The wings are the perfect combo of savory and crispy with a little bit of spice. Sit at the bar and have Micaela craft you something that'll be sure to bring you back.
The Corcoran GroupOctober 31, 2013The Spiced Pumpkin Cider (topped with whipped cream) combines pumpkin puree, apple cider, pumpkin spice, and rum to create the perfect fall drink. Best part - it's served in an "I Love NY" mug!
Monica MJanuary 14, 2014Absolutely fantastic all around! The drinks, food (fried duck and waffles!), music and the staff. James the bartender is awesome. Plus, there is a nightly toast at the bar for everyone. Just do it.
Megan JohnsonSeptember 7, 2014My husband has deemed this the Best Breakfast Sandwich (bacon, egg, cheese, brioche) and their kale salad is so yummy it defies the normal boring boundaries of a kale salad. My new favorite salad.
Chris VodolaApril 1, 2015Those chicken wings are a delectable, twice-fried, gently spiced delight. The duck & waffle with that smoked syrup and honey butter should be illegal.
Amazing restaurant, will definitely be back often! Get the brussel sprouts, cauliflower and beets. The duck & waffle dish was just delicious as everyone said, thanks to everyone who suggested it!!- Jill MulliganDecember 1, 2014Wings, fried duck and waffles, steak tartare are all great. Complimentary and delicious spiced popcorn is served with every meal
Pedro UMarch 16, 2018Nice servers + better than avg brussel sprouts. Wings, no- easier on the eyes than on the tongue. Quality wet wipe- no one deserves to lick that bland, timidly sweet, sticky sauce from their fingers
C. Sha•Doe McIntoshDecember 19, 2013The wings, do it. The duck and waffles, do it. Don't drink (alcohol), no problem. Ginger beer concoction, amazing. Waiter: Meet Justin. Meet Ben?, nope. Met S, ;) Overall, bravo Distilled. Bravo.- Fantastic brunch spot in Tribeca. Must try the roasted mushrooms. Party in your mouth! That being said, everything is good. Outdoor seating available, and they're dog friendly 🐶
Rewan PartiMarch 17, 2016Excellent for brunches! Get fresh grapefruit juice. Their wings are flavorful and crisp. They offer outdoor seating.
Michael VAugust 23, 2013The chicken wings are amazing, and the watermelon salad is one of the best things I ever ate. The service is really good and everything is delicious. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in NY.
Village VoiceJune 10, 2013Sip on the smoky sueño vida or a minty derby shrub while munching on the complimentary cumin-dusted popcorn, or an order of the crispy duck breast atop a waffle. New location should have no problem.
Jane TemkinSeptember 27, 2013The wings are a must-order (be sure to eat them with the blue cheese!) as is any cocktail on the menu. So delicious we ate here two nights in a row!
SabrinaJune 21, 2015Order a Dram Betty, the liver pâté and then the duck and waffles. You won't be disappointed. And a homemade pickle back isn't a bad addition for dessert.
Ryan AmbsAugust 27, 2014I wouldn't come here to shed any pounds but god damn those fried duck and waffles were amazing!! The chicken wings are interesting and definitely worth an order as well!
Love this place. Free spiced popcorn is amazing. Get the burger with housemade tots. Solid tap beer list as well
Jeremy MooreNovember 2, 2015While expensive (you are in TriBeCa), the burger was genuinely one of the best I've had in NYC. Order it rare, get the clothbound cheddar.
Emily RoetzelJuly 21, 2013Sit at chefs table. Only seats four but comes with complementary moonshine poured by the chef. Makes for an exciting date night!
JeffreySeptember 21, 2014The Franklin Fizz is simply the best beer cocktail. All of the other cocktails are highly recommended as well. Also, get the wings.
Holly MooreMarch 3, 2017The food is very good, but the menu is a little difficult to figure out. You just have to be open-minded and ask the server questions. (Ours was very helpful)
Chris SandemanMay 16, 2014Pinot Noir served iced cold in an ice bucket? Um, no. Great kitchen, great bar. But the servers need a bit more training than one receives at the local theatre. Give them some time to retrain...
