Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Last Refuge offers an enchanting dining experience in a beautifully renovated church. Guests praise the "stunning setting" and "amazing architecture." The pizza and cocktails receive high marks for flavor and creativity. While service is often friendly, there are occasional lapses in efficiency. A "must-go" spot for its unique ambiance and tasty menu.

    Everything was great except sitting on a sofa and eating food from a coffee table. It needs to be clarified in reservation table options that a standard table is sofa seating.

    Waitress didn't put our appetizer order in. We eventually went to the bar to get a pitcher of water to refill our glasses. We would all have liked to try another cocktail, but our waitress didn't return after she delivered our food. Had to somewhat embarrassingly wave her down to even get our check. Not near the experience it should have been.

    Food and drinks were amazing! We tried the Madonna pizza, the Mary sandwich, and the Fleur de Lis dip. All were amazing with great flavor. The cocktails were delicious. The setting was stunning. Highly recommend!

    This venue is truly beautiful. The bar is probably the prettiest I’ve ever seen. The service was good but a little confusion over a pour which the server corrected and was greatly appreciated. I think the food could be elevated just a touch.

    This place is a 'must go' restaurant! Amazing architecture, curated set list was mint for me. (Allman Bros, Grateful Dead, Led Zepplin, Gerry Rafferty) Drinks and food were A+
