Dish - Mother's Day Special Tiramisu Cake - American Near Me - La Canada Flintridge, California

I really enjoy some of the salads here. And the bus boy is the nicest guy in the world. The waitress with the long blonde hair needs to step up her game. She is not attentive, doesn't check on you. She disappears FOREVER. Seems like she's the only server I've ever had there and that sucks because she really does the least she can do. She should really have her hair in a bun and more secured. Is she out back smoking most of her shift? Girl get it together and be more personable with your guests. Check on them, see if the food is good? Give us refills? Come on.......[[HIGHLIGHT]]Some of the booths are really uncomfortable, with weird abnormally overstuffed cushions that lean back awkwardly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is cute but the paint they use on the tables is sticky and grimy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

New favorite spot for breakfast and lunch. Food was fresh, and the quality was good. Definitely going back for dinner and drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is unique but cool.. they have 2 seating areas, I will say my favorite area is by the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For lunch my friend and I got hot sandwiches with fries on the side with a side of house ranch. I got the fried chicken sandwich with chipotle aïoli sauce, cheese and tomato. My friend got the steak sandwich with arugula and provolone cheese, and their Diet Coke was very refreshing. We normally stick to the same place for breakfast and this time around we decided to come for breakfast since our experience for lunch was great. I got the Dish breakfast combo and added hash browns on the side, and my friend got the waffles that came with a cup of strawberries with wip cream and she added sausage on the side. Didn't get a chance to take pictures but will update once I go back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is old but good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We love the food and they often have a lot of daily and weekly specials. The waiters are all very kind and do their best to get us all we want. I was sad they removed the tacos from the dinner menu but since it is on their lunch menu the chef was able to make them for me and that made me so happy! read more

Food quality has extremely declined, and to the owner please invest in a water filtration system as tap water in your iced tea and regular drinking water was not consumable! Cheap inexpensive ingredients used, tasteless chewy meat! So disappointing for one of the only reputable establishments in La Canada declining its quality like this! read more

Dropped in for breakfast with friends and had a great meal and a great time catching up. If I lived in the area, I'd definitely frequent this place - at least for breakfast because there aren't too many options in the immediate vicinity where I live. 1. This place has parking. And free too. No meters, or attendants - just their own self parking lot. 2. Service was great. The server's timing seemed to be spot on. Knew when to swing by to check up on us as he likely picked up on us just hanging out casually - talking more than taking bites. 3. The food was solid. I ordered an all meat omelet and with hash browns and sour dough (toast). See pic - there's a toaster on the table so if it's burnt, that's on you. Omelet was savory and I liked that it was served under seasoned (salt and pepper) which allowed me to add to my taste. Every bite has meat and cheese - see pic - served fresh so you would have seen cheese pulls if I took shots like that. Definitely something I'd order again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Call me weird but I liked the design of the place. Different tables. Different chairs. Booths and tables leaving an open dining area. Windows for natural light and a separate bar area - looked to be a full bar too. TV's to watch sporting events.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't scrutinize it - but I saw a Happy Hour menu. Score! Said it before - will say it again. If this wasn't so far for me, I'd definitely be a regular. Don't be surprised though - if you see check ins or pics of me dropping in for dinner and or Happy Hour. read more

First off, I can't breathe because I ate so much. lol My server was Brooklyn (hope I spelled that right) but she was absolutely amazing. I was debating on a burger or a stack of pancakes with eggs bacon and hash browns and she told me to go with the pancakes. I'm so glad she suggested it bc these are by far the best pancakes in La Canada and the Foothills. Super soft, fluffy, huge, and delicious. Hash browns and bacon was great as well. They serve brunch every day til 2pm. Brooklyn is the absolute best. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The Dish is a wonderful place for any meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]With active toasters on the booth tables it reminds one to order a many bread items as possible when 'Dish-ing' for breakfast.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I recommend the Chicken Piccata but substitute the mashed potatoes with linguini or the excellent Patty Melt sandwich served with humungous onion rings. The Salmon Wrap is also very amazing as it is perfect if one doesn't want to feel stuffed after eating and when paired either with a salad or sliced tomatoes its a perfect balance for one to 'feel healthier' The Green Garden salad that can be chopped upon request is a phenomenal and more healthy option and paired perfectly with an ice tea for lunch. read more

Restaurant feels cozy. Waitstaff is very attentive and nice. Plenty of parking in the lot. Garlic cheese bread apps are yummy. Plenty of marinara sauce to go with each bread.

