   What a great night of steaks & bourbon. From the front of the house, to the floor, to the kitchen there was great service. We never felt rushed. We had a relaxed and enjoyable experience. The appetizers and main courses were properly cooked, and tasted great. Just an overall great night. Make sure you try the house made whiskies.

   The Refuge Steakhouse & Bourbon Bar offers an exceptional dining experience. We tried the steak flight, and each cut was cooked to perfection, showcasing top-tier flavors and tenderness. Our server also recommended a special staff-made soup, which turned out to be a delightful surprise—rich, comforting, and full of depth. To top it all off, the cocktails were expertly crafted, providing the perfect finishing touch to our meal. The combination of great food, attentive service, and creative drinks makes The Refuge a must-visit for steak and bourbon lovers.

   First time at refuge and the food was excellent. Large choice of entrees, wonderfully cooked at a price point slightly less expensive than a Perry’s or killian’s and a more jovial atmosphere. We had the short ribs and the scallops which were both cooked exceptionally. Great restaurant for any occasion. Will definitely make it a regular stop.

   The Refuge Steakhouse exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a delightful evening. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive. Now, let's talk about the food! The steak was cooked to perfection, tender and bursting with flavor. Each bite was a testament to their culinary expertise. The sides were equally impressive, complementing the main dishes beautifully. To top it all off, the dessert was a heavenly finish to an already fantastic meal. Overall, The Refuge Steakhouse is a gem that offers an unforgettable dining experience. We can't wait to return!
