Everything was fantastic at The Refectory. It is on campus, so our parking was validated for the on campus parking garage, which was nice. The service and food was terrific, and the seasonal cocktails and menu items were a nice touch. We visited for my wife's birthday and the food from appetizers, to entrees, to dessert were delicious.

Such great food and service! Seriously. Salmon BLT is enormous and delicious and the harvest salad with salmon was amazing. It’s relatively loud during Friday lunch but still a great vibe. I’ll be back!

We ordered salads with chicken and salmon. They served us the wrong salads and had to send them back and remake them. Finally we were served the correct dinner except it it was so salty we couldn’t eat it so we never ate anything. The manager came over and he was quite nice. The manager did give us dessert which was not so great! I never had a meal where everything just was so bad ! That being said the food was terrible and I would never go back!
The RefectoryA répondu le 12 novembre 2024
Thanks for the feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your recent experience at The Refectory. It's disappointing to hear that you had to go through such inconvenience due to mix-ups with our orders and the subsequent need to remake your salads. We also apologize for the delay in service, and we're sorry to hear that the dessert was not up to your expectations. Your feedback is invaluable and we will certainly take it into account please reach out to our GM so we can hopefully make it better.
