First time, nice bar, liked the menu. Spicy tuna taartare wasn’t great but okay. I’d return for apps and a big salad. Happy to see it’s busy. Good addition to the neighborhood.

The Refectory is a beautiful dining spot. The food and service were very good. I would definitely return. The only less than ideal factor was the noise. It's rather boisterous.

Good food as always, however, should bring back the original breakfast hash browns. New replacement is disappointing. Very likely that the original hash browns were very labor intensive. :(
