Dish Restaurant

It was a nice little restaurant in appearance. The first was good, the food was... OK. They over cooked my Pork Chop and the accompanying sauce (apple and cream sauce) tasted like plastic. I don't know if it's just what they stored in or if was just me being picky but it did detract from the dish. The Apple Fritter served alongside was amazing though. Can't say it was anything special, desserts were way over priced, the menu was also a little overpriced given what you got.

I always give a restaurant at least TWO chances before writing a review. A great experience the first time has me excited to return. A mediocre experience has me hoping thatnit was a fluke and I caught them on an off day. Well, Dish was given three opportunities to impress, and failed miserably. Why three chances?  I was ready to write them off after two, but a friend had read the reviews on Yelp and wanted to go, so we went. On two of my dining occasions, We had servers who appeared as if they would have preferred to be undergoing a root canal as opposed to working.  We were served our meals and left to our own devices.  No refills on beverages. No "how is everything."

I had fish on one occasion, and it was not cooked right. On another occasion, I had poultry, and it was way overpriced for what was served.  

I have only dined here at dinner, so people's lunch experiences are going to be different. I paid $20 for an entree, $10 for appetizers, etc. I expect stellar service and food for those prices. Had I paid $8.50 as one five star reviewer did, then my review would be completely different.

Bottom line:  service and food were lacking. I would look elsewhere.

We returned to Dish last night having been away for a couple of years due to a bad experience. Pleasantly surprised! It wasn't a perfect dining experience but, this is what was good.  Appetizer was good... Asian lettuce wraps. Dinner was good... sesame chicken & salmon special of the night. Dessert was good.... lemon pot de creme & bread pudding.  Our waitress observed everything and even caught that the lemon dessert was a bit lacking and brought out another portion.  Had to send my chicken dish back due to it being cold and she stood on the line and watched it being reheated in a pan... no microwaves.  The chicken faux pas didn't bother me cause the dish was yummy! We were tended to well (water, bread etc).  This is a much much better choice than Bistro 157 in Valparaiso. We are now sold again on Dish, bravo!
