    This is a beautiful Restaurant/Establishment with and amazing view from the second floor. Their Menu is unique! One diner enjoyed the Airplane Chicken. Other two shared a Short Rib Grilled cheese and bowls of Clam Chowder. Chowder was amazing but, the sandwich was greasy. Other Diner had a Caesar Salad which was delicious and the side of Mac n' Cheese was very creamy and decadent. Choice of entrees wasn't to our liking! We are not picky diners!

    Second time, and I’ll be back a third. First visit I got a steak and it was flavorful and cooked just how I asked. Second visit, for brunch, I got the shrimp and grits. I’d go back just for that.

    We went on Thanksgiving so we were expecting a crowd and slow service. The service was great! There was no crowd, but the food took an excessive amount of time. Our server was very conscious that we were still waiting on food for about 1.5hrs and kept checking in on us.

    Everything was so delicious! Came here for my husbands birthday dinner and we got the burrata/pear salad, crab cake, pork shank entree, and shrimp & grits entree. SO good! Our server was very on it too and checked on us a lot which was great. Definitely will be back!

    We drive through Salt lake twice a year. Finally we’re able to go to the distillery. We always planned on it but something always got in our way. Finally did and it was worth it! Food was diverse and delicious. Service was great and do plan on going back to try other items on the menu.

    Food service was slow for a party of two on a weeknight with very few other parties dining, especially considering our "entree" order was 2 salad and a side of fries. Appetizers, salads, and fries were delicious and cocktails were good. Food prices were a bit steep for a regular visit, but will come back.

    The food and service are great... and I really wanted the ambience to be as well, but sadly dissatisfied in that realm. I brought a few guests here from out of town and was thrilled when they sat us upstairs during sunset... however, the high ceilings reverberated all the loud voices and heavy chairs dragging on the floor. We could barely hear our sever and each other! Not sure why they don't seat anyone downstairs... it's such a better environment. Maybe they just want to turn over tables faster? All I know is we could wait to get outside when we were done. Sadly, I won't be bringing a group here again. Maybe just 2 of us at the bar will be okay.

    This is a fun place to dine! It was decorated for Halloween. The cocktails were creative and delicious. The pork shank was so flavorful. We also enjoyed the roasted Brussel sprouts. And it has a nice view of the city.

    We have been here many times and always a pleasure to be there. We actually ended up with 2 vegetarians with us and they made some changes to some items so that they were satisfied. Love the location, and the staff is always friendly.

    Entree came out before appetizers, so that was odd. Both were extremely fast. Price to Ambience ratio seems off a bit. Service was attentive. Kind of loud overall.

    Food was delicious, service was sub par. Server not educated on cocktails(didnt know what a martini was). Server forgot to put in our request for additional sides, but they were removed from the bill. Beautiful ambiance and will go again. A little training for service staff would make this a five star kinda place

    Views are great, service is good. Had to wait almost 10min for two of our party to get their entrees after everyone else had been served, even tho those dishes were one of their specials for the evening. Nice place to bring out of town guests, which is what we had in our party. Overall good experience.

    We had a delicious dinner with family from out of town. The only thing that I would say could have been better is if our appetizers had come out a while before our entrees. They actually came out after our entrees, which was a little disappointing. Everyone enjoyed the food and the drinks were great. We also would have liked to have sat upstairs, but there was an event going on, which we understand.

    Wonderful place for a nice meal a d open environment.. Not too fancy but definitely not too casual either!! Menu was a bit limited on options but overall everyone was happy with their selections! Drinks are great! They have a local on-site store that you can purchase distilled spirits that they have made and are absolutely phenomenal!

    Drinks were the best part. Old fashion was great. Spinach Artichoke dip was really good but top cheese was burnt and the pita chips were over cooked. Ahi Tuna was good, Salmon was a bit fishy. Desert was dry.

    I went there with my husband for a different type of food and drink experience. The drinks were delicious, but not enough on their own to warrant a return visit. The food was lackluster. It was also a bit confusing. For example, the Baked Brie Crostini has several components, but it is not cohesive. It may have been if we could have found a way to eat all of the components together, but that was impossible. The Shrimp and Grits were lacking serious flavor. When we order this classic southeastern dish, we expect bold flavor with a decent amount of heat. This was a crowd-pleasing amount of heat with very little overall flavor. The arugula salad on top is not necessary. Mixing it in would be impossible, but it is difficult to eat them together. The Short Rib Grilled Cheese was absolutely missing something. We bekieve that was also flavor. All the components from the menu were there, but it just was flat in flavor. We could see the bacon onion jam on the sandwich, but we could not taste it. The short rib was tender, but that was about it. It just lacked flavor. It may have been better with a smoky component (not necessarily barbecue sauce) and maybe a hint of sweetness. We ordered some of their wings to go. These were actually very good. They provided the barbecue sauce on the side, which made it great for reheating at home. The barbecue sauce is really delicious. This would have been perfect on the short rib grilled cheese. The atmosphere is really nice. The staff was friendly. You go to a restaurant for the food, and we just cannot see us driving 40 minutes from our home again to try it again. Maybe if we lived closer, we would give it another shot. Kind of disappointing as we expected so much more.
