I always have an amazing time at DISH! The food was spectacular. I got the fried chicken and the feta gnocchi. The sweet potato biscuit that came on the side was insanely delicious! The service was amazing as well!

Some really fun and creative things in the menu! Cocktails and wine were great! We had the special Manhattan off of the menu and a gin and tonic. my husband and I both had a glass of the Italian red blend, which was very smooth and versatile. Would definitely order again. The salmon rillette small plate was really yummy. I could’ve done without the jam, but it could be easily scraped off. I had the butternut squash risotto with Farro and kale. It was very good. It was a bit heavier than I had expected, but lots of protein and grains. My husband had the salmon, which he really liked. Service was a bit slow on a Tuesday night, as there was a show at the Lied that night. But our server was fabulous! Looking forward to returning for the spring/summer menu! my husband and I both had a glass of the Italian red blend, which was very smooth and versatile. Would definitely order again.

This was my first time in Nebraska and my first visit to the restaurant. I was greeted by two hostesses who were absolutely warm and quick to get me seated. The hostess who took me to my seat was knowledgeable about the menu and helped me make my selection. She suggested the Parker House Rolls as a start. I appreciated the chat we had about the menu especially when dining somewhere new. Let’s talk food... the Parker House rolls with hot honey butter? DEEEEELECIOUS. Pillowy, buttery, sweet-and-savory perfection. I could have made a meal out of those alone. But then came the butternut squash and kale farro risotto with oyster mushrooms, caramelized onions, and pecans—an autumnal (but springy too... it was April) dream with a perfect balance of texture and flavor. Earthy, nutty, rich, and comforting. Paired with a crisp glass of white wine, the entire meal was an unexpected highlight of my trip. Now for the service: while my main server was kind and friendly, she seemed a bit... distracted. After my meal arrived, she floated around the room in conversation with other guests and staff, leaving me feeling somewhat forgotten. It may have been a busy shift or just a case of too much social buzz, but a little more attentiveness would have elevated the experience to truly exceptional. Still, the food was phenomenal, the vibe welcoming, and I would absolutely return on another trip. Sometimes a great meal makes up for a few service hiccups, and this one definitely did.

Another fantastic dinner at Dish! Chef’s art of transforming vegetables into such deliciousnesses is so magical that we were fighting over the last bites. Excellent attention to dietary needs/restrictions.
