This is a beautiful place to have a drink. Dampfwerk is a surprise. Located in a warehouse in a…read moreneighborhood of railroad tracks and concrete block, the Dampfwerk Distillery hits you with elegance and sophistication once you enter. It's a "Through the Looking Glass," experience. It's like imbibing in your wealthy uncle's basement bar. Known for its aperitifs, Dampfwerk requires navigation. Izzy and Wyatt were our navigators and bartenders. They were great. Everything we tasted was refined, delicious and special. Dampfwerk would be unique anywhere in the world. This is a place to surprise friends and guests from out of town. By the time I arrived at Dampfwerk, I was already tipsy from spending time at another distillery. (My spouse does the driving, thankfully.) Thus, I can't remember what I drank, but I know I had a great time.

Was it worth it? Worth every penny. Absolutely delicious and possibly the best French dip I've eaten. Next, I saw they had cioppino on the menu so we returned two days later. Wow - it was memorably great! Service, food, and ambience were all top notch - I highly recommend this restaurant.

I was a bit disappointed in the cali roll - I bit into a piece of hard crab shell which put me off from the rest of the roll. I liked the cauliflower a lot but was surprised at how few pieces there were. It wasn't overly battered and had really good flavor and are worth trying out. The fries were solid and something I'd order again! I'd definitely give this another shot. I had really high expectations for quality and was just a little disappointed in a few of the dishes but really enjoyed others.

The food on the buffet was so good that we'd love to return for a dinner or happy hour experience. I won't go into detail about the brunch buffet since it's only a special occasion offering. But the food was delicious. First off, service was fantastic! Our server Hunter was awesome, the hostess was professional and friendly, there is free ramp parking right across the street, and the restroom is clean. Atmosphere at the restaurant is lovely. They have the main dining room, a bar area, and a smaller room (maybe for private events?).

Three separate stations... hot bar, cold bar and dessert. Hot bar highlights were the etoufee, fried chicken and white country gravy. Etoufee was rich, good depth of flavor with a little spicy kick. Chicken was seasoned perfectly with a crispy batter. Cold bar highlights were the shrimp and smoked salmon. Dessert highlights were the carrot cake and cream puffs. Definitely will be back to try the rest of the menu.

The tri color potatoes were ABSOLUTELY the BEST item of anything I have eaten! SO GOOD! The mushroom flatbread is also absolutely delicious and well balanced! The flourless chocolate torte tasted like fudge -- yum! Will definitely be back with more friends!
