We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our Thanksgiving dinner. We rarely go out on holidays but specifically chose General Warren for their ambience and consistently great food and service. We were very happy with our choice. We will be back again soon.

Ambiance is great, cocktails were great. Service was excellent. Menu was (as usual) a little disappointing. Conventional and uninspired especially on the healthier front.

We had Sunday brunch and it was our first experience at this restaurant! We had a quiet booth which was nice and secluded. Nick our waiter explained the entire menu which was nice that he spent extra time with us. We started with a small loaf of cornbread which was warm with soft butter . We had the Bellini bouquet which was 6 champagne style glasses with three different kinds of Bellinis ! We had lots of fun sampling them. Our breakfast food was outstanding as well as our dessert of pumpkin cake and a sundae! I would definitely come back again for brunch but would like to try lunch or dinner next time .

Met up with a longtime friend for a long overdue lunch. We chose The Refectory since it was mid way between our two homes. This was the first time each of had dined there and the experience was very enjoyable. Food, service, and atmosphere were all great. Definitely a return visit will be in the works.
