On Thursday, May 1, EnDev Enterprises, the masterminds behind some of San Diego’s most popular nightlife venues - Stingaree, Side Bar and Bar West - unleashed their signature brand of high-style entertainment in Hillcrest with the eagerly awaited opening of Universal and its chic new restaurant, Dish.
A principal attraction of the Universal experience, Dish features a tantalizing twist on comfort food favorites designed to appeal to a plethora of palates, from the more sophisticated to the easy-to-please. Adjacent to The Garden, Universal’s open-air lounge, Dish’s cosmopolitan design reflects a certain natural charm, fitting with its menu of local, organic and fresh comfort fare.
In particular, Dish offers an excellent option for brunch. Highlights include create your own egg omelets and scrambles with an endless array of add-ons. But the Frangelico soaked ciabatta French toast with Maracona almonds and Vermont maple syrup seems to be winning the popularity contest thus far. The dish is already being talked about as a favorite.
The ambiance is also one of a kind. An abundance of natural light illuminates the interior and mixes with the lush color scheme of red, tangerine, poppy, mango, papaya and clay. Guests can enjoy entertainment options including roving jazz nights, live acoustic guitar and violin performances.
Dish @ Universal is located at 1220 University Avenue, on the corner of Vermont. As the name implies, Universal celebrates unity, embracing Hillcrest’s predominantly gay community while welcoming an entire social spectrum of patrons. Open six days a week (closed Mondays), Dish will serve lunch and dinner with Brunch served Saturday & Sunday from 8AM to 3:30PM. For additional information, visit www.dishhillcrest.com.
