   Love the vibe of this place, very upbeat. The food is delicious and different than most places on the island. The rum cake for dessert, outstanding!

   We are so happy to be back on the island to enjoy this establishment. The food is unique and very different from all the other restaurants. It’s a welcome delight to eat here. Already have our reservations to eat here again before we leave. You won’t be disappointed by the food.

   Well, this was a different experience than what we had 5 months ago. The music was blasting and we had to ask three times to turn it down. The service was incredibly slow and appetizers came out after some entrees, etc. The portions were tiny and overpriced. My mango mahi mahi did not have any mango anywhere. The drinks were solid but that was it. Really disappointed as we loved it on our first visit here. And we own a house here and want to recommend the best places to people to visit but this will not make that list now. I hope they can improve… some of the dishes were awesome the first time. Has great potential.

   Our party order appetizers and each order a different entree. Every dish was excellent. Our only regret was it was our last night and we wouldn’t be able to dine here a second time. Our waitress was sweet and attentive. They were very busy so we understood the evening might take a little extra time and it did. I was looking forward to dessert but was too full to order any. If you like flavorful exciting food don’t miss out on trying The Refinery.

    Great memorable experience. We had a family of 7 for birthday dinner. Cocktails were unique and delicious. Inventive Caribbean inspired dishes. We ordered a bunch of appetizers they were all great especially chicken drumsticks. Lobster was absolutely delicious and a huge portion. None of us was vegan, but we ordered Trinidad Two dish and it was delicious. We sat at a table on the sidewalk and really enjoyed it. It felt like a European terrace cafe, very lively people watching and colorful local taxis driving by. Service was very friendly and informal but well executed. It seems that they worked as a team, we had couple of people taking our orders and bringing drinks and dishes. All in all wonderful experience and the best meal of our St. John family vacation.
