The DGD logo is a nod to Japanese anime. Written large on the storefront, it’s a perfect introduction to the eclectic menu inside. | Just one step inside diminutive Dish’s front door reveals a full view of the impressively stocked glass display case. What you see is what you get. |
| Atmosphere | Warm and cozy half-restaurant/half-deli with a chalkboard menu to complete the homey feel |
Spartan. Take your grub back to the office, or across the street to Lincoln Park. This is 100 percent deli.