Melody FuJanuary 9, 2014The wings are some of the best I've ever tasted, along with the Brussels sprouts. Strong old-fashioned paired with heavy flavors = perfection
Max ThomasAugust 17, 2013Yes, the popcorn and wings are great, as is everything else on the menu. The service is outstanding. Also had my first glass of mead.
Susie BarkerSeptember 13, 2013Benjamin is a master of his craft! His cocktails are amazing. He goes above and beyond and offers very quick, attentive service at the bar. Try the Derby Shrub!!!
Glad to see this place is doing well. The owner will come over to say hi and check on your party, and the scallops are perfect in every way.
Burger WeeklyJanuary 9, 2014http://www.burgerweekly.com/distilled/ The Burger was topped with organic American cheese, pobano relish, and crispy fried onions. The bun on it was so sweet and delicious that my brain almost melted.
Nation's Restaurant NewsOctober 22, 2013Chef Shane Lyons of Distilled NY uses duck confit and brioche French toast in this take on chicken and waffles. Read more
ChristinaMay 10, 2016Chicken wings are a mess but worth it. Popcorn also a mess (nutritional yeast + "Korean spices") but also worth it.
CBS New YorkJune 12, 2015They're serving a special Mead Americano, with mead, Aperol, gin, and grapefruit bitters for NYC Cocktail Week (July 13th through the 17th). Read more- Heather HopkinsMay 10, 2014The Dram Betty is the best cocktail ever. It's summer in your mouth. I ordered two!
doug jaegerAugust 16, 2014The wings are really great. They manage to create a crispy, oozy coating that is spicy and a bit of a mess. Don't order this if you care about your white shirt.
Amee ShahOctober 7, 2016great brunch spot in a quieter part of soho/tribeca, probably has a great happy hour as well
The New York Daily NewsSeptember 24, 2013Bartender Micaela Piccolo created Spiced Pumpkin Cider ($14), a hot drink made with pumpkin puree, apple cider, pumpkin spice and Brugal 1888 rum. Read more- Joe DJanuary 23, 2015I could seriously get religious about the fried duck & waffles. Make sure your table gets at least one so you can sample
Dangerously delicious Korean-style twice fried wings, see also dangerously handsome Beverage Director, Benjamin.
Walt WalkerJanuary 20, 2015Loved the wings here. Head to the bar, to avoid the stroller crowd (because it *is* in Tribeca)- Best restaurant in the city. You get treated the way you should (as a guest and friend) and the food is incredible.
Julien PerrièreAugust 9, 2015Quite cheap beers + terrace + good service + free delicious pop corn = me happy, me will come back.
Everything is amazing. I've never had a bad meal. Fried Chicken and Waffles is one of the best.
Madhumanti SarkarApril 6, 2014Great brunch place! Totally recommend. Phenomenal food and grt service. Laid back brunch plc. Had a grt time!
Melissa ChienSeptember 27, 2014standout service! Their free popcorn is crack. Loved their porgy- best fish dish I had in a while.
Nicole BJune 14, 2013Keep on ordering up the popcorn which is ridiculous, as are the wings (aka fried chicken in wing sauce heaven). You will not be disappointed.
Ms HeleneJanuary 3, 2015Onion rings w sweet pesto & scallion sour cream $10, fried brussel sprouts w bacon, caramelized peanuts & fish sauce $14.- Village VoiceDecember 12, 2013Try the Biscuits & Red Gravy, that sit on top of a spicy pork sausage red gravy and two eggs your way.
American WhiskeyJune 14, 2014Monster Lobster Special Tonight! Only one available, first to call will be yours! $200 with the works.
Divina Peters-NatterDecember 31, 2013The Country Fry Duck Waffles were incredible! And the wings were good. Great service! And Amazing Bar tender James!!- The steamed mussels with fingerling potatoes and dill in bacon broth is a crime!
