If you are looking for a good breakfast, you will definitely want
to come to Dish.
Owner Kevin Finch has brought a great family dining experience
to our community. Any selection from the wonderful breakfast
menu will definitely start your day off right! Whether you choose
sausage, an omelet, bacon and eggs, waffles, or even toast and
English muffins, you will immediately notice the quality preparation.
Your toast will be hot because you can toast it yourself, right at
your own table!
In addition to an excellent place for breakfast, families can drop
in for an informal meal of good, basic American cuisine. Dish offers
a great selection of burgers and sandwiches. Extremely popular is
the Dish burger, a half-pound of certified Black Angus ground
round, served on a La Brea Bakery sesame bun with pickle, tomato
and red onion on the side. The Dish classic BLT is a great choice
and you can add avocado for an extra touch. I also liked the Dish
Cobb melt with sliced turkey (the real roasted turkey breast — not
the deli type) bacon, melted blue cheese, tomatoes and lettuce on
grilled sourdough bread. Other great sandwiches are the beef brisket
melt or the barbecued pulled pork. Both are hearty and delicious.
Salads are always a good choice at Dish. The traditional Caesar
salad is classic. The ginger chicken salad features fresh oranges,
crispy noodles, sliced almonds, julienne carrots, cilantro and spicy
mixed greens topped with a ginger sesame dressing. The Ojai chicken
salad combines grilled chicken breast with avocado, fresh orange
and ruby grapefruit sections with baby greens and lovely citrus
honey vinaigrette.
Dinner offers some delicious choices including great appetizers.
Try the goat cheese on grilled sourdough toast with salsa fresca or
the shrimp-corn fritters with honey-lime dipping sauce. Either of
these appetizers combined with a salad will make a terrific light
meal.
Entrees include grilled marinated chicken breast served over
lentils with a tomato-cucumber salad, a grilled pork chop with spicy
apple chutney accompanied by mashed potatoes and seared greens,
or fabulous slow-roasted ham with old-fashioned macaroni and
cheese. If you prefer pasta, try the BLT pasta or the pasta with fresh
spinach and chicken. There is also a Dish vegetable plate of assorted
vegetables, potatoes, lentils and salads. For a special treat order
a side of the fantastic macaroni and cheese. It is just like “Mother
used to make!”
End your meal with apple bread pudding and you’ll understand
the true satisfaction of “comfort food.”
Dish is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week.
There is a dining room available for private parties. Dish also offers
home delivery and catering.