I've been coming here for years, but today I had the worst eggs Benedict I've ever eaten. The English muffin wasn't even toasted. The ham was sliced like for a sandwich, I don't even think it was Canadian bacon. And the hollandaise sauce was completely tasteless absolutely no lemon flavor at all. They really need to adjust that recipe. read more

We came here for monthly breakfast with my peer. The restaurant even opened a little earlier than 8 a.m. allowing us to wait for the rest of the party. The service is always warm and attentive here. There is a full menu of all kinds of breakfast. I always order their omelets and they are always great. I also tried their breakfast burrito which is equally delicious. This is a great restaurant and we will always come back for breakfast. read more

Dish - Here's the mushroom and spinach omelette with the side order of bacon! - American Near Me - La Canada Flintridge, California

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A institution in La Canada, plenty of parking, clean and airy with booths and tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food is freshly prepared using quality ingredients. Staff is attentive. When the fan was blowing in my face and I asked if it could be turned down, server accommodated my request. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dining area is acoustically challenged. Sound bounces creating echos and magnifying other sounds. Difficult to enjoy your dining experience and converse with your guests[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. It's a shame. It could be so much better. read more

Hostess - Friendly - got me some water Server - more interested in a table of men - flirting with them, telling one she loved him while comping him extra glasses of pineapple juice I order Jonny cakes combo - with eggs poached medium -- stressing that the whites should be "set" not uncooked & runny. Server says, "poached medium - got it ". I ask for ham rather than bacon or sausage. B When my food comes - the eggs are not set and one of the yolks is broken and I can see uncooked egg whites. I send it back. The man delivering the food asks what the issue is. I explain that if I even try to eat uncooked eggs I will throw up and I'd rather spare myself - and everyone in the restaurant that experience. The Jonny cakes were dark brown on the outside - dense and still doughy on the inside. I tried to eat them - got through half of one and had to stop. The ham was good - thick cut, flavorful. Server did not check back in on me once - while revisiting the table of men next to me several times. The Jonny Cake Combo with eggs is $20 But since I sent the eggs back - I left $25 cash on the table and left. I would've done better to go to McDonald's for an egg McMuffin or come home for some toast. Mediocre to bad service Mediocre to bad food read more

Went here on Memorial Day for breakfast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The banana pancakes were SO goood. Bacon was cooked perfectly.

We had not been here in years, but it's better than ever now and I highly recommend! read more

I had not been in a few years but unfortunately this place has gone down hill fast! The coffee and food were average to bad. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor, once charming feels dated and tired.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom (at 10am on a Saturday) was pretty filthy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only saving grace was the warm and friendly service. I hope they can revitalize the decor and the food. The bacon was limp. The breakfast potatoes not hot or crispy. The omelette was not bad. The french toast, just OK. Americano coffees were very disappointing and served in an odd glass. read more

