I have been here several times over the past few years, with family, friends, for drinks, and for Valentine's Day. It is always a great meal, service is great, and never leave there disappointed.

After having drinks and appetizers at Dish a few times, we decided to stay for dinner on this last visit. We were already in the bar so we decided to stay there to eat. The bar area has plenty of comfortable seating options. For apps we had jumbo shrimp (good) and wings (very good). One bit of advice about the... More

Food was excellent and with a large group of 14, it can be difficult to keep it all together. The staff at The Dish did a great job keeping everyone happy. My trio of Tuna was SUPERB! and everyone else raved about their dishes as well.

I had some colleagues take me to Dish for a business dinner and everything was great. The food was unique and delicious, the service was attentive, but unobtrusive and the atmosphere was decent considering we were eating at 6pm on a Tuesday and there were no events going on downtown. We had oysters, pork belly tacos which were great. The... More

Good food with great portions. The only thing memorable was that I asked for a brandy and got a scotch!! Not cheap but a nice place to visit. Ambiance on a busy night was good also.

I ate here on 3/21/2013. Service was very slow, water glasses were empty more than full, my steak was luke-cold when served, and the waiter added two extra glasses of wine to our bill. I would avoid this place! Terrible experience!

It was a busy Saturday night and we could not get a reservation at some of the other upscale restuarants in Hartford so we decided to try Dish (they have very easy on-line reservations). We were happy we did. The ambience was great - even though they were full, the noise level was fine and we didn't feel packed in... More

This place is awesome for late nights. We sat at the bar since there were no tables available. And I'm glad we did. We got speedy and friendly service from the bartender. We ate the Jersey Shore Clams which were buttery and spicy. Just like we like em. We also had the calamari which went great with the sauce. They... More

I was here with a group from work recently. Due to an even at the convention center they were completely booked up & we had to go for a very early dinner at 5:00... so call ahead to make reservations otherwise you may not be able to get a table. The service was very good & the waitress was knowledgeable... More
