Dish is a new kind of restaurant that offers the quality and creativity of higher priced restaurants, with the value and comfort of a neighborhood coffee shop. We focus on classic American food... the kind of recipes you might find in an old Sunset magazine or your grandmother?s cookbooks.
Whether you're on your way to the Descanso Gardens or the Rose Bowl and Pasadena, DISH is the perfect place for a quick bite or a leisurely meal. We're good for families and kid-friendly, too. DISH has a wide array of breakfast, lunch, and dinner offerings, including many familiar items such as pancakes and burgers. You can finish off your meal with desserts such as the famous DISH's Red Velvet cupcake baked fresh everyday by our own pastry chef.
Come in for Happy Hour (M-F, 3-6pm) and check out the full bar and wine selection, too!

on Citysearch Mar 02, 2008We have been going to Dish since it opened. It was really good food the first three years or so, and then it started to decline. The orders take a long time to come out and then the taste falls flat. The menu makes things... (more)

on Yahoo Aug 25, 2007In many ways, mediocrity incarnate: While the food's tasty, it's a bit on the expensive side. Furthermore, the service can be downright terrible; I eventually had a line of things which needed refilling (water,... (more)
