Everytime we have left Distilled we always comment to ourselves on how great the food and service is (especially the service). Also this is the place that introduced me to the black manhattan!
This restaurant has become my favorite in Lexington! The charcuterie was amazing and the steak was wonderful and perfectly prepared. A+ all around.
Delicious food!
Had heard good things about the place. Was a relatively quiet night but I think the table where we were seated must've been between zones or something as it was unclear who exactly our server was until toward the end of our meal. Everyone was very nice and helpful but it was not the best experience because of the confusion. The fried chicken was fantastic but the steak was average.
The atmosphere on the front of veranda was absolutely incredibly lovely. Our server was so gracious and attentive, and I will say that the fillet that I got for $80 was worth every penny of it. It was the most delicious fillet I have ever had in my life and the softest and the most buttery. I don’t know that I would recommend the indoor decor because it seems a little bit sterile and 50s ish. I dont feel that it would be cozy to be inside on a Cold winter evening. I’m always a fan of simplicity, but it feels a little sterile inside. But I was still give it overall a 4.5 review
I came here for dinner with some colleagues from work and this was our first time here. They asked if we had a reservation, which we didn't, since we literally decided like an hour before hand. But they had a lot of open tables at the time. The atmosphere was kind of fancy and professional. The restaurant seem to be split between bar and restaurant. I think I would have preferred to sit on the restaurant side so we can hear each other talk better. Our server, Jeremy, told us the special for the day. New York strip with mint chinnichuri sauce with some roasted potatoes on the side fo $42 (pictured). I got the special and the steak was perfectly cooked medium rare and potatoes were well seasoned also. However, I wish it would have came with some vegetables for a balanced meal. Overall, it was a good experience and the meal was just enough for me to leave feeling full without the need for dessert.
