The Still at Blue Rook Distillery

Had the tasting and dinner. The tasting awesome. There was so much education and history. The owner had a true passion for his product. The food at the restaurant was good, warm, presented well, team members were nice. I will definitely go again!

Ok, so first, when we said we didn't have a reservation, they asked if we minded sitting at the bar. . . Now, in a crowded restaurant that's bustling and busy, I get that. However. . . There were exactly 3 tables set and something like 10 empty (and not set up with napkins and so forth for reservations) , so I said "well, I'd prefer not to sit at the bar, if that's possible" she explained "well we just took a reservation for a 16 top and we're having to re-arrange the room to accommodate. . . Ok, they had a high top in the bar area and we took it. There were at least three booths unused and obviously not reserved. . . The strip steak was $45, in Danville Ky. It was cooked nicely, but fairly tough and with plenty of gristle to deal with. It was the only steak on the menu. It came with a small slurry of "mashed potatoes" and a couple onion rings, garnished with some dried out shiitake mushrooms on the side. The bourbon menu was odd, having only high end bourbons to choose from, and missing anything passing for a standard pick. The dessert was average, and slightly dry (a "banana bread" bread pudding. When we left the restaurant, there were about three other tables set, one older couple at the bar, and the "16 top still had not materialized." The bartender who waited on us was very nice and tried very hard to make you feel welcome and to keep you attended. Whatever they are going for, they are not there yet. I'm assuming when I see one steak on the menu, and it's the most expensive on there, that it's the best thing on the menu. I hope it wasn't. For their sake, I really hope. For the record, the girl was basically on the phone taking the large reservation as we walked in. They beat us to contact with the staff by about 3 minutes. But they had a reservation. . . Folks, take people in and make them feel welcome-- I know you want people to think of your place as "reservations required," but there was NO ONE THERE on a SATURDAY NIGHT. We had two double cocktails, two steaks and dessert. $208 before tip.

The owners. the Baekers are living the dream in Danville. This is a premiere causal fine dinning located in Danville, Kentucky. The highlight here is Brazil's national cocktail, the caipirinha, and with it cachaça - a uniquely Brazilian spirit made from freshly pressed sugarcane nectar. This is a wonderful place to host an event, we were there for a friend's wedding. The ambiences created a truly memorable events. The staff is amazing. The bar is impressive, the restrooms are meticulously decorated. With excellent service. The view is spectacular from the patio. The New York Strip was fabulously, but also recommend that pork choices and the banana pudding. The Chef is amazing and the food is visually appealing. This is off the beaten path but it is well worth a detour.

Look at the picture of the "Aperol Spritz". The bartender should be retrained immediately. How this is even allowed to be served to a customer is beyond me. At least try. The burger was luke warm. I ordered it medium and received very well done. The 2 stars is for the great server who did her best with what she was given. The low quality of the products received was highly disappointing and should be embarrassing to this "restaurant".

A sleek, classy hangout in Danville, KY. The drinks and the ambiance are the main draw here. They make their own spirits on site, and the main spirit is caipirinha, which originates in Brazil, and is a natural sugar drink. The drinks are clean, crisp, and tasty.The appetizers are the main attraction here. The prosciutto and potato flat bread, smoked salmon toast, and Buffalo cauliflower were excellent. The deviled eggs were pretty bland.Most of our party got the Still burger, which is their big draw. We all ordered our burger medium and they came out well done. The flavors were ok. Fries were crisp and aioli sauce was cool and made for a great contrast.My husband had the arugula salad, which he found crisp and light and tart.Servers were overworked, but very kind, hospitable, and as efficient as they could be.We made reservations online through OpenTable and it would let us make a reservation for four, but not five. But when we arrived, many tables were empty and stayed empty the whole time. So that was frustrating.There is live entertainment on many nights.I would return here, especially for entertainment and drinks.

We had no idea this place existed until an add popped up on Facebook. We had been driving by for years looking at this vodka distillery on a hill and realized a restaurant was hidden behind it. I was today years old when I learned what cachaca was. It is a Brazilian spirit made from distilled sugarcane juice. The food is phenomenal; the atmosphere is relaxing.

Chef Jaime helped us select a wonderful dinner for our family gathering of 12 visiting on December 27th. The small room in the back was perfect for a celebratory private dinner; they rearranged the room so we could all sit at one long table. Emma and others thought of everything, including a continual Christmas snow scene on the large tv. We opted for the creamy potato soup, the chicken or port chop, and their famous bread pudding that Chef Jaime drizzled with chocolate for us. There are some bona fide Foodies and even a rather famous chef in our family. Every single person loved the meal, the service, and the ambiance. If the Michelin folks ever give a star in this area, it will be awarded to The Still!

Food and service were excellent! The ambiance is the only thing I would change. They have very bright lights for an elegant restaurant. If they turn half off and dim the other half, this would make the restaurant even better. Highly recommend the banana bread pudding for dessert!

Food was average at best. Service was not great. Staff was nice & pleasant however didn't check in for long periods of time & restaurant was not busy. Too pricey considering the food.

This is a very unique and upscale restaurant. There is a lot of truly unique dishes and drinks. The food was amazing, tuna tacos, chicken breast, and ruban burger were impressive and uniquely tasteful. Service was top notch and goes along with everything else. This place is well worth coming to and I would recommend it.
