    Our dinner was a fantastic experience, from the food to the handcrafted drinks made with their own spirits. Do not pass up an opportunity to visit this gem.

    Delicious meal & tasty cocktails! Good service. Definitely would eat here again. FYI 2 drink limit here due to the type of liquor license. I enjoyed the small, intimate atmosphere but wish the seating was a bit more comfortable for eating. I don’t want to sit back in a lounge chair and eat a nice meal. That’s me being extra critical though!

    This is definitely a Diamond in the rough! Do not let appearances and location fool you. We had Brussels sprouts , Caesar salad and ordered the special for 2 which included steak, mushrooms and potatoes. My husband and I were so surprised. The food is amazing, the service is amazing, and the speakeasy era drinks were on point! We will definitely be frequenting this place more often. So refreshing to find a restaurant like this in the valley!

    Whitefish DistilleryResponded on January 8, 2023Well thank you very much! I am so glad to heard you enjoyed your time with us and really look forward to the next visit. Cheers! Danette

    This restaurant is small but the food & service was superb! The entire menu is made from scratch! Plus, they distill their own spirits & have some unique drinks. Very enjoyable!

    A small, intimate and unique setting. They have a menu that is intriguing, not your usual fare and that makes it creative

    My husband, daughter, and I went here for his birthday dinner! It did not disappoint. The food was awesome and unique and the service was great. They were super friendly and accommodating to our 4 year old. I’ve already recommended it to others who haven’t yet been.

    Short staffed. No Huckleberry liquors. Entrees were lacking side dishes. Expensive meals for what you got. Drinks were ok....nothing to write home about.

    Whitefish DistilleryResponded on November 23, 2022Hello Tammy, Thank you so much for coming in, and for giving us the benefit of your feedback. We sincerely appreciate it. We have always taken great pride in serving fantastic food and providing excellent service. I am hoping you will come back in and see us soon. The chef who was in charge while you were here is no longer with us and I think you will find a marked improvement to the meal you had in September. Let us know you are back and your first cocktail is on me! Oh. And hucks are in now!

    Expensive small plate of undercooked, over oiled, nearly vegetable free 'summer' pasta for dinner. Gin & tonics were wonderful, service was excellent, it is a fun little place but our food (two of us ordered the same thing) was awful.
