Our bartender and waitress Madison was a joy. Our dinner choices were fantastic and the drinks she made were incredible. She made the best espresso martini ever. This is my new favorite place. Please bring back the deviled eggs

Great collegiate environment with excellent food. Additionally, the menu included options to cover our vegan and our gluten free friends, which are two very big checkboxes for us. We will be back.

The service was very slow. There was a giant party that created a lot of noise! The Citrus Winter salad did not have some of the the ingredients listed on the menu such as granola. I asked the waiter if the salad has cheese in it because I can’t eat most dairy products and he assured me that there is no cheese in this salad. It had chunks of soft cheese in it!! Luckily I was able to remove them in time. It did have mostly bitter endive and very little of the rest. The Salmon that was listed on under “Large Plates” came indeed on a large plate but otherwise the serving was very small. The desert was very good.

You wouldn't think a restaurant on Villanova's campus is the best brunch spot on the Main Line...but it is! Delicious food (lots of options), strong service and a gorgeous almost art-deco room. Every time we go there its great. We forgot to check if there was a Villanova Bball game today (there was!) but we were still able to find parking easily and the game was at noon so everyone cleared out just as we were sitting for our 11:30am reservations...probably wouldn't want to be there at 10:30am (unless you wanted to join the fun looking pregame happening at the bar!) but afterwards was perfect bunch atmosphere.

First time, nice bar, liked the menu. Spicy tuna taartare wasn’t great but okay. I’d return for apps and a big salad. Happy to see it’s busy. Good addition to the neighborhood.

The Refectory is a beautiful dining spot. The food and service were very good. I would definitely return. The only less than ideal factor was the noise. It's rather boisterous.
