"One of my all time favorites in Hartford for a great dinner. The food is to die for and very unique. Not the same old-same old that all the other stablishments serve. Interesting new dishes or staples with a new twist. Superb and unique drinks. 5 star service every time. I recommend it to everyone!"

"Great food (We practically licked our plates)! Great service (Our waiter was efficient, knowledgeable, and attentive without being annoying)! A welcoming vibe from everyone! And open on Sunday for those of us who actually do venture into the city on a Sunday for theater or other events. What more can you ask for?"

"Dish was an excellent choice for our special occasion meal, pre-theater. Service was attentive and knowledgeable about the food and wine. Portions were generous and delicious. I always look for use of local and seasonal ingredients and some were listed on the menu and used. Only criticism is that the wine list should include at least 3 CT wines; there are some very good ones, a white, red, and dessert should be available. If you are farm to table, offer local wine. Server made every effort to get us out in time for the theater, which was appreciated. An extra complementary sparking wine was provided to acknowledge our special occasion. Very thoughtful and classy. One of the best meals we have had in Hartford, a must try!"

"In preparation for my stay in Hartford, I booked this restaurant based on recommendation from a colleague. She described it as comfort food. Yes the food made me feel good but it was way too elegant to be merely called "comfort food." I loved the farm to table premise combined with the presentation, great service and attractive ambience. My companion had the lemon cod , wedge salad and fruit crisp and I had the mixed green salad, stuffed shrimp and candy bar dessert. All was delicious and fresh. I was so impressed."

"We went to DISH for light fare before the theater; it was quiet and charming.
The food was delicious and not too heavy. We enjoyed dessert which we usually
skip because we are too full. Service is attentive but not intrusive. We saw several
couples at DISH in the theater afterward, so the secret is out!

"We recently had our second evening out at Dish and it was just as good as our first visit there several months ago. Free valet parking, well made cocktails, great wine list and the food is fabulous. Try the tuna trio, you will love it . Not normally dessert eaters, we were enjoying our stay so much that we order a variety of them and shared among the 4 of us. Delicious! This may be our favorite place to eat. And we drive some distance to get into Hartford."

"We had a "going away" dinner for a friend moving out of state at Dish. I worked with the event planner to reserve a large table for 14 people, in the front of the restaurant, in a section we had all to ourselves, which was perfect. We ordered off the regular menu, which always provides for a variety of creative food items. Of course, the chips with the farmhouse cheddar sauce were a popular item, as well as the yummy garlic bread. I tried the heirloom tomato pie, which actually looked like a slice of pie - talk about creative, and delicious, filled with tomatoes and fresh ricotta. Others had stuffed shrimp, cavatelli, and chicken parm, all of which received great reviews. Delicious drinks too - what a great time!"

Just an amazing meal.
Always helpful with special table requests and shifting schedules. Will always call this a fave.

"I went to Dish for my 30th Birthday Dinner with my parents. The food was outstanding! The waiter was very attentive and was always checking in us to make sure we had everything we needed. We were so full we didn't want dessert but the Monday manager Annie brought over the deconstructed chocolate pie with 2 candles because she knew it was my birthday. What service! The whole night was wonderful and it wouldn't have been the same if we went anywhere else."

"I went out for dinner with my parents and grandparents after UConn graduation and was happy to find this chic, delicious slice of Manhattan in downtown Hartford. Their mixture of steakhouse classics and more creative dishes left everyone happy. We thought the kettle chips and cheese sauce were overrated, but the tangy twist on a wedge salad with Russian dressing and radishes was fantastic, and they happily split a "kitchen sink" salad for my grandparents to share. Meat was cooked perfectly, and my mom was over the moon about her three-course lobster prix fixe. Cocktails were a highlight: my girlfriend loved her martini, made with house-infused olive-and-jalapeno vodka. Simpler desserts were best, like the coconut red velvet cake."

"We were looking forward to an evening alone at a special restaurant. The free valet parking was perfect, since it was raining. The staff- friendly and extremely good at their jobs. My husband had the trio of tuna, which was outstanding. I had lamb which couldn't have been better. It is expensive, everything is extra, including bread. We chose the DISH bread, and it was really good! The desserts were really extra-special, and not too big; even you think you're full, you have to get one! The atmosphere was great, modern but comfortable. There was a band playing in the bar area, but it was not too loud, it added to the ambiance. We will definitely go back."

"I read some of the reviews on OpenTable and I decided to try it out with my wife. I must say that the food that was served was horrible. It all seemed that was warmed up in a microwave and gotten from a can and served in a decent plate. Although the waiter was attentive, for the size of the restaurant it wasn't enough service; and it wasn't a busy night. If you're looking for good food this is not the restaurant that you would go to."

"We made reservations at the Dish Bar & Grille for before a play in the same neighborhood. Being a weeknight they were not very busy. We were seated immediately and waitstaff was prompt courteous and engaging. The food seemed to take a little long considering the few number of patrons. My wife had a chicken dish and I had hanger steak. I am a little hard pressed to say the food was really only mediocre. This just may not be our kind of restaurant. High ceilings, stone and steel urban banker chic. A little to pricey for what I call a good value. There was not a single negative aspect, just none that were exceptional."

"Group of 7 of us came in for Administrative Professionals Day. Delightful meal, food and drink were FANTASTIC. Only "negative" was the comments/attitude of the server towards the women in our party. When taking orders, he started with one of the men, who in turn, suggested he start with the ladies in our party. To which the server replied "Oh first they want equal pay, equal rights, and now they want first service?" After that, he referred to the women at the table as "the troublemakers". It made everyone at the table extremely uncomfortable."

"We had a wonderful time at Dish for my birthday celebration. We attend church across the street and had been eyeing the restaurant for some time. The restaurant is classy, the food was fantastic and the service was exceptional. We can't wait to return and have already recommended to friends."

"1/2 price wine bottles makes this place amazing. The food is deliscious and service fantastic. I go here for dinner before a hartford stage show monthly,its great every time. Its great for a date but the lively friendly and open atmosphere, I wouldn't call it romantic."

"We really like Dish. We always get great service and the food is always good. This time, they had a prime rib special which was, as our waitress Annie described, "delicious". I had it with the creamed spinach and it was really great. Annie also recommended a really nice Malbec blend which went perfectly. My wife had the rib eye steak which was almost as good for lunch the next day as it was for dinner. If they run the prime rib special again, I highly recommend it."

"Service was very quick and complete. We were never left wanting for anything, from a refill on a glass of water to another cocktail. Food came quickly, but allowed us ample time to unwind and have a cocktail before dinner. Food was well prepared and hot when delivered to our table. Overall the experience was excellent and I would consider Dish in the future. The only downside was the cost, a little high I felt. Everything from bread to salad to any side dishes were extra. Even Morton's serves bread for the table."

"On a VERY busy night (major sold out basketball game nearby filled the restaurant) Dish performed beautifully.
Three small dishes for me (broccoli rabe with hot sausage, roasted winter vegetables, and perfectly crisp sweet potato fries with two dipping options) gave me plenty of fries to share with my tablemates.
Everyone at the table was pleased with their dinners, and the waiter was charming and efficient."
