T.G.I. Fridays to Close, DISH Restaurant to Open at Janss Marketplace in Thousand Oaks
Friday, April 20, 2012 at 01:28PM 
On April 1st, a CVG Facebook follower filled us in that TGI Fridays at the Janss Marketplace would be closing soon. Since then, others made mention and TGI Fridays employees confirmed the anticipated closure. We were awaiting "official" word from TGI Fridays but yesterday the Ventura County Star reported that TGI Fridays will indeed be closing and in the September time frame, DISH Restaurant will be taking over that space.
No official word yet as to the actual closing date...but it sounds like it will be really soon. The closure of TGI Fridays' Thousand Oaks location leaves us with 2 Ventura County locations - Simi Valley and Oxnard. Visit www.tgifridays.com for more information.
DISH Restaurant has operated for the last 10 years in La Canada (north of Glendale) and this will be its first new location. From its website at dishbreakfastlunchanddinner.com:
People who love a great breakfast restaurant will appreciate the things we do at DISH, like roasting bone-in hams every morning and offering applewood-smoked bacon and hand-crafted sausages. Our apple oatcakes are made with fresh diced green apples, and our cornmeal jonnycakes are made with real corn.
We serve simple family-style food, yet we concentrate on quality. So something as simple as a BLT sandwich can be a pleasant surprise when it’s made with applewood-smoked bacon, carefully toasted whole wheat bread and French fries cut from fresh Kennebec potatoes.
Sounds like a great place to me! They appear to be fairly priced, nominated as a great breakfast place and well received by food critics. Stay tuned.

Dish is one of my favorite restaurants, and a FABULOUS breakfast spot!
I'v been going to Dish La Canada since it first opened, Ventura County just scored BIG! believe it won best breakfast in LA a few years in a row
Dish is amazing. The line will be out the door for breakfast! This place ROCKS! Thousand Oaks has a real winner here.
T.O. just SCORED! I visit my cousins in La Canada all the time, mainly just to go to Dish. It has become my favorite restaurant
I agree with all the praise of Dish, great place. But as a point of fact the Thousand Oaks branch will not be the first. Dish tried out in Pasadena's Union Street but had to close.
