After hearing many good things about this restaurant, we arrived at 5:20 PM.. The dining room was empty and the patio on the roof had only one other table occupied. We waited thirteen minutes before anyone took our drink orders. We order coffee which was very good but the cups were filthy. We complained. The server apologized and brought us slightly cleaner cups. The salad arrived in a reasonable time frame and it was somewhat different. It contained chunks of butternut squash and was quite good. But, then, we waited and wai... read more

He was arrogant from the start. M... read more

One of if not Tampa's best!!!! – What can I say about this place? Just that they have the most AMAZING food in Tampa. I am an extremely picky eater and The Refinery has not let me down yet. The Poutine (dont' know what that is?? Try it and you'll be hooked) is out of this world!! I literally salivate thinking about what the menu will be like this week. The food is FRESH and menu changes every week as they only buy what is fresh and local. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is tops!!! No better place in Tampa to chill w... read more
