    Everything - I mean everything was spectacular! From our starters - the Brussels sprouts and Ahi tuna apps - fresh and delicious! Salads were straight out of garden - and that pitaschio dressing - oh my! Our entrees were beautifully presented and exceptional in quality. Our table had quite variety of choices: lobster ravioli special, pork chop, brined and fried chicken and the filet - were all outstanding! I already know what I will order on our next visit!. Our out town guests (from a much larger metro) were so impressed by our local choice. Our craft cocktails were also spot on. New patio renovation was beautiful too. Distilled is an excellent choice - you will not be disappointed.

    The waitress was slow and very lackadasical. Waited several minutes to order and then had to ask for them to come to the table so we could order. It was not busy when we were there. 3/4 of our food was good but my sausage was cold and my bacon was barely cooked. Also, on Mother’s Day wknd, you should have a bigger order of big cinnamon rolls. Very bummed that you were out at opening. :( we understood it was a busy weekend but looked forward to that started!
