It's be over a year since I've been to Dish (I no longer live in Charlotte); however, I have lots of fond memories of this place.
Dish is located in an edgy, off-beat part of Charlotte, and it fits in perfectly! From the outside you might think that Dish is a simple restaurant with not much flare, but you would be wrong. Once inside you realize that Dish is a colorful place. The staff members have an edge that you would expect from a restaurant in this neighbor. They may not always keep your glass full but they will certainly have style when forgetting to do so.
Choosing what to order is certainly an enjoyable experience. You're presented with several options from a menu filled with delicious comfort food. I recommend the cajun meatloaf. It's your mama's meatloaf with an extra kick! Everything's reasonably priced so your wallet won't feel restricted in the slightest.
The atmosphere isn't my personal favorite, but it's a look that I know some people appreciate. And as I mentioned, everything about this restaurant is in harmony with the surrounding neighborhood. The crowd that's usually found here is fun and down-to-earth. It can get pretty busy on the weekends, but the wait is never long.
If you're looking for a restaurant to take your friends from out of town, Dish is a good option. Your friends won't be wow'd; however, they'll leave feeling satisfied.
