Excellent food and service was good. Would have given five stars except the service was very slow. Our friendly server didn’t have time for us.

Dinner was good, but really small portions for the price. My son ordered filet and received 4 individual slices of meat. Another pasta entree was maybe a spoonful or two and didn’t fill the entire bowl. Overflow from the bar caused people with drinks to stand next to our table while we were eating and they were just hanging out drinking. All in all, better restaurants around campus for dinner.

Cocktails, Beer and Food very good. Kevin, our waiter was also very good. Be prepared for a loud dining experience though. Lots of screaming babies on a Saturday Night.
The RefectoryA répondu le 3 décembre 2024
Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cocktails, beer, and food, as well as Kevin’s service. We do understand that our Saturday nights can get a bit lively, and we appreciate your patience with the noise.

This restaurant is a surprising little gem! We didn’t even realize it was on Villanova’s campus until we got close. Amazing atmosphere and friendly people that work there. Beautiful campus. The food was fantastic!! Highly recommend.

Food was just OK, I would stay away from the mahi tacos… more breading than fish. I mentioned it to the server and he told me I “might of just got a bad piece” without offering to replace the food or remove from bill. No happy hour because of home Villanova basketball game. Everything a bit over priced. Probably won’t be back

An amazing hidden gem in the middle of Villanova campus. As a visiting team fan, we found the staff to be lovely and location to be perfect for the game. The menu was incredible and prices were quite fair. The food was absolutely delicious! Our waitress (from Boothwyn) was delightful and friendly and offered great suggestions. The bar was able to produce any drink and did a fine job! We ordered the champagne breakfast special and loved it. The bloody mary's were delicious as well! Had avocado flat bread, shrimp and grits, eggs Benedict, chicken and waffles... Each was DELICIOUS!! You must order the mini donuts for dessert! IF YOU'RE EVER IN VILLANOVA LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO EAT, YOU MUST GO HERE!!

Met up with a longtime friend for a long overdue lunch. We chose The Refectory since it was mid way between our two homes. This was the first time each of had dined there and the experience was very enjoyable. Food, service, and atmosphere were all great. Definitely a return visit will be in the works.
