With so many restaurants in the area, we had not been to The Refectory in a while. Our server Baylee was excellent. He was personable and made great recommendations. Our water was refilled without asking and quickly. The Burger was excellent and the nova fries were delicious,but the night was really made talking to Baylee. We will definitely be going back soon. This is on our highly recommended list.

Food and drinks were tasty. We were seated away from other tables and we appreciated the low-key atmosphere and noise level. Wait service was pleasant.

The service was good but slow. The food was very good and nice portions. The drinks were very overpriced for the amount of alcohol in them.

Great collegiate environment with excellent food. Additionally, the menu included options to cover our vegan and our gluten free friends, which are two very big checkboxes for us. We will be back.

The service was very slow. There was a giant party that created a lot of noise! The Citrus Winter salad did not have some of the the ingredients listed on the menu such as granola. I asked the waiter if the salad has cheese in it because I can’t eat most dairy products and he assured me that there is no cheese in this salad. It had chunks of soft cheese in it!! Luckily I was able to remove them in time. It did have mostly bitter endive and very little of the rest. The Salmon that was listed on under “Large Plates” came indeed on a large plate but otherwise the serving was very small. The desert was very good.
