   Excellent food and service. Waiter was very patient with elderly customers. We accidentally dropped a glass of water. Multiple staff member rushed over to help us. Relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable dinner.

   Service a little slow throughout the meal (and restaurant was not that crowded). Particularly when we first sat down.

   Niko, our waiter was amazing and very accommodating. We are all foodies and hadn’t seen each other in a while & were out for a Ladies Night Out. Niko tried not to interrupt and was very patient & kind when he had to interrupt to take our order and refills for cocktails. I own a restaurant myself and respected how well he delivered everything from food to service! We had various appetizers, food selections & cocktails and every single one of them was exceptional. We all live very close by to the restaurant and will definitely return!

   My wife and I stopped in for a quick midweek dinner. My wife ordered the burger sliders, I ordered their signature burger. The food was at best average and given the prices…I would have a hard time going back or recommending. There is way better value at many places 1 mile west in Wayne or 1 mile east in Bryn Mawr.

   Great food, table spilt a bunch of apps (mussels, crab cakes, bread basket, nova fries); all were very good, crab cakes were a favorite. Wine/drink list is good, everyone’s entrees were good as well. It was lively, but not super loud. Had a casual, upscale vibe - everyone dressed well, but not super stuffy (tried my best at explaining that).

    Delicious drinks and food. Our server, Eric and his trainee, were amazing. The bartenders are on point with their craft and skills. This is not a place for children so be advised. The ricotta doughnuts with the blueberry jam will make you slap your momma!

    Loved the food and cocktails. Didn’t appreciate that parking is not validated as the restaurant is on the campus.

    The RefectoryHa risposto il 9 marzo 2023Hello! We are so glad to hear your recent experience at The Refectory was great. Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. Though we are on-campus, we are a separate business from the University. Unfortunately the University does not currently validate for our customers BUT we are happy to report that we are in talks with the school to bring this service back. The validation system had been abused by the prior operators of the restaurant who are no longer in business. Thankfully, it costs a few dollars at most and we do have this information posted on our website, so we try to give our customers as much of a heads up about it as we can. We look forward to hosting you again in the very near future. Cheers and be well!

    Wonderful food and the staff were great! Cocktails and food were delicious, I will definitely be going back to try more items on the menu! It was difficult to figure out how to get in if coming from the parking garage across the street since it is in the bottom of a dorm building.

    I have hearing issues and my request to be seated in a quieter part of the restaurant was promptly accommodated. Much appreciated. I was also impressed that the first question asked by the server was about allergies, since I have severe ones. The quiche was delicious - as was the tasty side salad. I will be copying the way the cukes were sliced! Looking forward to returning to the Refectory.

    Refectory has all the great food from Ripplewood (Ardmore) but with a very nice spacious restaurant atmosphere and superb service. Don’t sleep on the Brussels sprouts. And the Tuna Pizza is a nice homage to the Morimoto classic.

    The Refectory was superb! We went on a fairly busy Friday night at prime dining time. Our server was EXCELLENT. I believe his name was Kyle. He had a tremendous knowledge of the menu & he was very detailed and attentive. He even made sure it was okay with us before he offered our daughter a refill on her Shirley Temple! I don't usually write reviews, but Kyle truly went above and beyond. The food was also quite delicious & came out efficiently. The drinks were strong and very good. This restaurant was extremely well-run from the front of the house to the back of the house & everything in between. We truly appreciated the job our server did. What a great way to end our busy week. We will definitely be back!! It almost felt like the good days of restaurant dining in 2019 before the pandemic. They made it worthwhile to park in a parking garage (in the suburbs?!?). ;)

    the waiter would not let two couples have separate checks!!! so we ended up having to haggle with friends who drink and those who don't.. never have had this happen before...

    The RefectoryHa risposto il 4 marzo 2023Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback here. We are a bit confused, because we allow check splitting for any party. Our only limit is that we can not split a check more than six ways. We addressed your review and concern at our staff-wide meeting yesterday, and no one is quite sure what happened in this particular case- there must have been a miscommunication between your party and our staff. We apologize for the inconvenience but we assure you that check-splitting is a standard practice at our establishment. Thanks, and we hope to see you hack again soon.

    We tried the Refectory on a cold Saturday night in early February. The energy in this Villanova focused place was good; students at the bar, lot of families but also couples enjoying the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our server (Hannah) was friendly and attentive. Menu was eclectic and we tried three appetizers (Figs with bacon, cheddar broccoli soup and mussels) and a spring mix salad. Everything was excellent except the overdressed salad. Wine list was strong and we were offered tasting of ones we were curious about. This is a very nice place that should work for many.
