    Always love coming here! Celebrated my birthday with my husband and the food was delicious! The server, Estrella(sp?) was incredible, very attentive and friendly. We loved the drinks, the scallops appetizer, and the steak and my husband’s beef stroganoff, as well as the bread pudding. We’ll definitely come back again!

    Refuge Steakhouse & Bourbon Bar is our go-to neighborhood casual fine dining place. Luis & Mark are always welcoming and accommodating. The food, the ambience, the service, and the spirits selection are outstanding. Also, a great place for any special occasion.

    The normal phenomenal experience at Refuge! Nick was fantastic as usual! The food was amazing!everyone greeted us as we walked in and made us feel welcome ! There’s no better place for a night out or a large group. Also a shout out to the chef for the best etouffee I’ve ever had and I’m from New Orleans. Can’t say anything can be improved. First class staff and some of the best food I’ve ever had.

    I love Refugee Steakhouse. Steaks are amazing but the past two times I had the short ribs and last night the scallops. Both were excellent. You can always tell a good restaurant by the bread, it sets the stage and Refugees is great. Had the shrimp fondue to start, amazing. Great service, great restaurant.

    Had a wonderful experience with my dm family this past Sunday. The food as always was delicious and the service Nick provided was top notch. Refuge is consistent both in the quality of the dishes and in the service they provide!

    This was our first reservation since becoming locker members and it was delightful. The food, as always, was perfect. Kyle is PHENOMENAL. Kyle is kind, ensures that all of your needs are met, and is excellent at providing recommendations when you are unsure. We are so happy we have become locker members.... if it something you are considering it is absolutely worth it. We strongly recommend dining at Refuge, requesting a table with Kyle, and becoming locker members!
