    Beautiful rare strip steak and wonderful thin onion rings. Tasty roasted Brussel sprouts appetizer. Crème brûlée brownie had a nice variety of flavors and textures. The dessert menu seems pretty static, it would nice to see a little rotation and variety.

    Dined at District Kitchen on a Monday night. I was surprised how busy it was so that immediately told me this was a popular place and I had high expectations for the food. I had the N'awlins Shrimp and Grits and my date had the red trout. Both were excellent and the ambience made for a great night out. It was energetic yet was still easy to have a conversation with our wine. I definitely recommend District Kitchen and Cocktails especially during the holidays. ~LA Lloyd~

    We had an amazing meal at District. We went to celebrate my husband's birthday and we will definitely be back. Our waiter, Jeremy, did a wonderful job of making menu suggestions and we were not disappointed. They even gave my husband a very delicious dessert for his birthday. A great place we are looking forward to visiting again.

    The Fesenjoon was good but the scallops were overcooked and the risotto was a bit bland. Steak was good though. A bit pricey for what you get.

    First they didn’t have my reservation which wasn’t a problem Couse it was empty, but it took 20 mins to get water, another 20 to get drinks finally the food got served but one plate was hot of grill and the other stone cold, not a great experience, mimosas were warm, just not great. Very sad and disappointing
