The Dish

This is an excellent restaurant if you are looking for a diner type menu with the ambience of a restaurant. The menu is diverse and plentiful, the service is friendly and they easily accommodate large groups - separate checks are not a problem.

The food is hit and miss between good and very good to excellent, which may explain the many 4-star ratings, but I rate it 5 for all the reasons mentioned above. The Dish is a Chelsea institution.

Some of the friendliest and attentive staff and management of anywhere nearby. Food is always good, and they’ll make you whatever you want. Highly recommended for diner food, breakfast, or something healthy (bison and vegetable bowl anyone?). 5 Stars.

I came for a Thanksgiving prix fixe. It's basically a diner. The service was pretty good with an attentive waitstaff. The food was generous, but I'm not writing home about it... it was basically what I expected, good but not amazing. The price was decent too.

An un-fussy, quick, delicious meal for cheap. This is the kind of place where local retirees sit to do crosswords as they linger over their coffee and commuters hustle in and out for a quick meal of bacon & scrambled eggs or french toast. Service is very quick but not particularly personal (which is just what I want before I've had my coffee). You can get a delicious breakfast, with coffee or orange juice, here for under $10. Go in expecting a "table syrup" kind of meal, executed extremely well, and you'll be delighted with what you get for the price.
