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 shared a personal connection with my wife.
Congratulations to nearly 50 years of culinary & service excellence.My wife and I eagerly look forward to dining at The Refectory again in the near future.

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

The Refectory continues to set the bar for fine dining. The kitchen has a mastery over balanced flavors; nothing is too heavy or too muted, just pure culinary harmony. From the appetizers to the final course, the execution was flawless. The staff is professional, knowledgeable, and makes you feel truly special from the moment you walk in. A must-visit for any occasion.

We immensely enjoyed our time here! Days later, our party of five is still talking about the wonderful meal we each had and how wonderful the evening was at the Refractory. Just look: Each course was beautifully displayed and delicious! I’m now a fan of French cuisine! Our waitstaff, Dom, could not have been more excellent and we would request him next time!

I came here to celebrate my birthday, and The Refectory did not disappoint. Every plate was beautifully presented and full of flavor—elegant without being fussy. The bisque was rich, the ratatouille vibrant, and the sea bass absolutely perfect.
They even brought out a personalized dessert with a candle—small gesture, big impact.
Service was thoughtful, the ambiance felt special, and the night was unforgettable. Definitely recommend for a celebration or a quiet, elevated night out.

I took my wife here on anniversary. We made the reservation(must have) and when we arrived they had our names printed on a happy anniversary card waiting at our table. Its the little things that make this place really stand out. The real fire burning in the fireplace. I had the antelope, wife had the lamb. Amazing. Very friendly staff. Dont hesitate. Bring someone special.

Dinner at this restaurant was a fantastic experience. From the start, our waitress, Michelle, was awesome. She was extremely professional yet down to earth, easy to talk to, and always made sure we were taken care of all the way down to even replacing my girlfriends wine glass without prompt because “it wasn’t polished to her liking”. The food was fantastic, presented beautifully, cooked perfectly, and seasoned in a way in which it’s impossible to imagine it being prepared any better. The wine pairing was fantastic, the gentleman that brought out the wines gave brief yet informative descriptions of each wine before pouring. We ended up buying 2 bottles to take home with us. The experience overall was the best we’ve ever had at any restaurant. Private, intimate, romantic, upscale and overall relaxing and enjoyable. We will be back soon.

What a beautiful evening at the Refectory! The food is always incredible and the ambiance is charming. But this night was very special because we were lucky enough to see and hear Najoura singing Christmas music. What a gift!
