    Our second visit to Distilled, and walked away with zero critiques. The food was outstanding - we loved the She Crab Soup, the Steak and Frites, and the Halibut. We got the Halibut on our first visit and were pleased to find the menu/ingredients change with the seasons as this second Halibut entree was entirely different than the first but still outstanding. Our server, Catherine, was completely attentive and professional while also being warm and personable. The ambiance was fairly quiet, with low music and barely picking up other tables conversations in the room though there were a few sizable parties of 5-6. Thank you for a lovely birthday meal, we will certainly be back!

    First they sat us in a corner looking at the service area. Ok. But the seats were so low the table was almost at shoulder level. After checking the bar area, which was very loud, we moved to an adjacent room. Nice, but very warm. Went outside during dinner to cool down. Food was great. Server was very pleasant, just maybe needed a little more training.
