The Refuge

We had such a great experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to Val. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and truly hospitable. She had an incredible ability to recommend dishes based on exactly what we were in the mood for, and every recommendation was on point. The Spicy Rigatoni with the Fried Burrata that she suggested for me was absolutely amazing. You can tell she pays attention to detail and genuinely cares about the guest experience because she was more than accommodating with everything we needed throughout dinner. As someone who works in the hospitality indus

Loved the atmosphere in here! They had great music playing, making it a fun environment. The food and drinks were good and we got them both pretty fast! However, the waitress was not as attentive and took forever to come back with certain things, including the check. She also said she would send someone over to collect our empty plates, but when we left the restaurant our plates were still on the table. This usually wouldn’t be an issue but we were ordering dessert for the table and it was hard to share with so many dirty plates in the way. Overall great experience though, I will be returning!

The restaurant is very big and spacious. They also have an area for private parties. The food is a good portion and delicious. I had the crispy shrimp poboy but my friends had the pasta with chicken, meatballs and sausage. That was really good.

Every appetizer and every entrée was prepared with such care that it felt like enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal in the very best sense. Every dish we tried was exceptional, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful everything tasted. The staff was equally impressive. They were warm, polite, attentive, and incredibly efficient. They made
