The only downside was that the two hostesses were somewhat unfriendly. However, the food was excellent, the service was attentive, and the venue had a lovely ambiance.

I’m really disappointed with our recent experience. My best friend and I used to love coming here, but the constant menu changes have been frustrating, and the current options just don’t measure up. It’s hard to understand why some of the best items were removed and replaced with mediocre ones. Unfortunately, I think today was our last visit to the Refectory.
