My wife and I went with friends to the Rieger Distillery and had an early meal in The Monogram Lounge. We started off with a good Heim Beer ($6) and a Chardonnay ($9). We had the very large Local Greens Salad with apples, cheese, nuts, etc. ($11), and Tomato Bisque soup ($7), warm smoked nuts ($5), warm marinated olives ($8) and a Sliced Prime Rib Panini ($16), and the Rieger Club sandwich ($14). They kindly kitchen split the sandwiches and chips. The tomato bisque was large and very tasty we definitely will do that again. The salad was very large and very good as well, but we had too much food and hardly ate much of it. The Panini was served with au jus. One liked it while the other thought it was just ok. My wife and I liked our Club sandwich and while it was good it seemed some what typical. I believe we will try the Cheese and Charcuterie board next time. Three items ($16) and five ($24).
The venue was fantastic and had an overlook into the distillery and an awesome history display area of the East and West Bottoms an The Heim and Rieger families. The ambiance was fun and the service was quite good. My friend and I even took the curved slide down to the lobby. We will be back and do the Distillery tour as well next time.
