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.

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!
