Dish

Amazing! Three of us decided to dine there and we were blown away. First by the bread and oil, them the chips and salsa, and the antipasto plate. So flavorful. Our entrees were the Basque shrimp, the empanatas and the Italian sandwich. Conversation nearly stopped while we thoroughly enjoyed them. Will definitely return!

Fantastic drinks made by an attentive, social bartender and a great choice of playlists ranging from 70's hits to jazz. The food is handcrafted, fresh and unique seeing as they have a rolling menu based on what is freshest. They are a great late night bar as well, offering engaging events like Mario Cart tournaments, DJ sets, themed parties and more. There are no stairs here to dine or go to the restroom, so it is a wheelchair accessible space. Loved our visits here and are thankful to have a local space that is so adaptable! It transitions seamlessly from a swanky dinner spot to a late night hang out.

| Edit 2/17/24 - my wife and I had an amazing Valentine’s Day dinner..best surf & turf I’ve ever had. Also, the bacon jam on the cheese plate is delightful

The vibe is immaculate, perfect for a glass of wine and light fare before the opera. After trying one taste of the garlic butter for the bread I knew it was on. The empanadas were all gas no brakes..top tier 🤌🏼

We’ll definitely be back, there are several dishes on the menu we want to try.

My wife and I went to Dish for our anniversary last Thursday. It was our first time there and for sure won’t be our last. Every plate of food was delicious and well put together. If you haven’t been don’t hesitate

We decided to stop in at Dish after exploring some of the roof top bars downtown. We were intrigued by their artwork and offering of small plates. We sat at the bar and we’re glad we did ! The bartender was excellent keeping us involved with conversation and even introduced us to one of the local artists! The food was absolutely fabulous, honestly it was 10 times more than what we expected and we’ll be back very soon!

Husband and I dined here for the first time on a Saturday night after making a 5pm reservation a month in advance. We were greeted by attentive and helpful staff, and our waitress (red hair) was able to walk us through the details of the menu and specials. We ordered calamari and chips and salsa to start and were given fresh complimentary bread and roasted-garlic olive oil. All the food came out on mismatched plate ware with some pieces even having chips in the porcelain. I understand the eclectic look they may be going for, but it ended up looking old and careless. Unfortunately, the bread was dough-y in the middle and bland. The calamari was lightly breaded and fried, but also bland in flavor. The chips appeared to be house made but fried either too long or in old oil as they came out very dark, very oily, and very bland as well. The salsa was fresh and tasted vibrant. We ended up asking for salt and were brought a salt shaker filled with flakey salt. It hardly escaped the holes of the shaker, causing us to look ridiculous as we vigorously shook the shaker, begging for salt to grace our food. We soon became uninterested in continuing with the appetizers as the work it took to get a flavorful bite outweighed the reward.

For our mains, we ordered a small plate of meatloaf over truffle mashed potatoes with morel mushrooms and a large plate of black sea bass and escargot served over a bed of purple rice and 4 asparagus stalks dressed with a butter sauce. Sounds amazing right? It could have been. But again, salt was severely missing. At this point, it sounds like we have a sodium deficiency with our salt complaints. But the reality is that salt helps to elevate the flavor of the ingredients, and that’s why it was a shame to make such spectacular ingredients taste one-note. The butter sauce on the sea bass dish in particular came out oily rather than rich. Our bill came out to about $75 including tip, which was fine because we came with the goal of tasting a ton of dishes using expensive ingredients. But paying $75 to have to salt my own food is just disgraceful and disappointing. Will not be returning unfortunately…

Absolutely fantastic experience. Great quality food and drink for a very reasonable price. My partner and I only stayed 2 nights in Lynchburg, and we wound up here both nights, we had such a good experience. Friendly bartenders that take the time to make excellent drinks, interesting food specials, a really eclectic art vibe...just loved it!