Recommended by Brandon of Descamps Gardens this place does not disappoint! Ambiance: Decor is interesting reminds me of a vintage home with lots of warm decorations somewhat random but gives the welcoming feeling. Service: When I first came in, I just came in to check out the menu but the servers started greeting us like... everyone of them started greeting us it immediately satisfied my first requirement: excellent service. Shout out to Rachel explaining the menu to me and even asking what I ended up ordering and to Shannon a server that my wife and I totally adore. She refilled my tea before I mentioned it, happily brought out every item I requested. Not once did she give any negative vibe when I can be a busy/challenging customer. For the record I didn't get all the names but practically everyone helped, runners asked if we needed anything else... it's honestly quite amazing. But wait there's more! Affordable: My first impression was, location and surrounding area cost of living this place was going to cost a ton... it's extremely reasonable given the current inflation atmosphere, hopefully this changes after the election but can only hope... The portions are quite large and my first time here I really over ordered lol. Food: Sunday Brunch time menu: Ribeye Steak and Eggs - Steak had grill lines tasted like Pinnacle Peak in its prime days, the fries were seasoned battered fries which I liked so much I took the left overs to air fry later, scrambled eggs (no shells in my eggs = chefs that rock it). Ribeye Nachos - I asked for extra chips not soggy thinking I wouldn't like the ones covered in this amazing nacho sauce... I ended up eating the cheese covered chips the whole time. The meat on it was perfect and not dried out, guacamole, pico, and Jalapeños were fresh! Soup - was something with a lemon zest with vegetables and rice, a bit sour but still amazing tasting. Crab cake something egg Benedict's - eggs were huge, creamy sauce although the crab cakes would've been better if cooked a tad longer! Still something I would reorder and ask for the crab cakes to be fried more. The creamy green sauce on it was amazing good. Apple Pie - on the smaller side, but fresh made in house and the spices were good more on the stronger side with a scoop of vanilla ice completes the meal Their menu is different breakfast, lunch, and dinner meaning lots of coming visits even though we live outside the convenience distance. Parking is available on the lot adjacent to the building and possibly on the street but I'm not totally sure, just didn't see much red. I highly recommend this place for its beyond the benchmark service and excellent all in house made food. I only wish I found this place sooner. read more

I went to a really fun dinner here with friends. This restaurant is big and spacious and not too loud to hear your friends talk. I loved that aspect of it. I was not, however, impressed with the food. The mashed potatoes that came with my meal were cold and tasted a bit undercooked. And everything else on the plate was very underwhelming. It was also frustrating that when my friend paid her tab in cash, the waiter just assumed that he could keep the difference between the bill and what she gave him. She was not trying to tip him $18 on a $42 tab. She actually had to ask him for her change back and then give him his 20% cash tip. The tipping culture is out of control and no waiter should ever assume that all the cash given to pay a bill is theirs to keep. Especially now that the minimum wage for waiters has been raised to $16.50 an hour. Would I go back? Sure, I might give it another try if I was in the area. I don't live locally so that's probably not going to happen, but I would give it another try. read more

Not familiar with the area, we got a recommendation for this place from someone at Descanso Gardens. We were pleasantly surprised with the warm welcome we received as we entered a very unique looking almost ranch house like interior. It's definitely got some age but with it came a good amount of charm. Very happy to see the American flag proudly on display. Shannon was our server and she is the sweetest, happy person. Rachel and the pretty short hair runner were also super friendly and helpful. Everyone had big smiles and obviously love being there. We tried several items and overall really enjoyed it. Steak and eggs - Great steak and large eggs. Hubby got a side of fries and they had a great seasoning coating. Crab cake eggs Benedict special - Huge perfect poached eggs. Loved the large amount of spinach as well. Was a really tasty mush. I think the crab cakes and English muffins needed more crisping you hold up to the delicious pesto? hollandaise Rib-eye nachos - Oh wow! So meaty and such a tasty cheese sauce. The chips were really crisp and fresh too Rice and Vegetable Soup - Too lemony Salad dressings - They make the all in house and have a great variety. Had the citrus lime vinaigrette first but it tasted super metallic and weird so switched it for the green goddess which was amazing! Apple Pie - Desserts made in house too. Delicious crust. A little too much spice for me personally but good Hope we can come by again soon but unfortunately really out of our way. read more

That was pretty bad. My wife and I came for Saturday breakfast. The restaurant was not crowded (so, that can't be used as an excuse). I got the steak (medium rare) and eggs. The steak was burnt on one side and cooked medium well. The seasoning was good, but the cut was not good. I would have sent it back, but the waitress was nowhere to be found My wife ordered an omelette with hash browns. She asked for hot sauce. It never came. The waitress was nowhere to be found. When we needed a refill on our 5 dollar cup of coffee, the waitress was nowhere to be found. Do you see a trend. There appeared to be nobody in charge of the dining room Sad to see a local restaurant fall apart read more

