    Dinner was excellent. The she crab soup and wedge salad hit the spot. The special appetizer was amazing and the pear tarte was impressive. How many times have you ever seen pear on the dessert menu? The Caddish cocktail was a new take on Mezcal and really showed the effort to craft their own drink menu. The staff were super attentive, personable, and knew the menu options. Very engaged in making sure we had an excellent dining experience! All food came out timely and hot, we will definitely return. This was high-end dining without the disappointment or snobby attitudes. We truly loved it.

    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.
