My friend planned an evening out in the Distillery district. Originally we had 18 people attending but as of the day of we had 12. Still a pretty great turn out. My friend had set it up to be seated in their private room which was absolutely stunning in decor and character. The entire place's decor was extremely unique and gave u the feeling as if you were celebrating the "Day of the Dead" in Mexico. Their were masks that filled the walls and at first it seemed unusual but this room also had stunning light fixtures.
Now on to the menu, we were fortunate to have a preset menu by the venue. I enjoyed all the dished that came my way. There were about 9 different dishes including dessert. One of the girls who attended this event is a vegetarian, the waitress was kind enough to ask the group if there were any restrictions. My friend told her and the server let the chef know. Throughout the night while the meat dishes were coming out they had brought her a veggie option. I really think that was great service as we didn't ask for this special type of treatment.
The fresh guacamole was full of flavour and a great start to the night. It was also prepared table side. My friend and I shared a pitcher of sangria. Reason being, just felt like the right thing to do. We were shocked at the end of the night to see the cost. The sangria was very tasty but we felt the price was over charged considering the amount of ice they put in the pitcher.
I felt the preset menu was great but a little to pricey for my liking... I didn't feel they brought out enough food for the amount of money I spent.
I would love to go back just this time not with such a big group.. half the time I didn't even know what I what eating because I didn't hear the servers when they brought them out.
