Service Bar

First off - Shea is a great server! Second, the cocktails were delicious. Third, and most importantly, the burger was AMAZING. (now I'm biased as we supply the ground beef) Chef created a great marriage of flavors. Will 100% be back (probably next week - then maybe the week after) Run in here - and get the burger.

Had an awesome tour and cocktails were great. Do the distillery tour, get a cocktail. Grab dinner somewhere else. Service was slow. Took a long time to get seen despite there being an almost 1:1 wait staff to patron ratio when we were there. Food was very underwhelming. Meat lacked the flavor/richness expected from a $30 plate. Caesar salad had an off taste and was gritty, overall unpleasant.

Stuffed squash blossoms, outstanding! Mussles, Pork Shank and risotto all delectable. Sesame bananas foster interesting and good.

I always meant to go here, I used to live right around the corner, I shop at the thrift store across the street, but I never had the money. Truth be told, I still don't have the money, but it was a nice splurge. Whenever I spend close to $100 at a restaurant, what I want to feel is that quiet energy you get through the evening, I want to feel the glow of the meal washing over me for the rest of the night. Luckily, I carried that difficult to capture feeling with me when I left the restaurant. The dining room is beautiful and well appointed. Silverware might have needed an extra round of polishing. Glassware and plates are unique and well taken care of. Their dirty martini was wonderful and just nice to look at. The oysters of the day were everything I wanted - they tasted decadent and creamy. Wonderful way to start the meal and definitely one of the highlights of the night. Caesar Salad did its job. Was happy to see they had Skins Field Recordings by the glass, the wine selection has some care put into it despite this distillery being known for its spirits. The mussels were served with a green curry sauce, which was unique and delicious. In an effort to save money, I had the Fried Chicken Sandwich but I didn't regret it. All the condiments played together nicely and I couldn't really piece together in my head what I was tasting, I just kept taking a bite and saying "god this is good." One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had.

Perhaps our expectations were too high but the food was bland and boring while being expensive. Service and atmosphere were good and would come back for cocktails but not a meal.
