    We loved eating here Christmas Eve! We sat outside and it was perfect—nice and cool along with a heater. The steak trio was excellent, the waiter was wonderful, and the drinks we had were delicious as well. I loved the Blackberry drink that was featured, as well as the chocolate martini. My hysband loved the Old-fashioned, as well as the Peanut Butter Bliss. The sommelier even came out to deliver the drinks and answered our questions about them. We will definitely be back again

    I have been to refuge a number of times and had one bad dining experience. However, this trip was not that one. Our food was out of sight, and the drinks were spot on. Our server, Kaitlyn, was amazing. She is very knowledgeable and super nice. Everyone was involved, and the atmosphere was beautiful. 10 out of 10

    We were rated in a smaller room with a fireplace with about 5 other tables. It could have been a beautiful location but the fireplace was off and the acoustics of the room caused all sounds to reverberate in the room. Needless to say, it was VERY loud.
