The Scene – This beautifully converted gas station is just a shade removed from the boutiques of Virginia-Highland. Inside the intimate quarters, flattering lighting, draped fabric and tropical plants soften the whitewashed brick, black-and-white photographs and tiny, metal-clad bar. The patio--illuminated by the changing jewel-tone patterns of fiberglass flying buttresses--dresses up outdoor dining. Service is assured and witty. – – The Food – Dish puts an emphasis on style without sacrificing quality. The combination of flavors in the rosemary pine nut popcorn is on…

pristine food and service
by thesaur
I have used citysearch for years and have never written a review until now. Dish was unbelievable. The ambiance is dim, but not dark. The food is delicious. Loved the duck tacos, pass on the crab cakes. Drinks are great and very strong. The skate wing was suberb. Loved it, can't wait to go back.
- Pros: drinks, fish, parking lot
- Cons: crowded tables

Still my Favorite
by hanafi_p
After we ventured to try vine on Monday and having such a disappointing experience, we headed to our consistent favorite to enjoy some of chef Sherri's tastes. Not wanting a heavy meal on a warm night relaxing on Dish's great patio, we started with some Rosemary Popcorn with a couple of cocktails, then we did some wine pairings from their excellent by the glass list, that is very fairly priced, with the Asian Shrimp Lollipops, and the Mini Crab Cakes with Mango Salsa. What a wonderful relaxing evening. Dish has always been our favorite in the Highlands and Chef Sherri keeps her menu current with very creative selectings that are perfect for every season. Not to knock Vine further, but their new spring menu we tried was really a disappointment with heavy dishes like a pork chop, deep fried crab fritters and tough skirt steak which are more fall or winter items than spring/summer when you want light and flavorful.
- Pros: Fun creative dishes, great patio
- Cons: have to pay for parking

Great Atmosphere and Food
by tbclark
Dish is one of those places that as you pull up you can tell it is going to be cool place given its architecture, sign, etc. Sometimes, you get a place that is "too cool" but I am happy to report that is not the case here. We arrived a few minutes early and found a nice spot at the bar before being shown our table. Our main waiter was a little stiff but the enthusiasm and personality of Sheri Davis (owner/chef) warmed up the whole place. The food was amazing - modern twists on some familiar items done in a way that came across at just plain good - not too complex and "fancy." We had the crab fritter and calamari salad which both had great crisp but the focus remained on the seafood. Also the cheese tray with local cheeses - simple but excellent. While the free form lobster lasagna tempted us, we both went with the porcini encrusted filet - an interesting preparation that worked very well. One slight downside is that due to the preparation it may be a little difficult to get it cooked to the right doneness on first try - we had to send one back. 3 minutes later we were both enjoying. Bottom line - cannot wait to get back to Atlanta to visit Sheri and try out the rest of the menu.
- Pros: Atmosphere, Food

Good Food
by pawlover
Was too hot to sit on the patio friday night (our favorite spot), so we settled in to an inside table. The food was very good and well done. The tomato and fried mozz tower is very good and an interesting twist on a common item. We enjoyed everything else and maybe because we bought an expensive wine, the server bought us dessert which we thought was very nice. Our only complaint is their chairs are not comfortable and it is hard to enjoy your dinner in such uncomfortable chairs. The interior is a bit cold from an appearance standpoint, but I guess it is the look they are after and fits their eclectic style.
- Pros: Some interesting well done dishes
- Cons: chairs uncomfortable, interior look
