 Synopsis

Dish has a Sicilian and southern Italian menu with a superb wine and spirit menu. Michele (Mi-ka-lee) is Sicilian and he knows Italian food. Eating at the bar is no problem but reservations is recommended for the dining room. 

Hours

Opens at 4 pm Monday through Saturday but closed on Sunday. Kitchen opens at 5 PM.

 Happy Hour

 Holiday Closing

Closed during the major holidays

 Beer, Wines & Spirits

They have a good bottle menu of beer as well as ten drafts. They also have an excellent wine & spirit display.

 Food

As I said, Italian but this is not your mother’s Italian restaurant. My choice is the Octopus salad when available but the menu can grab your interest. Look for daily specials.

 Entertainment

Just easy listening tunes from the CD player that won’t shatter your eardrums

From the music to the lighting this bar inspires conversation. Thank god they have no TV here.

 Cigar Smoking

Smoking at the bar is ok but ask the bartender about cigars.

 Cash Problem? Remember no credit cards here.

 Parking

The nearest public parking lot (enforced 24hr/day) is located at South 18 and E Carson streets.  This is about a two-block walk.  You can find street parking nearby and with no meters.  Exercise politeness please since you are in a residential area. Also note many one-way streets. Driving east on Sarah Street is best.
