    I went to “The Refinery “with a few friends last night and everything from our host to the food and ambience was amazing! My host was Mr. Oquendo and he made sure that we selected the perfect drinks and meals. We were not disappointed at all by his recommendations. His customer service was outstanding! The food was perfectly flavored and the drinks were delicious! I would definitely recommend this restaurant. We look forward to another great dinner soon!

    Both lobster and mahi mahi were overcooked and very pricey. Wouldn’t return.

    Great Restaurant for local island dishes and drinks. The fried Yuca with dipping sauce was to die for. The fried Chicken chunks with jerk BBQ sauce was phenomenal. We had lobster with a spicy jerk seasoned butter that was awesome. Bartender kept the atmosphere lively and made excellent painkillers and mojitos. location is great.

    Food was great but they need more service staff. The current staff was working as hard as the could but couldn’t keep up.
