Some restaurateurs and hoteliers just have the touch. You know that gift that makes their food better, your dining experience more enjoyable. Gary and Laura Peitz seem to have that ability. With Sandpoint's newest restaurant venture, Dish Home Cooking, Sandpoint locals are already finding something magical.
The Dish dining room is reminiscent of a cafe in San Francisco. Soft lights with local art hanging on the walls, umber walls with memorabilia lining the back hallway, the place has an immediate feeling of comfort. The food is eclectic, yet familiar. Uriah, formerly of Bongo Brew Hut, is the barista, and the espresso machine is Gary's pride and joy. The sleek, polished stainless-steel European-made Mirage espresso machine looks like a Lamborghini on the counter top. We use only organic coffee that seems to be more robust and less bitter than what people are normally used to-Wine will be another of Dish's fortes. We want wine to be a pleasure for people to sample, not something to create a kind of wine snobbery. It's supposed to compliment food, and we think we can find wines that will have a price point that makes our diners want to experiment with and enjoy.
For those who like to check their e-mails, Dish offers free Wi-Fi. The open kitchen proffers the ability to interact with the chefs while sitting on 1950's style stools at a brushed stainless steel counter.
