Local Eats: Dish Society Review

Hey darlings!  Hope you all had a relaxing weekend!  After a somewhat crazy week with all of Marli’s “changing behaviors” (more details this week in her 18-month update), I needed to unwind and relax.  We rented a couple movies and spent Saturday night having a dinner date which was nice.  We rented The Other Woman (starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton) and  Captain America-The Winter Soldier.  Both were pretty good, a tad bit long/drawn out in my opinion, but the chick flick was pretty funny and Captain America did have some good action scenes in it.

My parents watched Marli for a couple hours on Saturday so we could have a dinner date.  I recently dined at Dish Society, a new local spot, for my friend’s dinner party and enjoyed it so much I wanted my husband to try it out….at least before I posted this 🙂 (Spoiler: He LOVED the place so we will definitely be back.)

The new restaurant is located on the ground floor of an apartment/loft building near the intersection of Chimney Rock and San Felipe and it’s got a cool and casual urban/industrial feel to it because of the architecture.  Their concept is simple – farm-to-table with a goal to source most of their ingredients/products locally which is pretty neat.  Although we went for dinner, they also offer a breakfast, lunch, brunch, and HH menu. (Breakfast and Lunch is ordered at the counter and Dinner is a traditional sit-down style.)

I would LOVE to visit for breakfast and brunch soon, but I wanted to share some of the dishes I had/tried for my local Houstonians to know about.  Although I went for dinner both times, I think a lot of the dinner dishes are also lunch dishes as well 🙂  ***WARNING: The pictures below may cause severe hunger and salivation.***

For the dinner party, I order the shrimp tacos. SO YUMMY!  They give you 2 tacos and each one had 3-4 pieces of shrimp so it was pretty filling.
I was able to grab a few bites of the Shrimp & Grits dish below and would love to order this next time I visit for dinner.  The dish was rich and very filling.  It was DELICIOUS…and I love the added bacon sprinkles on top. 🙂

Ok, for our dinner date, he ordered the pork tenderloin (medium) and substituted his collard greens for a side of the brussel sprouts. I did the same. He LOVED his dish, but I think next time, he may ask for the sweet potatoes on the side (instead of having the meat placed on top of it).

I ordered the chimichurri steak (subbed the collards for brussel sprouts) and it was really good.  (This was a popular dish ordered for the dinner party.)

I was HOPING to have room for dessert, but that was a no-go.  We did.however, grab a cappuccino with a splash of vanilla and it was the perfect ending to our meal. 🙂 Thanks for reading and if you decide to visit, let me know what dish you are loving so I can try it! Have a hungry and happy Monday lovelies!
