“Just home from a Wednesday evening dinner at The Refinery. I strongly recommend the kale salad and pumpkin agnolotti. A delicious combination of flavors..... fresh greens with tangy dressing, and the most tender agnolotti with fresh pumpkin sweetness. Good food for the soul, cozy atmosphere, and welcoming staff. Thank you, Kathy”

“Lisa is a first class manager and truly focuses on ensuring each guest has a wonderful experience. Food and service is always fantastic. My husband and I have been frequenting this location for nearly 10 years and it’s still one of our favorite restaurants.”

“One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time! The place is absolutely beautiful, the food is phenomenal, and the mocktails were perfect. The staff was incredible — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. And Gabe, the manager, is truly exceptional and made us feel like VIPs. I had the Goat Cheese & Ricotta Cavatelli for my entrée and the Flourless Chocolate Torte for dessert. Everything was just amazing from start to finish. We can’t wait to go back!”

“Lynn Sandy made our wedding cake and it was stunning and delicious!! It was everything we wanted!!”

“We're on board with, and on record as saying to all our friends that, MVD is our favorite spot. But since we like trying new places too, we had to come back for the first time in over a year. It's not just the variety of tapas options, or the incredible wine selection, or the impeccable hospitality that will keep you coming back; it's the culinary journey rarely taken where the food transports you and you just sit back speechless thinking, “that was IT, where has this been?” You'll leave completely stuffed, and they'll be drinks… lots of drinks; but the concoctions are adventurous and more than worth trying a few of, and that's before you get to the wine list. They know their stuff; they travel the world to find inspiration for their own curated menu, but bring lesser-known varietals to the forefront that really challenge your palate and leave you needing to speak directly to the associate at the wine and spirits store, in the best way possible. If you have an unoaked chardonnay available, I immediately like you! You don't have to wait long once you order for those tasty shareable plates to come firing out; they're quick, efficient but also know how to help you pace your meal. Funny thing about this meal (that we shared with another couple we go touring with) is that it turned into a Catholic-guided, Lent-abiding seafood extravaganza, which was not necessarily our goal on approach. I love when a place really surprises you with things you wouldn't typically think to pair together or even order, and they become some of your favorite things altogether. Case in point, the escargot; most escargot I've ever had was rubbery, soaked in butter and masked with garlic. None of that was going on here, and they even did the work for you with the shells. Anything fried (empanadas, yuca fries, oysters, seabass tacos) had a very even, full but thin breading. Not a trace of residual oil, nothing heavy about it and still the right temp inside to not blast the filling. I really enjoyed the oysters, and the pickled radish and shallot would be good as an accompaniment for ANYTHING. The chimichurri is spot on, and anytime it appears on the menu, which it does several times, you should get those items. The butter sauce with a camarones was drinkable, the empanadas never disappoint, and the almond tart with wine-poached pears for dessert was literal perfection. Overall, our favorite drink was the Holy Smokes and they have a team-oriented approach to presenting dishes table side. Fun and friendly, the staff is knowledgeable, patient and has great personal recommendations, all with legit culinary knowledge. Go…like, now!”

“We took my son last night for his birthday and as a family what a wonderful experience! Atmosphere was great. The wait staff is very tentative along with the owner. The food was delicious. We all enjoyed our meals, best penne à la vodka around the area! We definitely will be going back! At the end of our service we complimented how great everything was and we were celebrating our son’s 16th birthday and the owner and his staff came and surprised my son on their own with a piece of cake and sang to him! Genuinely good people!”

“Excellent service, Richard was so nice! Food is always great!! Best kept secret! Mongolian beef was excellent! Ditto for the sushi!”

“Excellent food, great service and always pleasant!”

“My sister's, my cousin, his wife and and I . discovered Betty's Bar and Grill after visiting the aquarium. We were having a family reunion and were looking for a place to eat. We happened upon Betty's Bar and Grill, loved the choices on the menu and decided to give it a try. OMG! It was great! The staff pushed tables together for us so that we could all eat together! The entire staff was great and the food- Amazing! We would definitely eat here again! We highly recommend!!”

“Nicely decorated and comfortable. Some of the best pizza and baked goods I’ve ever had. 👍💯”

“The BEST PIZZA! Wing pizza with blue cheese/pizza cheese/wing sauce and their famous red sauce! It’s just awesome! It hits the sweet side and a bit of spice !! Just too good! There’s no pizza that comes close! Yummy! Along with any other pizza with toppings! Win win !”

“Good People, Good Tea, Good Place !!!”

“Friendliest staff, food is yummy and consistent, old school and relaxed environment.”

“Paradise/Asia is the best! We’ve asked her to cater our family’s birthday parties and the food is always a hit. Asia is responsive, on time, and offers great recommendations for portion sizing so we have enough food but don’t overspend. Highly recommend!”

“The food is excellent!! Service too!! We will be back!! Thank you!!”

“Chewy, light and locally sourced, the bagel sandwich, with a perfect crunch from the gold-standard fried egg and crisp bacon, isn’t greasy or heavy but still packs incredible flavor. I got it on the everything bagel, and I might add some more cheese if I want it extra gooey next time, but it’s probably the proper amount. The iced coffee was lightly iced and I didn’t even have to specify (that’s my Dunkin’ hack, less ice since they love that bartender trick). It wasn’t too sweet and the unique house flavors pose some tough counter decisions; the praline was nutty and caramelly, with just the right amount of cinnamon. There’s table service when possible, but it can get busy so keeping your head up helps everyone. Jess and Kiersten keep a cozy and easy-to-do-work vibe inside, as the cafe doubled as my office last week. The sensibly relevant wifi password, easily explained, is also a huge flex these days. Whether you wanna settle in, or just stop by for a quick bite, this spot is versatile, open till 2 and offers one of the best breakfast sandwiches around. Well done!”