Came here today as we needed to be in the LA Cañada area, did some Yelp searching and decided on this place! Parking was ample and building seemed older but fairly welcoming, we went in through the side door, not realizing it wasn't the front, lol. It wasn't too busy, but seemed fairly lively and family-friendly. A fairly extensive menu, with specials, I had a tough time deciding because breakfast was also served till 2pm! But I went with the filet of sole that came with mashed potatoes, garlic spinach and a lemon caper sauce, and it was very yummy! The spinach was a tad bit salty for me, but overall everything was flavorful! My husband ordered the pulled pork burger, and also thought it was tasty. He had it with sweet potato fries and they were quite crispy and quite sweet...wouldn't surprise me they added a bit of honey to it! Staff were friendly, especially our server. Seemed she knew everyone too, definitely a lot of regulars were in today. Not a bad go-to for diner fare with a family-friendly vibe! read more

My family and I have been frequenting the Dish for over a decade. The staff is always friendly and the food is always exceptional.

We came here for a friends birthday brunch. We walked in and it gives off a dive bar feel.

I was excited to meet my beautiful sissy for drinks. It was Monday, the day before the 4th. Our first choice was closed, as was the second and third...so we ended up at Dish. Turns out this place is great for Happy Hour. You can't beat $5 martinis (Wine & Draft Beer also $5/$4 bottled) (Food $6/$7). The lovely bartender, Sonia, greeted us with a smile. She is fantastic and will go the extra mile to make sure your cocktail is perfect. We were also fortunate to have Quinn as our server. He was an absolute doll! We both adored him! Dish serves up traditional American food. The dining room has a warm rustic vibe, and the bar is the perfect place to catch a game or chill with friends. Upscale or low-key, it's always a good time when Sissy Joon & I get together. Sonia and Quinn made our evening even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a great spot for Happy Hour - Dish is your place!

Great diner. Most of the servers are terrific, very kind, very courteous. The food is diner food, but a little bit better. It's not some gastronomic spectacular, but it has all the things you need. Try the patty melt and tuna melt. The omelettes are great, as are the chicken wings. Great onion rings, too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]One big complaint: they have the worst smelling restaurant bathroom. I don't understand why they don't fix it. It smells like a latrine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]For a place in such an upscale neighborhood, you'd think they would fork over the cash to update their plumbing or whatever it is that's causing the issue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nevertheless, don't let the bathroom stop you: a great spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This place is cool. They have the DISH logo on their TV and their name is also Dish. Speaking of Dish: I order the "Dish" burger. Server: How would you like that cooked? Me: Medium The burger: Well done and so dried out, it was practically mummified. Dish-aster. read more

After about a year not going to Dish I revisited today. I called ahead and asked if as in another occasion the chef could prepare one of my fav dishes not on the menu any longer. Despite the fact they were obviously very busy Meaghan answered my call and handled my request quickly and professionally. Yes, chef can do that. I headed over and sat at the bar where the server/bartender made me a perfect skinny margarita and despite being very busy provided excellent service. The dish was just as I remembered, excellent. I'll return soon. read more

We had a good experience at dish after a visit to Descanso Gardens. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the food was good enough. It's a large restaurant, so even though it was packed and Mother's Day, we were seated fairly quickly without a reservation. The coffee was good enough could've been a little bit stronger. (Full disclosure I need to super strong coffee to live.) My kid wasn't that friendly and just had fries what she thought were good enough. I had the Florentine Quiche (though our server miss heard me initially and brought Florentine Benedict to start. That was quickly replaced with what I had asked for) the quiche was perfectly prepared. Nice and fluffy key should be. Potatoes on the side. Could've used a little bit more seasoning did the job the potatoes are supposed to do. My wife had a Florentine Benedict without the English muffin as she is gluten-free. She thought it was good, but would've appreciated more gluten-free bread options. You can see the local appeal of a restaurant like this with lots of breakfast options, I mean stay when you want classic foods. If we lived in La Canada, I'm sure we'd be there often enough. read more

I've returned here now a few times and we just love the breakfast selections. The vibe is country style mixed diner and enjoy that some tables have a toaster on it. The service always seems to be lagged here but the food does come out fast once it's ordered.

We'll keep returning and like this place better than the black cow cafe, although at black cow they're quick and efficient. read more
