Met up with a longtime friend for a long overdue lunch. We chose The Refectory since it was mid way between our two homes. This was the first time each of had dined there and the experience was very enjoyable. Food, service, and atmosphere were all great. Definitely a return visit will be in the works.

We can't say enough about how wonderful the service was. We had a 2 and 5 year old with us and the servers could not have more attentive. The food was excellent as always. We enjoy the dining room for a little more fine dining and the patio for a little more upscale casual. Kudos General Warren Team!

I go to the Brick and Brew at least once a month. The service especially Antonio is excellent! However since my last visit the drinks have more ice than water ice, and the food is less than average. Use to love the Brick and Brew no so much anymore. Must point out that the service is excellent!
