We had a great time at Dish, the service was friendly and efficient, the food was really tasty with generous portions. The grilled pork chop with buttermilk gravy was sooo delicious and that molten cake ... awesome!!!

We were dishless for the first hour.The service is terrible and the food is not worth the wait. We felt everything was salty.We had the meatloaf which was ok at best and the porkchop that was saved by the gravy.The greens look more like garnish then true greens. The sweet potato gratin was good and the deserts were the only thing worth our almost 3hr dining experience.

I really liked this restaurant. Everything about it made me and my 6 dinner dates very happy. You know sometimes large parties go a bit unappreciated, but we were treated well by all who served us. We were fed well, the menu is FUN, creative and the food was oh so tasty. We drank well maybe a bit to much, (birthday party) but we were merry. Their cocktail menu was fun and tasty too... great lemon drops. You should go.

I dined here recently and had a fantastic time. We had a great pitcher of Sangria (best in the city!), the Goat Cheese Souffle app, and two entrees. The pork chop with gravy was the best pork chop I've ever had, the greens were out of this world, and sweet potato side dish was unlike anything I've ever had. A must try! I'm going to try Brunch next!

All eight of our entrees came out lukewarm. What, no microwave? Truly awful....

The food is ok and the menu is fun, but sadly, the service was so bad that it ruined the experience. The waitstaff ignored us at points and then acted as though it was doing us a favor by serving us.

I went to dish on the recommendation of a friend who had been raving since it opened and I am "hooked". The food was excellent, everytime I go I get the same dish, hence, hooked on the house-smoked chicken the nutty sauteed greens and the horseradish beets. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed, the service was great, our server was attentive and knowledgable. Plus it's such a great value, it seemed like we ate and ate and 2 of us left and spent under $50. bucks.

This should definitely be in the next New York Best Places for Under $25. Perry's $14.50 "main and two sides" can't be beat. Where else can you get rich braised lamb for under $20? And they've got ginger beer to boot. This is where I choose to "craft" my food.

Horrible. I wouldn't recommend this place. The food was very greasy, the mac and cheese tasted like it was from a box with no seasoning, the corn bread was hard, and absolutely tasteless, the sauted veggies were floating in oil and butter. This restaurant does NOT deserve to even be in the same sentence as CRAFT, let alone be called the "poor man's Craft". There is no comparison at all.
