    The salad, main course, and desert all excellent. I would go back just for the French Toast desert. I had a lobster/pasta main course that was excellent, and the goat cheese salad couldn't be beat. Good service on a very busy Valentine night. Parking is the only problem, so allow a little extra time to find a parking spot on or just off the busy Frankfort Ave., and bring an umbrella if it is raining. Highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions where budget is not a consideration.

    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.

    Brown hotel is a beautiful setting for a date night. Valentine’s Day was very special and memorable to spend with the restaurant staff. Grace who we were lucky enough to have for the second time took such wonderful care of us. Food and specialty cocktails were excellent.

    I came in and celebrated Galentine’s with two of my closest friends. The food was phenomenal, and the drinks were great! Now, our server AJ Calvin seemed disoriented and behind when he came and greeted our table. When he first introduced himself, he stated he was the host and would be bringing us water, which left us slightly confused about whether he was specifically our server or just a host. It also took a while to take our drink and appetizer orders. Once asked if he was our server, he swiftly corrected us and said he prefers to be called a host rather than a server. From there, the experience started to decline when he told jokes that honestly weren’t funny or humorous; his jokes bordered on unprofessional. Maybe he was having an off day, but his inability to read the table throughout the entire service left a lasting negative impression.
