Wait staff is courteous and helpful.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMStellar service...Although Destihl has great food, once again it's the service that make the whole experience brilliant. Our server, Kaitlin, was attentive, timely, funny, and went above and beyond for us. We were having a late lunch meeting to go over some designs for an upcoming production and while updating a sketch, my pencil broke. Kaitlin noticed this and offered to sharpen it for me back in their office. Where else would you get that kind of service. Bravo - Destihl - and pay Kaitlin well as you definitely want to keep her around to continue to make your service exceptional...4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were there on a SundayWe were there on a Sunday for lunch, The food was exceptional and the service was excellent.

But she was a doll! Super-sweet, kind, attentive, anticipated our needs.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMA family favoriteWe have been to Destihl on nearly every visit to our son who is a sophomore at Illinois State. It is consistently great. Try the cedar plank salmon - it's fabulous!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Brew-Pub in NormalThe food was absolutely outstanding. We started off with an order of the ancho chips and dip, as well as the small plate of chorizo-stuffed bacon-wrapped dates. While you only get 3 dates on the plate, they were phenomenal. The chips came with both vinegar and ancho ranchero dips. My wife had the duck confit pot pie, while I had the espresso-glazed ribeye. My wife loved her pot pie, especially the assortment of vegetables that were inside (including zucchini). My ribeye was gigantic and was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of red in the middle. The espresso glaze added a unique flavor that greatly accentuated the meat. It was served with Swiss chard and potatoes. The chard was good, but the potatoes were rather plain and simple.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMI eat at Disthil 5 to 7I eat at Disthil 5 to 7 times a month....often with family or friends and occasionally alone.... the quality of the food and service is depenable and I never feel rushed or ignored.....4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat place, slow food serviceOur server was great with making sure we were taken care of. I have been here twice and the only thing that makes me upset is how long it takes to get our food. We ordered around 6:30 and we didn't get our food for about 45 min which is ridiculous and I think something should be done about that. Everything else was wonderful and I will for sure be coming back again but hopefully next time I won't have to wait so long for food.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMFood and beverages were fantasticFood and beverages were fantastic as usual. In a few if my last reviews I have not been satisfied with my service. I am overjoyed to say that this has really turned around. Service has gone back to its previous level of excellence. (Including previous servers stopping to say hello because they remember us!)3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was a great combinationThis was a great combination for beer lovers and people who really liked to push the flavors palate. The food was outstanding, a delicious combination of harmonious flavors that danced in your mouth.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMSpringfield Ladies Love DestihlOur group had a great time at lunch. The fried asparagus was a big hit with us. We also tried the bacon-cheese deviled eggs for the first time. They were wonderful. Everyone enjoyed their sandwiches. The wait staff was a lot of fun as well.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMLike every other meal we'veLike every other meal we've had at DESITHL, our most recent visit was spectacular. Our meal was perfect, our server was charming and knowledgeable, and the beers were delicious.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a good choiceDistihl is one of my favorite places to eat. This particular night was my birthday. Because I am aware that this is a popular dining choice I made a reservation. I arrived approximately 5 minutes after my reservation time. I was then asked to wait until a table was available. This took about 15-20 minutes. This was a suprise to me. My guest was a first time diner to Distihl. I think it was a slight turn off to her that we did need to wait so long, considering it was a Tuesday, we had a reservation, and we were 5 minutes late.
Once seated, the service was excellent and the food was fabulous!! Overall, the experience was good and I would not have spent my birthday any place else.3/19/2013 12:00:00 AMMy favorite thing about DistihlMy favorite thing about Distihl is that they are a micro-brewery and I really enjoy their brews. They have the regular brews and then always feature 2 or 3 special brews. The food is good and portion sizes are good.3/18/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, service and beer.Great food, service and beer.
