My daughter had heard good things about Destihls, so we decided to give it a try. We went on a Saturday night (12/1/12), so the place was pretty busy. Fortunately, I was able to get a reservation through OpenTable via Yelp, so getting in was no problem.
When we arrived, we were seated within 30 seconds. I appreciate that efficiency - we also saw several groups that tried the walk-in route - Lesson Learned - use the Yelp reservation system for fast seating!
We ordered the home-made chips for an appetizer, and they were great. Very tasty, and a malt vinegar sauce, as well as a spicy sauce.
This place makes and serves it's own beer. if you want a Bud Light, you'll have to go elsewhere. If you want to try their beer, the prices are quite honestly, very low for good beer. We tried their 4 ounce beers (I know, so small, but since you're trying a store brew, do I really want 16 ounces I don't like after one sip?) and for $1 and $1.50 (the price range of a 4 ounce beer), we got 2 beers that were very palatable and very good.
On to dinner. The menu ranges from sandwiches to steaks to pizza.
I ordered the 8 ounce Sirloin, medium rare. The steak was cooked properly, more importantly, it was seasoned properly, and tasted great. It was more tender than some fillets I have had recently. A+!
My wife ordered a pork roast dish, that had pork so tender you didn't need a knife. She really liked the dish.
My daughter went with the 8 ounce burger, and was very impressed. She ordered it medium rare, and it was cooked to order. She loved it.
My son ordered one of the pizzas, and was a little surprised when a large, thin crust pizza arrived (pleasantly surprised - he was expecting a lot less.) The pizza was great.
We ordered desert, which included carrot cake (we ordered 1 piece for 2 people, and it was the right choice - very heavy, very good), along with S'mores and a Neopolitan fruit dish, all of which were very good.
The only reason this isn't getting 5 stars is the noise level - the interior is nicely appointed, and very well done, but the acoustics are not very good. Lots of hard surfaces result in a loud restaurant, where it was hard to hear our server.
We'll be back. The entire ticket with tip was less than $110 for four adults.
