Hazelnut napoleon, my favorite, is Asian-influenced with wonton layers bedecking hazelnut cream. The nightly ice cream sandwich special is always inventive. The wine list, not surprisingly, is superb. The wine by the glass list is comprehensive. I invariably start with the Roederer Brut Rose, an Anderson Valley non-vintage sparkling wine that recently rated 92 out of 100 in Wine Spectator Magazine.
Service is impeccable.
From the bartenders to the servers to the bussers, this is a tight operation. More importantly, everyone seems to genuinely like one other and their guests. The feeling here is of being among family rather than an arbitrary collage of workers. I could go on and on about The Dish. But your culinary New Year's resolution should be to make a reservation.
