    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!

    The food was actually pretty good. Unfortunately, they wait to get it span beyond 2 hrs after being seated. (With two toddlers). I'll take some of the blame for thinking that a holiday restaurant event would be a good idea. My next visit will be during an off-peak time with hopes of a better experience. I still think the whiskey and food are worth a second chance.

    Another great dinner at Refuge! The food and drinks were outstanding, but what really stood out was Nick’s exceptional service—attentive, personable, and consistently excellent. He always makes the experience even better. And of course, kudos to Pablo and Luis for keeping everything running like clockwork. Looking forward to the next visit!

    Excellent service. We sat at the bar and visited with the bartenders which elevated our experience there. We go often to Refuge during the summer and sit outside and enjoy the variety of bands and singers they bring in on weekends.
