    We wanted a tasty dinner before a Kentucky basketball game. After living away from Lexington for 10 years, I trusted google to find some place close to Rupp. The reviews don’t lie! It was not only a delicious meal, but we had the BEST service and experience, and wonderful cocktails as well. Highly recommend!

    We were visiting Lexington at Thanksgiving and decided to go to Distilled on Jefferson for Thanksgiving lunch. Service was professional and attentive. We sat in the room with a long bar and it was lovely - had a cozy English pub vibe and a wall of windows and French doors to let in light. Now for the highlight- the food was fantastic! They were serving a 3 course Thanksgiving meal with 3-4 choices for each course. We got the Autumn Bisque and Brussels Sprouts salad for starters and both were delicious. The Brussels were perfectly cooked and crispy and the soup was rich and flavorful. For mains we had the roasted turkey with dressing, mashed potatoes and green beans - a perfectly flavored southern Thanksgiving meal! We also ordered the filet mignon, which was cooked perfectly. Our last course was desserts of the brownie and cheesecake- which were both delightful! Serving sizes were generous- We were so full that we ended up bringing food home. We loved having Thanksgiving here and will definitely visit again next time we’re in Lexington!

    Great and innovative food. One of our regular favorite spots. The she crab soup was what brought us in especially. The cobra and the filet entrees were also excellent. Great service as always.

    Tavvi took great care of us, and the Food was REALLY GOOD… 2 of the 4 dishes Delicious! We wish there was a 4.5 star rating, as 5Star means it couldn’t be better. The new patio area looks great! See them again soon!

    We are regulars of Distilled enjoying the experience, friendliness of staff, amd quality of food! Last night the only exception was the timeliness of getting service, drinks were very slow, food was slightly better! Their new enclosed porch was comfortable and lovely. We will continue our regular visits knowing this was just a one off!
