- LLaurenToronto / Ontario •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoAbsolutely spectacular service and vibe. We were more high maintenance than I’d typically like due to food allergies and preferences and they were absolutely amazing. Food was very good (ribeye sooo good) and very well priced considering what you get. The restaurant and hotel are just beautifully furnished and the Reno did wonders. Come here if you want to feel like you’re in the city ❤️More infoLegacy RestaurantPrice: Very Expensive• European• Sarnia•4.7

- PPattiToronto / Ontario •1 review5.0Dined on Feb 16, 2025We had family members come from out of town and they wanted to try some craft beers. We suggested Refined Fool as it was near their hotel. We were well received and the young lady that hosted us was excellent and doted on our relatives. We had a really good time and the price point on the meals were affordable.More infoDavis - Craft Kitchen and BarPrice: Expensive• Comfort Food• Sarnia•4.8
