Also a great way to try a bunch of cocktails. $5! What a steal! Our server was really nice and the drinks came out pretty quick along with our food. My only complaint is that the truffle fries were cold and limpy. They were great.... Also the truffle flavor was nonexistent. And my chicken tasted kinda fishy and the batter came off. So obviously they weren't battered correctly. But if you don't count the food, this place is pretty good!

We were seated at a table for two inside but just at the window with full on views of the sunset over the mountains. The outside patio was popular and the tables with fire pits and full views were noticeably booked ahead. Inside was sleek and modern with a few patrons this evening. Our waiter was professional and attentive throughout the evening. Our drinks were exceptional. Ryze from the Ashes - a drink with a quirky and smoky personality Shillelah - vibrant and a touch tart rather than sweet Truffle Fries - exceptionally crunchy and generously portioned Dos Tacos - just right for two Adobo Chicken - something different as a spice combination but could be more juicy.

However, the last time I went there (in 2024), we had a young man who was very rude serving us. He did not bring our drinks to us until one of us had to go ask him for our order! It seemed as though he may have been resentful, as our drinks were mediocre to bad - tasted like no alcohol - with hardly any volume...yet our bill - for only three drinks - was outlandishly high!! I was so disappointed and, frankly, embarrassed for District Elleven. How I wish I could have some kind of reassurance that this kind of thing would not happen again, so I would be moved to go back...the ambience gave me the best vibe being there, and that is an accomplishment in itself. A++ for ambience (and previously, also for drinks and food from next door); but now, F for service and drinks - so sad.

Since it was so late we ended up grabbing some of the truffle fries and the cheese balls to snack on as we had a couple drinks. The fries had to be the best truffle fries I've had as all of them were extra crispy and had the right amount of truffle oil and salt throughout. Very consistent in the flavor and texture. Cheese balls weren't as expected with the arugula and cable slaw on the side vs what we though would be incorporated into the cheese ball. Started with the pumpkin extravaganza which was tasty although not sure how potent. Next up was the espresso martini which was also tasty and despite not having espresso in it, had that coffee flavor as anticipated. The entry is amazing and they have several cozy seating areas. Service was a bit hit and miss as they were quite busy. My friend got the White Rabbit, flaming marshmallow and the other friend got the apple pie martini. Both enjoyed and I'd come back to try their main entrees by snagging an earlier reservation.

We arrived for our 5pm reservation a few minutes early and were promptly seated by a super sweet hostess. She even acknowledged our anniversary and asked how our day had been so far. When our server arrived, she provided water and took our drink orders. I order the special "The Purple Drank" and my husband tried to order an iced tea but was told they don't serve tea, only water and Pepsi products. Ok, water it is...without any ice I might add. The Purple Drank came dressed with an orange sugar gummy candy and the drink looked orange as well. It tasted like nothing but grape vodka...and not a high quality one at that. We ordered an appetizer: Garlic Truffle Frites. They were just ok. Frozen, thin, crispy fries with maybe a little truffle oil, garlic seasoning, bag Parmesan cheese, an aioli dipping sauce. For entrees: Mediterranean Chicken Pasta and Chicken Cordon Bleu. The chicken pasta presentation was what you would see at a chain restaurant and everything accompanying the chicken was so smothered in oil, you couldn't really taste the flavor or the food. The cordon bleu was a frozen heat and serve with virtually little chicken, ham, or cheese. To say I was disappointed is really an understatement. We were in and out in less than an hour for a special occasion dinner.
