Distill is a local bar located very close to my workplace. I've been in the area long enough to know that the building they occupy is where restaurant and bars go to die. I thought I'd give this place a few tries before reviewing since I've seen the building change hands from one establishment to another and wanted to give them an extra fair shake. \n\nMy first experience didn't leave a very good impression since my coworker and I walked into an almost empty building at lunch time and the wait staff was visibly hanging out while preparing place settings in one of the booths and one of the guys appeared like he was taking a nap. Distill has a decent-sized menu so I asked our server what she would recommend and she claimed everything was good. I ordered their street tacos and the chicken, unfortunately, had the taste and dryness of sawdust. My coworker seemed to enjoy his sliders so I thought that would be the play for my next visit. \n\nI came back with a small group to celebrate with a coworker who was leaving the company. All the staff seemed awake -- big plus. This time, I ordered a variety of sliders. The philly slider was OK but not worth the calories. The western BBQ slider was like a dry hockey puck. The tiny country fried chicken slider which consisted of 40% bread, 30% mashed potatoes(inside the sandwich), 20% breading and 10% chicken was just inedible. It's probably just my luck that I ordered all the wrong food items. So much for the \"everything was good\" claim the initial server made. \n\nOn a positive note, when I returned to celebrate another coworker who was leaving (a recent trend), I realized this place seems like a nice place to just hang out for a few drinks and watch sports on their large TV screens. Sans food.
