Mind-bogglingly horrible experience

by ClariceSmart at Citysearch

We were seated on the patio because there was a private party in the restaurant. We were given a choice of the patio or bar and chose the bar - even though it was HOT outside. We were told there were fans and we should be fine. NOT! There also was apparently something dead somewhere close by as I have never seen so many flies - outside of a garbage dump. I couldn't even eat my food and the waitress said "yes, we've gotten that complaint all evening". The manager couldn't be bothered and it was as if we were asking for for the moon to be seated at the bar afterall. I ordered the salmon salad but who knows what it tasted like with all the flies that were hovering. Are they kidding me?

• Pros: NOTHING
• Cons: inedible food with flies

poor service at Dish

by almon2608 at Citysearch

I made a reservation for 20 people for my birthday and put down a $200 deposit. It was confirmed and the assistant manager was aware that it was for my birthday party. I was running 10 minutes late and before I arrived the assistant manager asked one of my friends to call me and make sure I was coming. They said they could not hold the tables longer than 15 minutes even though the restaurant was almost empty and I had put down money to reserve. Furthermore, my reservation was booked as 7-9, so it should not have been a problem. When I arrived, I was told that they could not serve my birthday cake and acted inconvenienced by being asked to put it in the refrigerator. I did not expect them to serve it, only provide plates and dishes. They finally agreed to put the cake in the refrigerator, but when the cake was served it had obviously not been refrigerated. Also, when my party was seated, they tried to cram everyone into one table to take up less space even though people were still arriving.

After being seated the service was okay and the food was great. However, one of my friends ordered the filet and it was cooked wrong twice. She eventually sent it back and decided not to eat at all. I definitely will not be making any reservations here in the future.

• Pros: food
• Cons: POOR service, unorganized reservations

Amazing Patio!!!!

by Beatrice 204 at Citysearch

Not only is the food great, but the patio (which is climate controlled for those chilly evenings) allows dogs! They have super cute decor making the patio feel like one of those outdoor living spaces in Pottery Barn, but with chic flair and a much more eclectic crowd. My pup drank water from the pink and blue doggy water dishes while I sipped on a Mimos-Ah. We were both feeling completely fabulous and chic. The food is executed with fine precision and the staff is knowledgeable yet friendly. Overall, this is my new go to spot for dining, drinks, and downtime.

• Pros: Best Atmosphere in Dallas!
• Cons: There aren't more locations!

Ultra Cool

by Gregandmore at Citysearch

A group of 6 made Dish our dining spot last night. Very cool decor (for whatever it's worth), nice host at the front door. Our waiter was as dry as they come (though attractive). A friend of mine asked if he could smile and he forced a smile for a second. I ordered the Flat Iron steak medium rare and got a very well done piece of meat, a small piece with a stainless steel cup of french fries. Other's in my group fared much better, at tender and juicy Rosemary Chicken, great burger, very good Sea Scollops, thick and flavorful pork chop. The baby iceberg lettuce salad I got was excellent, sure wish my Flat Iron steak wasn't creamated and dry as a bone.

• Pros: Dog friendly patio
• Cons: food is hit and miss, everything is Al La Carte
