Dish Preston Hollow

Everyone was very friendly, the restaurant is clean and upscale, but the central reason for going there is the problem.
They are attempting to take ordinary home cooking and elevate it to bigger heights.
My deviled egg appetizer was great.
Decadent craziness with truffle oil.
But after that it all fell apart. The Little Gem Chop sounded flavorful but in reality this take on a chop salad is over dressed into oblivion.
Blue Cheese, ranch, and balsamic combined in generous proportions until it tastes like you're eating a sauce and not a salad.
I sent it back. The main course was Hake.
The catch of the day.
It's an incredibly bland fish.
They cooked it well but it tastes like nothing.
The herb crust had zero flavor.
Then they chose to put that herb crust on a layer of yam puree with some sort of tomato sauce and a pile of artichoke hearts.
None of these flavors actually worked together.
The tomato and artichokes were overpowering forces that still didn't add to the hake having zero flavor.
I didn't send it back but it was not "good." Dessert was the chocolate cake.
For as dark, decadent, and over sized as it was, the actual flavor was weak.
The layers separating the cake itself was like pure fudge.
Hard to stab your fork through and overly sugary.
I've had many a piece of chocolate cake in my life and this was low on the list.
It needed more of the dark bitterness.
Something to give it punch. Overall I feel like Dish thinks more is better.
These foods can be great but focus on the simplicity of great flavors and less on the ideas of slamming things together in overwhelming amounts.
A really good piece of fish is good on its own.
Add to it.
Don't cover it up. People actually like the flavor of the greens in their salad.
Let that still exist. Etc...

The sea scallops were amazing.
Good selection of cocktails and a nice atmosphere.
Make reservations.

Went for my wife's birthday.
I asked about her gluten free options over the phone.
They gave us a birthday card, two glasses of champagne, and a menu with highlighted gluten free items.
The service was attentive and respectful.
The food was delicious.
My only qualm is the price is high for everyday eating.
I would recommend this place for all kinds of special occasions.
