"My husband, teenage son, and I went to dinner at The Daily Dish on the Tuesday after New Year's Day, which meant that we had a very quiet atmosphere and enjoyed half-price wine with our meal. The waiter was friendly, answered all our questions about the food offerings, and made helpful suggestions. The food was quite excellent. Among us, we had two of the evening's specials - crusted salmon and crab ravioli - and seared scallops and beef sliders, both from the appetizer menu. Every dish was cooked perfectly. We chatted with the chef and found him to be very pleasant. The whole experience was quite nice."

"Been there many times and sometimes food delights; and sometimes food is just okay. THis time was one of the latter. And the service by the waiter was awful. THe bartender was super nice and after i saw my glass of wine just sitting on the bar for about 10 minutes I asked him if he would bring it over. The salmon salad, which I have gotten before was light on the salmon and dressing but after requesting more dressing was better. They don't provide any bread with the meal... but still an okay neighborhood place to go for an informal and usually decent meal"

"We had recently moved into the neighborhood and had a friend visiting from out of town so we wanted to show him around. We had never been to The Daily Dish before but had heard good things and thought we'd give it a try; we weren't disappointed and neither was our friend. The food was great, the prices were reasonable, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere as a whole was friendly, casual, and perfect for our afternoon brunch. We will definitely be going back."

"The food was fantastic, but the service was really shoddy. They were severely understaffed and our waitress barely checked on us at all. She brought out the wrong food twice (I'm not sure if it was her fault or the kitchen's) and it took forever just to get things corrected because we never saw our waitress throughout the night. I would recommend this as a catering company (at least based on the great food) but not as a satisfying dining out experience."

"I have become a regular at Daily Dish. The food is always excellent. The chicken is my favorite, brined, moist, flavorful, with crisp skin. I have tried mot of the dishes on the menu and I am always pleased. The special prix fixe on valentine's day included a choice of short ribs served over grits. It was inventive and delicious. This restaurant is a real asset to this neighborhood."

"Discovered this neighborhood gem recently and now we're making it our Sunday brunch destination. The food was very good. Make-Your-Own-Virgin/Non-Virgin-Bloody-Mary bar a definite fun-plus. Looking forward to trying the whole menu. Additionally the no-rush dining and excellent wait staff made us want to come back for more."

"I returned to the Daily Dish, a neighborhood restaurant, after a very bad service experience there. I had sworn not to go back. Here is the bottom line - the food is very good, the bar is great, fine atmosphere (in a rebuilt garage in a strip mall), but the kitchen is very very slow. How slow? The previous time, it took close to an hour to get our food; no excuses, no comps, no offers of an appetizer. We thought that there had been some mistake in the ordering. This time it took close to 45 minutes. No special orders, just seems like the norm."

"Had dinner with a family member that was visiting from another country and The Daily Dish was perfect for all of the different selections they had on the menu. The wine selection was as diverse as the dinner menu. I enjoyed the fact the we all had different options like French, Italian, or just American comfort food. I enjoyed the wine selection, which was a compliment to the cuisine. I always attend this restaurant, but hesitant to write a review, but now I'm sure I enjoyed their service and their food."
