    Always enjoy Distilled. However this night my steak was under salted and unevenly cooked. I'm sure we will go back but tonight was a disappointment.

    We made a last minute decision to try out Distilled on Jefferson last night and were pleasantly surprised. This was our first time to Distilled. We came from a bourbon tasting, so we did not try any drinks, but will go back for drinks at the bar some time. Warm bread was delivered quickly and replaced when we ran out! I had the fried chicken, which admittedly was not what I was expecting, but was fantastic. I would highly recommend. My wife is a vegetarian and ordered the roasted mushroom ravioli. It was also excellent. She would have licked the plate were we not in public. Service was excellent and our server was quite personable. Our meals did not take long to prepare, though we were on the earlier side. The place filled up after we sat down. The atmosphere was lovely and not too loud. Would definitely go again and recommend for an evening out in Lexington.
