    The best thing about the Refuge is the customer care experience - they always make sure to check on you and ensure you have an optimal time. We will continue to go back.

    So overall this is a nice place. Definitely better than average food and service. The short rib and the pork chop were great. The pork belly appetizer was good but NOT worth the money though: 5 small pieces for $16? No sir. The desserts were good (awesome presentation for the rum bread pudding one) but not necessarily gonna blow your socks off. In terms of pricing, I would say it is comparable or little below the competition. Ambience is nice and the whiskey/bourbon list is extensive. Lacey was our server and she took great care of us. Overall 4/5 stars and yes I would go back…probably for lunch…the price may be more reasonable then.

    Food very average. Nothing to rave about, everything quite bland. The truffle fries had no ‘truffle’ flavor. Expensive for what you got.

    Very traditional steakhouse menu, outdoor space a bit underwhelming and live music outdoors. Of course great selection of whiskey, bourbon and rye if that’s your style. Great service at the bar.
