    Love The Refuge. Five star food, five star drinks, and five star service without the five star “you’re lucky we let you eat here” attitude. Dined there by chance two months ago and have returned twice since; it’s our “new place”. Cozy and relaxing environment. Management is always visible and visits your table to make sure everything is satisfactory. Visit and you’ll become a “regular”…like we did.

    Haven’t been to the refuge in a couple months and it looks like they changed their menu. This is particularly concerning for my husband who has a gluten allergy and the gluten-free items are not 100% gluten-free. They are gluten free after modification. This had a severe impact on my husband‘s ability to enjoy his meal as what he was used to eating before was no longer available And couldn’t find a replacement that was fully satisfactory.

    Eric, our waiter, was very good. He was attentive, helpful with the menu, and took excellent care of us. The food was amazing and the restaurant ambiance is incredible. We’ll definitely be recommending and returning.

    Great food as always and we were able to get seated earlier than our reservation, as we got there early. We’re disappointed that we did not get our requested server, Jennifer J, but we did see her there.
