    Very good food and drinks. Waitress was very attentive and service was superb. Will certainly return soon. The value exceeded the cost.

    One of our Lexington favorite spots. Always excellent and inventive cuisine. Comfy and cozy that feels like a neighborhood spot but with food and wine at the top of the game.

    Lovely restaurant in the Historical District a short walk from our hotel. Service was excellent. Very cute bar area. The outdoor patio (once finished) will be amazing. Food was very good - had steak and chicken dishes. Warmed buttered bread on table was excellent (and we are not big bread eaters). Worth the reso!

    This was our first time dining here and we will definitely be back. The cocktails and the menu were so creative. There were so many more options that we wanted to try. Everything we had was superb. Definitely recommend.

    Always excellent food. We’ve been there many times and never had a bad dish or service. Beverages were just ok before but they’ve improved a lot the last several months.

    A few weeks ago, I stopped here for drinks with friends before a concert at Rupp. We were in a rush to get out the door, and I accidentally left my card at the bar. THANK GOODNESS, because it gave me a chance to go back and have dinner!! I knew that Distilled on Jefferson was a good place to have drinks with friends. They have a great bourbon selection, stellar wine list, and really wonderful cocktails. But, oh wow. That's tip of the iceberg. Their food is spectacular. My husband and I had drinks, appetizers, entrees, and dessert (get the brownie) - everything was delicious, and the portion sizes were exactly right - not too much, not too little. For the quality of the food and experience, we thought the price point was very fair. It's a beautiful and comfortable space for dining, and I loved that the tables are spaced appropriately, so you have a sense of intimacy and privacy for your meal. What a happy accident to have to revisit this restaurant! Next time it will be intentional.
