What the evening looks like at Distilled Restaurant
At Distilled Restaurant, your early evening begins as the city settles, offering a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere. Guests often choose to unwind at our elegant Bourbon Bar, savoring a meticulously crafted cocktail or exploring our extensive collection of Kentucky whiskeys. The pacing is unhurried, inviting conversation and enjoyment of fine flavors. It’s an opportunity to appreciate the detail in every pour and plate, a hallmark of our fine dining experience in Lexington.
Whether you're joining us after work or before a night out, the ambiance is warm and welcoming. We encourage you to settle in, perhaps near the soft glow of the bar, or at a comfortable table designed for conversation. It's a moment to connect, taste, and experience the refined charm that has made Distilled a local favorite.
What to savor from our menu
While we focus on a full fine dining experience, our starters and small plates are perfectly suited for an early evening visit, complementing our curated drink selection. These dishes highlight our commitment to locally-sourced ingredients, offering a taste of Kentucky's bounty.

For something from the sea, the CORNMEAL FRIED OYSTERS at $21 offer a delightful crispness, or the PERNOD MUSSELS for $23 bring a touch of French-inspired elegance. Our HOUSE MEATBALLS, priced at $25, are a hearty and comforting choice, while the GRILLED OCTOPUS for $27 provides a unique, tender option.
