    From the moment we walked in the service was outstanding. They could not have been nicer. Our server went out of his way to make our dining an excellent choice . He brought us some wines to taste that we were unsure about. The Brussels sprout salad was a delight, just so different. We had the chicken garlic sauce pizza and they put blue cheese only on one side as we requested. Our water glasses were never empty. We had a wonderful meal and will be back for sure. The ambiance is quite inviting also.

    I love this restaurant but my last experience wasn't great. We sat outside and there was only one server to 6-7 tables. She was very slow and our meal took a long time. That's too many tables for one person. I hope next time is better. I really enjoyed the outdoor seating she was just too busy to serve us and to get our checks.

    We went with several first timers to the restaurant. Everything was very good. Service was fantastic and prompt. She even recommended several dishes that we ended up eating. Food was prompt and they knew who ordered what. Overall very positive experience, will go back for sure.

    Destihl always offers an exceptional dining experience. Delicious food at reasonable prices. An awesome selection of beers they brew themselves. Friendly & knowledgable servers. It's our go-to place to bring out-of-town visitors. Our serves on this visit, Alexis, was especially delightful & offered great suggestions. And the special pizza with dates & fennel sausage was incredible! Add it to the regular menu and it'll be my new go-to dish!

    This has been one of or possibly my favorite restaurants in BloNo. We haven't been in a few months and were excited to see the new menu until we saw the prices. I am not one to shy away from higher prices, but it seems as though all menu items have increased dramatically. (Knowing the cost of specific items shows how often we eat there. ;) The food and service were still good, but the prices did not reflect what we had grown accustomed to and felt was a really fair value. All things said and done this is still a great place to eat, however not frequently.

    Food and service have always been excellent. It's a bit noisy for my Dad, who is hard of hearing, which is the only drawback. My little baby cried fairly often this time, but all the servers were very kind about it and gave her lots of attention, which I really appreciated.
