it was certainly an experience, an astonishing venue which was absolutely buzzing, not a venue if you want to go for a quiet chat! Service was impeccable, wine service in particular and each course was delicately presented and utterly delicious, it was a memorable occasion with dancers and indoor fireworks at one point, loads of fun and energy and go with deep pockets!

Great experience at Refuge, one of the best restaurants in Manchester. It has been a while since I last visited but it did not disappoint, the food was tasty and the service was attentive. Our needs were met and we were not rushed. The setting and atmosphere makes this place. The prices seem higher but it is worth the trip, the menu also seems to have reduced but still a great selection of dishes.
