    Food was good. Service was great. Acoustics were terrible. Table of 7 and totally impossible to hear anyone unless you were seated next to them. Ceiling sound boards would be an improvement.....Or go in pairs!!

    Distilled is one of my all time favorite places to have dinner . We arrived early for our reservation but we welcomed to set at the bar in which we had cocktails while we waited . The table placement that we were given was perfect, the service was exceptional along with the appetizers & food. 10/10 will always return to one of my all time favorite places to dine .

    Very busy night so the noise was a little high, but we had no trouble listening to each other. Food was great.

    We had a great dinner experience. Service was superb. All entrees were excellent in our group- filet, fried chicken , and cobia. The brownie dessert was one of the tastiest desserts that we have ever eaten. Highly recommend!!

    The front room was quiet at the start, with few tables occupied, but quite noisy by the end of the meal, though not full. Too many hard surfaces propagating sound. The greater the ambient noise, the louder diners must be to be heard, the greater the ambient noise.
