I visited this establishment with my family. The food was great and the service was great up until the bar area became crowded. Our server was tending to us and was also the bartender. So when the bar became busy he forgot about us. I had to hunt down a manager just to get the check and a box for our leftovers because he never came back to the table to check in. If the service didn’t go downhill I think it would’ve been a 5 star experience because the food was DELICIOUS!

Dressing for the salad was missing. For some reason, it took three request in about 15 minutes to get dressing. I guess it was just one of those one time mixups hopefully the food was fine but not great

With so many restaurants in the area, we had not been to The Refectory in a while. Our server Baylee was excellent. He was personable and made great recommendations. Our water was refilled without asking and quickly. The Burger was excellent and the nova fries were delicious,but the night was really made talking to Baylee. We will definitely be going back soon. This is on our highly recommended list.

Food and drinks were tasty. We were seated away from other tables and we appreciated the low-key atmosphere and noise level. Wait service was pleasant.

The service was good but slow. The food was very good and nice portions. The drinks were very overpriced for the amount of alcohol in them.
