Overall, I highly recommend checking out The Refuge for a memorable dining experience. Whether you're looking for a delicious meal or a lively night out, this restaurant has it all.
Food and service was amazingly good, ambiance was very nice definitely a place to take your wife or date. Food was tasty sat down for dinner with my wife and she likes the vibes and music playing. Had a couple of drinks at the bar as well. Live music band overall place is unique.
These nachos were the best I ever had. They even tasted amazing after I retweeted them at home. The drinks were delicious, they were very well balanced with no strange aftertaste. The food tasted fresh and everyone at the table loved their food regardless of what they ordered. The ambiance is very cool and they can accommodate large groups with eaze. The service was amazing. The full team worked together to make sure we got everything we needed. This is a great restaurant.
Extraordinary from start to finish! The drinks, food and service were exceptional & the venue is stunning! We couldn't have asked for a better night! Thanks to all at The Refuge & our lovely server Emily for a perfect evening. see you again soon!
Very cute place to pop in! Had the grilled churrasco and it was delicious, would definitely recommend this entree. Had the "wanna peach of me?" drink and that was really good if you like something sweet. Service took a bit long, maybe because we came at a busy time but overall it was not too bad of a wait for the food.
This place looks great, both outside and inside. It's inviting and welcoming, the service was very good, our server Joe was friendly and attentive, the food was very good, from the appetizers (although a little small IMO) to the desserts, although I thought that the flan consistency was more of a custard than a flan ,but it was very tasty, the chocolate cake was a little of a disappointment, it was just ok, the main dishes were very good, I can't wait to come back and taste more of their options
The scene: Thursday late night drop in Music was great live dj playing a little of everything. Very loud though so not a good spot for chit chatting great for vibes ! Drink : spice spice baby (Spicey marg ) Very sweet. Prob bc they use sour mix? I wouldn't order it again. Service: was just okay our server was nice-ish no complaints but no compliments either. The ambiance: I do love the look of the place. It has a large bar a pizza oven station you can see a large dinning area and bar high tops. My favorite thing about this place is the outside. It's winter now so too cold for that but love coming here in good weather. The food: So far in my visits I've had the lobster mac, the charcuterie, the po boy, the pizza and some other things off the menu. Everything I've had has been great! Overall a go to for me for sure.
We were blown away by the whole experience! Service: I gave our reservation and name to the hostess, she greeted us like family. That was the best greeting I've had at a restaurant. The waitress, Kayla, is such a sweet person! She was really personable, and showed her passion/adoration for The Refuge very well. She really is a gem! The Ambiance: As I said earlier...blown...away! This is a dimly lit restaurant themed so well. The ceilings are draped with "christmas lights" right now they are red, and there's a cute heart "chandelier" hanging down. Look around, there is so much to see from the ceilings to the chairs, not one detail left blank. It is almost like you are outside in the middle of a small town. Some people compare it to being in the Pirates of The Caribbean ride. We were lucky enough to have one of the beautiful high rise gazebos, it really makes you feel important, i can't get over the secluded beauty that it is. The Food: Phenomenal! We had a taste of the Valentine's Day menu to come. There is the filet mignon, crumbled lobster, with heart shaped ravioli in a cream sauce. You can't miss this! We also had one of the pizzas (there were two of us and we shared it easily). Shout out to the Volcano Shrimp Alfredo Pizza...they are handmade out on the floor (feel free to watch them at the special station). Everything was cooked perfectly, and with so much care. For dessert, we had a special Valentine's Day creation...A mini full Raspberry Cheesecake, with a sweet sauce to compliment it all, and a chocolate covered strawberry... So delicious and perfect for two! The cocktails were delicious and had a nice kick, wow, can't wait to come back!!!! Btw, check out their event hall and smaller meeting spaces inside, they are so beautiful and very separated from the noise and busyness of the restaurant.
