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 service was poor, the food was mediocre and the atmosphere was cafeteria. My port chop was dry as powder. The service was inattentive to outright rude and unprofessional. The low, drop tile ceiling and poor seating arrangement was less than uplifting.

The service was super slow and uneven. The food was delicious but overpriced, especially for a fixed menu. I’ll reconsider coming here for events like this again.

It was our first time to dine at Distilled and it was excellent. Friendly and efficient waitress and the food and drinks were terrific. The only glitch was that my wife’s ravioli was served cold. However, the waitress handled it well and a fresh hot dish was quickly served. We ate in the new sun room and it was so noisy at times we couldn’t hear each other at our table.
