   Although the table location wasn’t accommodated, the server’s hospitality made up for the gaff. She was terrific. Overall, the food was very tasty. Desserts also appeared to be made in house and delicious. We’ll return.

   Everything was a 10/10! They were even accommodating when I needed to adjust my reservation.

   From start to finish everything was absolutely amazing. I almost forgot I was in Pittston. The restaurant is beautifully decorated- the chairs, silverware, checkbooks, etc made the most perfect touches. The waitress was extremely knowledgeable and since it was our first time, went over the whole menu and gave great recommendations. Also, we had so many different staff members come up and touch our table. It was such a busy night, but you would have never known with how the staff treated us. The focaccia was our favorite, I don’t think I’ll ever get over how amazing the bread was. We also had the octopus, which was to die for. The next course was the ceasar salad, which was almost perfect, but a little too salty. Entrees were the short rib and the veal ravioli, both absolutely delicious. Best short rib I’ve ever had! We ended up getting 3 desserts to try- pine berry tart, olive oil cake, and an apple dessert. We were OBSESSED with the pine berry tart. I cannot wait to return! I’ll be looking out for reservations every day!!

   Honestly, it was nothing to write home about and not worth the three month wait. The service was impeccable, but the steak was cold and I could’ve made the pasta at home. The noise level was off the charts. Everyone was trying to talk over the music. Will give it another try in a few months. Maybe it was an off night.

   Great food and ambiance. Great food, great drink menu. Amazing time for dinner. It's in high demand and hard to get reservations with need to plan weeks(s) to month(s) in advance but totally worth it.

   I had the best meal at the Refinery this weekend. Everything from start to finish was absolutely delicious. The waitress was fantastic and the overall ambience was very nice. I would highly recommend the Refinery to anyone looking for an elevated dining experience in NEPA.

   Second visit. Terrific food. Attentive service. Quite loud. Skimpy martini. Wasn't permitted to stand at the bar; was told it's reserved for ... others.

   What a great experience!! Easily one of the best dinners my husband and I ever had!! I just wish we could get in sooner when it comes to reservations as they are booked out for months- that is the only negative. Otherwise the place is AMAZING!
