    Great meal. We ordered two types of hot tea, hot rock beef, fried calamari, Brussels sprouts, 5 different sushi rolls, and fried ice cream. Everything was great. The waitress was amazing. She left us alone to chat and then would magically appear as soon as we needed something. She refilled both of our tea pots like 4 times. It was 15° outside so it tasted good to drink something hot. Some calamari can be really chewy, but this one was really tender and delicious. The rainbow roll, iguana, and crunchy red rolls were our favorites.

    Another incredible dining experience at Dish! We celebrated my husband's birthday with family and shared a few starters - our favorites were the mussels + chorizo, duck fat potatoes, and beets + apples. Our server was great, explaining different dishes and cocktail options. I thoroughly enjoyed the tofu entree, which included delicata squash and red curry. I love the details that go into setting Dish apart from other spots in Lincoln!
