★★★★★ 5.0 Annika Borovansky · Feb 2026

We celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday with the most beautiful five-course dinner at The Refectory Restaurant & Bistro, and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was intimate, elegant, and perfectly boujie — romantic lighting, refined décor, and an atmosphere that made the entire evening feel incredibly special. It struck the perfect balance between upscale and cozy, ideal for a birthday celebration. The chef absolutely outdid himself with this five-course experience. The mushroom veal was rich, tender, and layered with deep, earthy flavor — comforting yet elevated. The Wagyu was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, beautifully marbled and buttery with an impeccable sear. The seafood crepe was delicate and decadent, filled with fresh seafood and wrapped in a light

My partner and I enjoyed the tasting menu the other night. The experience was amazing. The staff were courteous (Thank you Michelle for taking us along for each dish and helping me pick a great gin cocktail to end the night on) and the food... WOW!! Every new plate was an adventure on the tastebuds. While nothing disappointed, the Arctic Char Crêpe Vonaissienne was so good it managed to stand out to me! I am not going to forget that dish any time soon. Thank you Refectory! I hope to make it back to listen to live jazz soon!

We were seated promptly when we arrived on time for our dinner reservation. The purpose of the dinner was to celebrate my wife's birthday. A birthday card for my wife waiting for us at the table was a warm, personable touch. Juan, our server, was fantastic - warm, personable, highly knowledgeable, attentive, caring, and professional. The epitome of a 5-star waiter. The food was incredible! The best flavors and combinations my wife and I have ever experienced. As a gluten free diner, the French bread was delicious with the best texture of any GF bread I have enjoyed. The chef not only accommodated our request for dishes served without pork or shellfish, but excelled at delicious, intriguing, and inspired creations. Bravo! On our way out, the owner, Kamal, graciously greeted us and

We loved celebrating an anniversary here. I liked that one of us could order the tasting menu and the other could order a la carte. Great service. I feel like its a great place to try unique food and celebrate a special occasion.

The Refectory is truly a culinary experience and a must visit for anyone who loves or wants to experience a fine dining. The combination and depth of flavors were unlike anything I have had previously taking my breath away at the first bite of the entree. The entire staff was exceptional from the coat check to the hostes to the waiter all providing a wonderful dining experience. We had ordered 2 drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts plus the bread basket and our bill was under $200 which for the quality of food and service was outstanding value. Look forward to making another return journey to try the chefs 5 course tasting menu
