Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Mount Pocono / Pocono Manor

Strip steak was excellent, but it should be for the price and the portion size. There is no more complementary bread basket – you need to pay $16 for Parker house rolls dessert which was the apple cobbler was missing the whipped cream.

The staff was extremely accommodating, helpful, friendly and personable from the time I first made our reservation to the time we left after our meal. Everything we ate was outstanding and clearly prepared with such fine attention to detail; the food was flavorful without being overpowering (get the meatballs!!!), and the presentations were beautiful, right down to the dessert spoons they brought out creatively arranged on a platter! Our waitress, Liz, was probably the best server we’ve ever encountered in a restaurant. She was so pleasant, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, all while being funny and down-to-earth. We were seated near the kitchen which wasn’t ideal, and at one point we were very aware of the music having too much of a “club vibe,” which wasn’t to our taste, but neither of these “negatives” ruined our dining experience by any means. In fact, we made another reservation on our way out! While on the pricier side, The Refinery does live up to the hype!

Fabulous dinner- great drinks- fun waiter- loved it!!!! Will go again!!

It was a cold and quiet evening. The fireplace was warm and inviting. The staff was warm and welcoming. Our waitstaff was a delight, full of information and insights and details - our perfect guide through the tasty evening ahead. Our beverages yummy and as warming and complementary to our meal as the staff and fire. And our meal was tasty and comforting as well as exciting in new directions taken. So many inviting offerings, we will have to return more frequently and not just for special occasions. Thank you all - and special thanks to Grace who really helped to make it a special night.

Simply the best if you a seafood lover - all food is freshly made, extensive menu, for the fraction of restaurant bill. Will go back definitely 😁
