My husband and I tried this place for our anniversary and loved it! For the appetizer we got the sesame brioche with honey butter which tasted like heaven.. sooo good. We got the fried chicken entree and it is actually the best fried chicken I’ve had in Lincoln. The batter was so flavorful and the chicken so juicy, it was perfect. My husband got steak and he loved it! We also got an amazing butter pecan dessert which was so well balanced. The staff were amazing and took time to explain the menu and provide suggestions. Overall it was a great place and I’d definitely visit again!

The best food in Lincoln, no question. Rachel and the kitchen staff are magic. John and the whole service team are knowledgeable, attentive, and fun to spend the evening with. Plan to take in the whole experience from the sharable starters, to beautiful main dishes, and don’t forget dessert. I am not even a dessert person and I am still thinking about the butterscotch. Bring friends. Tell your family. Support this amazing local restaurant because Lincoln is lucky to have it!

This place is hands down the best food I have ever eaten! My bf and I like to try unique foods and try foods that are a bit outside of our “comfort zone.” This place has such interesting combinations of ingredients (I have never seen any of their dishes replicated anywhere else), & although there always seems to be some bizarre food ingredient/combination in the descriptions we would typically say we don’t like, we both have eaten every last speck of food on our plates each time we order! The unique flavors all mesh so well, the plating & presentation is beyond gourmet. We absolutely love this place… and love that we can support local businesses. Lincoln needs more sophisticated food options, & Dish checks all of the boxes! The only downsides for us are: the restaurant is quite small, and seating feels a bit not “private”. Also, sadly, this is more of a “special occasion” place than regular go-to restaurant due to the tab at the end of the night. Pricey but absolutely 1000% worth every penny. A MUST TRY LOCAL RESTSURANT!

Wonderful food! Loved every bite. Our waitress was very professional. The manager checked in with us as well. This is a elegant restaurant. The decor was tasteful and complimented the atmosphere and entire dining experience well. We will definitely be returning. It’s a great place to celebrate in style.

Amazing food and good atmosphere. Servings are small-ish and it’s a little pricey, but it’s well worth the money!! The servers are generally very knowledgeable about the menu, which changes frequently. Ingredients and dishes are fresh and interesting, and the cocktails are always great compliments to the meals.

For an appetizer I had bacon, corn and barley. It was good, a little salty for my taste, but I put salt on almost nothing. So take that for what it’s worth.

My meal was one of the best I have ever had. The mushroom grits dish was a perfect balance of textures and flavors. it was unlike anything I’ve ever had before – and extremely delicious. The server was very kind, thoughtful, and helpful. He offered out party of 6 free appetizers to offset delays. I would highly, highly recommend this restaurant.

My stars will seem contrary to this review. For the last several years Dish has been great and still is.
