This restaurant is easily the best food around Sandpoint! Busy is always a good sign and we were able to beat the wait at the bar. Gabby was such a pleasant bartender. Her drinks and service was honestly the best I’ve ever had. So funny and on it all night. Definitely coming back and 1000% recommending this outstanding restaurant to all my friends and family
First time visit. Service was excellent, food came out at a nice pace, atmosphere was nice located right on the water, and food was up there with the best food in the area.
What a gem! My server Cliff was polite, helpful and attentive, ensuring my experience was a great one. As for the food, the Portobello Fries were out of this world! The balsamic and garlic glazes worked so well with these fries. I also had the Buttermilk Chicken which was delicious and cooked to perfection. Did I mention the waterfront location - which made for a great vibe. I’ll be back!!!
The dish, hands down one of our absolute favorite restaurants here in sandpoint. We love the staff, Gary the owner, is also very amazing. The food is top-notch, the service is top notch, the atmosphere is breathtaking. I absolutely recommend the dish 100%. We love them
Such a great place for a drink on the patio to watch the sunset. It’s a great environment! Great summer patio. The food is very tasty and often has a fusion element. One of the better wine list in the Sandpoint area.
Ratings are based on local norms not national standard. But we will be driving the 40 miles to this place in the future. Love it!
Just had one of their specials - swordfish with leeeks , smashed potatoes, asparagus and sugar snap peas , 11 out of 10, sooo good. Great job to the chef , and excellent service!
We’ve struggled to find great dining options in the Sandpoint area and Dish knocks it out of the park with great flavor, friendly service AND waterfront dining. There wasn’t a single menu item that we tried that wasn’t perfectly prepared, creative and delicious. We will frequent this place!
