Best Casual Restaurants in Scranton

The staff was extremely accommodating, helpful, friendly and personable from the time I first made our reservation to the time we left after our meal. Everything we ate was outstanding and clearly prepared with such fine attention to detail; the food was flavorful without being overpowering (get the meatballs!!!), and the presentations were beautiful, right down to the dessert spoons they brought out creatively arranged on a platter! Our waitress, Liz, was probably the best server we’ve ever encountered in a restaurant. She was so pleasant, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, all while being funny and down-to-earth. We were seated near the kitchen which wasn’t ideal, and at one point we were very aware of the music having too much of a “club vibe,” which wasn’t to our taste, but neither of these “negatives” ruined our dining experience by any means. In fact, we made another reservation on our way out! While on the pricier side, The Refinery does live up to the hype!

Ambience is always relaxing and comfortable. Waitstaff is always fantastic hours. Today was great. She was polite, professional, and knowledgeable. The apple salad was excellent with chicken as well as the breakfast bowl with couscous broccoli rabe and salmon. Coffee was fresh iced tea Pellegrino everything was excellent so glad they’re open on a Monday when they’re so little to choose from this place is a 10 for sure 

sunday brunch was delicious! great drinks, food atmosphere. Alivia was a lovely server.

The food and drink menu are great. The meals are well prepared and tasty! We enjoyed our visit.

We each enjoyed the signature salad. My husband had the filet. very tender and tasty. I had the special Asian short ribs. Very good.
