The Distillery Mt. Hope - Rochester

We had a great time. it was a birthday party and the staff was great. our server, karena, was amazing. we had 7 children 12 and under and 9 adults. she has taken everything into a pleasure! She has the food item right and all the ****. we will come back and ask for her. also, eating was amazing, but we were too hungry to make pictures.

Distillerie has always been the “Hang out” happy we are going on site. Their 2 for 1 margaritas and rum punch hit the place. but this buffalo garlic parm wing with loaded fries and a side of ranch bring all youngs to yard.

Has not lost speed at almost ball. wings as good as ever. a jewel in rustester. twenty plus years since previously visited and as amazing.

We visited the distillery around 17.30 a.m. so that almost no tables are sitting when we arrived there. So we got our food really fast after ordering what was nice. our server was amazing (I think his name was steven; super attentive, friendly and exactly there with refills for me and my family. the food tasted great. I've ordered the tearpot. if I had to choose something to criticize, it would be that my gut said it came with tortilla chips. to my surprise, it came with 4 chips placed around the edge of the bowl and felt like I had more. my wife had the girdle bowl and my son ordered her Monday special (Kesenburger and pommes). both said that their meals were also great. as far as the phenomena are concerned, they get two of them from me. the place looked really clean and well maintained. I enjoyed having my vote of about 4 tvs to see while we eat. I would like to revive this establishment in regular time as the service compares.

Overall a decent experience but a few negatives for me. pros: great service, great flavor, chill atmosphere. cons: staff either didn’t wear masks or wear them properly despite there being a sign on the door requiring them. maybe follow your own rules? makes me so uncomfortable given the amount of people they interact with daily, and our server was unmasked. the fries in the poutine were pretty underdone and not good. they give you so much though that at least we could eat the more cooked ones before we realized how undercooked the majority of them were. my shrimp scampi or the bread or both were a bit too garlicky and ended up making me feel moderately unwell later. all in all, would maybe visit again but probably only if they actually adhere to covid-19 safety/preventative practices like wearing masks at the very least.
