"Dish" Red Bank New Jersey


This doesnt have to be a long post. This restaurant was expensive, and the food was good.

It's in a good location, in a cool town, and they're BYOB. I brought a Bourassa Carneros Chardonnay, and that was the gold brick of the evening.

Started with mussels.. they were ok. A tad cool, but they made them for me without garlic so I just ate them. I had the Tuscan Stew for an entree. A whole bunch more mussels, a few pieces of shrimp, and a scallop or two. There might have been a clam in there, nothing popped. It wasnt bad, but I think by the time the two person waitstaff started to rush us (and two other tables) out the door, I had forgotten what I had eaten.

My guest had some sort of pasta. I remember mostly that it was almost $30 and had something to do with strangling a member of the clergy for a name. She picked at it, so did I. Whatever.

Not going back to Dish. There are zillions of other dining options in this town, and if I'm going to spend $100 at a BYOB, you're going to let me sit there until I've closed the deal.

Are you kidding? You may know wine but you don't know food. Maybe a pretentious atmosphere with crappy food suits you better. I have eaten at dish many times, always had a great meal and the prices are on par with all the other restaurants in red bank. The last time I went my girlfriend had strozzopreti and i remember it being 24.00, which is more than reasonable. Also, I love the tuscan stew and if you're going to write a blog about it you should know that there are no scallops. I travel to italy 3 times a year for buisness and their stew is just as good as any I have had there...I am a food and travel writer for a national magazine and it irritates me when bloggers blog irresponsibly, because no one else will listen to them.
