THE SCOOP ON DISH
The 'look' of DISH is open, chic, sleek and inviting at the same time! Even though one would think Dallas has done everything by now, this new restaurant has a fresh vibe. People are interesting even if not dressed in much besides black, but the black is anything but basic!
But this is about the food...
Flatbreads, starters, salads, 'main plates', sides, sandwiches and burgers, desserts...the first three categories being ample enough to share. Chef Brian Sommers offers almost everything 'gluten free'...crab dip and the five cheese orecchiette being notable exceptions. Burgers can be bun-less without sacrificing taste. If you can judge a restaurant by the simplest dish on the menu, DISH has a lock on fresh, light, perfection. Fran's Texas Free Range Roasted Chicken is outstanding...moist free range chicken half with a perfectly crisped skin, served in a light broth with pearl onions, olives, and French green beans.
IF NOT FOWL, THEN WHAT?
Smothered Pork Chop is a beautiful presentation with a stuffing of apple wood bacon, pearl onions and sweet apple on a bed of sauteed arugula. Heaven! Short Ribs are supposed to be fall-off-the-bone good. The Arugula Salad is enough for three with pulled salmon, tomatoes, almonds, cranberries and feta cheese lightly dressed in a citrus vinaigrette. Though not gluten free, the Lemon Ice Box Pie with Toasted Meringue is wonderful...just don't eat the crust!
The service is friendly without being obtrusive. GM Shawn Horne has made that his signature. It works!
Brunch on Saturday and Sunday...a great patio area...well priced, not pricey...great ambience!
