| - New Years Eve is probably the second most overrated night to go out of the year, behind Valentine's Day (as well as the mythical Sweetest Day for the Ohioans out there), which means reservations are a necessary for everywhere you go, and expect a price increases across the board. Lucky for me, Dish makes New Years just another day.
With a menu that changes by the day, it seems, you have to be willing to trust in the skills of a chef, and know that you're not looking for old stand by dishes. Between myself, the CFO of my life, and our two friends, we took a bit of a stroll around the menu. Starting with a razor clam and scallops app, while our friends had a quail over a corn fritter. It was all good. Their house bread is fresh and delicious, and great to dip into all of the various sauces you'll run into during the course of a meal.
Due to my sad puppy eyes, I was able to sample all of the food on the table, and I highly recommend their Gnocchi, and the risotto I had made me cry a little. But a good cry. While I enjoyed my Venison Osso Bucco, it could have stood to have a bit more seasoning. The CFO had a seafood risotto, with a huge pieces of calamari, gulf shrimp, and a perfectly cooked piece of tuna.
And what is a meal with out the beverages? If you're in for a cocktail, Dish's Pimm's Cup and Mojito are spot on, and not unreasonably priced, at about $7 and $8 respectively. Speaking of prices, Dish isn't exactly easy on the wallet, with somewhat conservative portion sizes, and entrees costing between $20 and $35, but it's not a backbreaker. You can easily escape with a sub $100 bill for a dinner for two.
Dish is just a great little restaurant. Clean, fun, and not too pretentious. Which is almost as surprising as the food!
