Well, once again, atrocious service combined with poor food makes me deplore everything about Seattle?s restaurant scene, and Dish was the cause this time. As with my recommendation for Crow ? another ""local favorite"" to which I will never return ? Dish recently provided me with all the ammunition I need to stay home, scramble my own eggs, and save $25. \r
\r
First, the food here is really bland. Enough said. Due to a dearth of breakfast places in Seattle, I've eaten here three times, each time hoping it would improve and each time leaving disappointed. The restaurant has one dish that is decent ? the Slacker ? and the rest barely meet Dutch standards (which doesn?t say much.) An Egg McMuffin has more depth than the food here.\r
\r
But then, to top it all, the service at Dish is abhorrent, repugnant, detestable, and any other hyperbole I can elicit. Because Dish doesn?t accept credit cards and we didn?t have cash, a random server (not our waitress) told my wife and I that we would need to ?leave one form of ID, a credit card, and a phone number? (what?!) while we visited an ATM. My wife wasn?t finished with her breakfast at the time, so she opted to wait and finish her plate while I drove to the cash machine, a decision which caused the waitress to VISIBLY ROLL HER EYES at us and say so very politely, ?When you are finished would you please leave so we can give someone else your table?? Are you kidding me?!? So, after finishing, my wife waited outside IN THE RAIN while I returned with cash. \r
\r
Dish, you will never see us ? and, if we can help it, any of our family, friends, or acquaintances ? ever again.\r
Pros: The Slacker, coffee, not much else
Cons: The food, the service, the service, and the service
