Editorial Review for Dizz's As Is – by Amy Paturel

The Scene
The dimly lit, quaint, shingled house filled with '20s and '30s antiques provides the perfect setting for regulars returning on special occasions. Pictures of Hollywood starlets, especially Marilyn Monroe, decorate the walls. Tables are small, and the atmosphere intimate.

The Food
Light fish with savory sauces; expertly prepared, marinated meats and extra touches make Dizz's a cut above the rest. Unsolicited shots of vermouth and garlic toast dressed with chicken and pork pâté arrive compliments of the house. Generous entree portions, accompanied by exquisitely dressed salad or rich soup, make up for mediocre appetizers -- littleneck clams are undercooked, with a few shells still sealed shut. Delicate tilapia smothered in rich, lemon butter cream bursts with flavor, and the rack of lamb has a distinctive, peppercorn sauce; both are served alongside buttery vegetables and lackluster mashed potatoes. For a sweet finish, try the white chocolate praline mousse topped with a mountain of whipped cream.

Since Dizz's doesn't take reservations, you must arrive early. Relax at the bar and have a drink before the dinner seating begins. Intimate setting, unique menu presentation, outstanding food and service!
