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.

The service was impeccable--they treated everyone like the top 1%, and our glasses were never empty, whether it was water or cocktails. I didn't try the food myself, but those around us raved about it, and everything that passed by looked and smelled fantastic. One thing I really appreciated was their willingness to go off-menu. Just let them know what kind of alcohol you enjoy and whether you prefer sweet or sour, and they'll whip something up for you. While not every experiment was a perfect hit, the effort and creativity were definitely there.

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.

Went in for an after-dinner drink and got pulled into a full Star Wars takeover, complete with Han Solo frozen in carbonite on the door, a Mos Eisley Cantina bar setup, and Star Wars shows playing in the background. The theme changes every 3-4 months, so what you see now won't be there forever. Reservations are usually required and we got lucky thanks to a local host who knew someone. Worth planning ahead. Drinks come from the in-house "Cantina" and lean into the theme without feeling gimmicky. Food runs off the menu from the Wobbly Olive, the main bar hidden behind a door in the same spot, and it held up. The Outer Rim Provisions menu had solid options. The biggest surprise was the noise level. You'd expect a themed cocktail bar to be loud, but you could actually hold a conversation. Our server was on point, brought drinks fast, and even remembered the names of the people we were with. Go for a date night or anytime you want a low-key cocktail experience with serious attention to detail. Make a reservation. Peek into the Wobbly Olive on your way out.

The creativity that goes into each one of their themes that rotates quarterly-ish, is so impressive! They even had an old book for guests to sign that looked like it could've belonged in the Lord of the Ring movies. The drink I got was a spinoff of an old-fashioned, which I love, but it was really just an old-fashioned. I couldn't taste the difference, but it was a great old-fashioned! :-)

As for recent reviewer Daniel S., may I respectfully point out that you can't just walk into a food service establishment with 35 people at any time of day, much less near closing, and expect perfect service. That's the purpose of calling ahead and making reservations, to let them get prepared for you. Work _with_ the establishment, not against it, and they'll take care of you. It's not reasonable to just walk in without giving them warning, then complain about the result. That's on you.

The bartender told us that the rest of the bar was downstairs and was just waiting for a table to open up. An owner was there and really took the time to talk to us and tell us about the bar, you could tell he was really passionate about it and I loved his vision. We were then seated in the downstairs area of the bar. It had a very moody, dim Speakeasy Vibe. I had heard about the espresso martini and wanted to give it a try. I noticed that there was music playing but very low and I could almost hear everyone's conversation which wasn't a horrible thing although I think good music always helps the vibe of a bar. Our drinks came and the presentation was beautiful, but I just could not sign off on the taste. Just wasn't my bag of tea when it came to an espresso martini. Being a bartender myself I have had my fair share and trust me I wanted to love it more. It felt as if the bar as a whole was missing something, although I could not quiet place it. I'm sure with the growth and popularity of the bar, it will iron itself out as everyone was very nice and I do love a good Speakeasy Vibe.

The service was very kind and accommodating, even taking back a couple of drinks that we found way too sweet. Unfortunately, the cocktails were the disappointment of the visit.

We had the rabbit meatloaf, Brussels sprouts, and bison lettuce wraps, and everything was savory, interesting, and well done. Overall, I'm glad we tried it. I don't feel the need to come back, but I'd recommend it for a one-time visit if you're looking for a fun, themed dining experience.
