that my 65 year old Mom would be out by the pool giving lesson on how to do the Super Man … So she could work off her dinner... Capun1@yahoo.com

I''d like to see Britney & Kevin having dinner together, in deep discussion about getting back together and raising their children under one roof. Frankly, I do get the sense they''re better off together than they are apart, and can transcend their current situations if they tried working it out. girljoyelle@yahoo.com

Of course, George Michael hanging out. He's knows all about (club) Tropicana ;) "Let me take you to the place where membership's a smiling face Brush shoulders with the stars. Where strangers take you by the hand and welcome you to Wonderland From beneath their panamas. Club Tropicana drinks are free" Wham: Club Tropicana stevio_1@yahoo.com

I would love to see none other than Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama sharing a drink, having a few laughs, and agreeing to come together for the sake of our country. Maybe they would have some sort of drinking contest to see who gets to be president and who gets to be vice president! Indiajain@aol.com

My friends drinking & lounging by the pool waiting with drinks to hear how fabulous dinner was and wish me a Happy Birthday!

The paps have dubbed us "Jan-Lin," as we are the newest power couple to run the gauntlet out front of the Roosevelt. Now safely ensconced we toast to being inside the rope and gaze down upon Lindsay french kissing her little butch dj as the dancing gets hot. We swear never to tell...just txt the pix and deny everything. caewing@grey.com

As my date and I are finishing our wonderful dinner and the stars twinkle above. We both concur that Dakota Bridge is our favorite new place. Suddenly down below at the Tropicana Bar, the bartendar motions that two great seats are opening just for us. But another couple walks up, but security informs them that the seats are already taken. And just as we sit, our newly refreshed drinks arrives perfectly. My girl smiles and I know only Dakota Bridge and the Tropicana Bar could have made this special night perfect.

As OK GO plays poolside at a fundraising party featuring a who's who of Hollywood's A-list film, music and television stars, a fantastic synchronized swimming routine is performed in the pool to rival the most incredible Esther Williams extravaganza. Cool sounds, star power, and amazing eye candy, all to benefit environmental awareness initiatives.

I would love to see two of the chairs open so that after my amazing filet mignon, my girlfriend and I could lie back, enjoy a drink, and let the entertainment begin. And 20 min. later go dance our steaks off...

I'm so fed up with the personal attacks in the Democratic primary campaign that I'd like to see both Hillary Clkinton and Barack Obama thrown into the pool fully clothed. stufalk@ca.rr.com
