    Nice distillery dining option. Salmon and chicken dishes were good. Spirits were good as well. Looking forward to the day when whiskey is an option. Service was exceptional. All and all, a nice casual place to go.

    Cardinal Spirits is the go to date night spot for me and my husband. We usually go after eating dinner somewhere else and enjoy drinks and maybe dessert. This time we were a little hungry after our dinner so we got the OMG fries and they were so good. Everything is always top notch there.

    Being our first time there I was pretty surprised how cramped it was. We had reservations for Valentine’s Day, we arrived a few minutes early and waited a total of about 15mins. We left when another couple, who came in about 10-12mins after us was seated before us (almost immediately). Even if they had reservations, which were staggered by 15 mins, they were already 20-25mins late and yet we were expected to continue to wait. We went to eat at another establishment and was seated immediately. You called my cell at 9:54pm (almost 25mins later than our reservation, your kitchen closed at 10) to tell me our table was ready. Pretty disappointing, plenty of other great places to try besides a place with such limited seating and honestly a very limited menu.
