    Our food and service was outstanding. Their was live music when we first arrived, and it was a little loud for my taste, but that would be my only "complaint." They validate parking and have $5 valet, so don't waste time looking for parking. Very cool downtown dining experience. I had a wedge salad with chicken and my wife had the Bolognese - 10/10. I've had several steaks as well, and they are fantastic! I'm looking forward to trying the short rib pot roast - a table near us had it and it looked amazing.

    Such an amazing meal and the best service. My best friend and I had dinner while our husbands were at an event in the hotel. We asked our server to help us space out our meal to match the event timeline. She was amazing - gave us great recommendations for each course and was so kind to let us have a leisurely diner. An all around great experience!

    62nd Wedding anniversary We celebrated as a family for our mom and dad’s anniversary. Ask for Daniela she did a great job for our family tonight. All the food was great as usual. If you get the skillet cookie for dessert. I recommend getting two scoops of vanilla ice cream and skip the chocolate ice cream. Great dessert but they all are great.

    This was my first time at The Last Refuge, and I had a great experience. Staff were amazing and attentive even though it was a busy night. It would be nice to see a couple more items on the menu, maybe more pasta items, as the one looked good. The appetizer, salad, and pizza was really good. I would love to come back when the weather is warmer as it looked like there was a nice patio. Overall, it was a very nice night and will come back.
