The Refinery - Carson

This is an outstanding restaurant situated in the DoubleTree Hotel in Carson, just a short distance from City Hall. Ed, the manager, is exceptional and genuinely cares about his staff and the quality of customer service. I will definitely keep supporting this establishment.

We stop here at the DoubleTree hotel thought is this the right place???? It was our son's birthday weekend and he loved his pasta and the service from Marta and Gerald was awesome,k we the top. Did l mention we weren't guest in the Hotel only dinning???

I give 4 only because of the salmon with spinach and jasmine rice! Very good! The breakfast was not hot french toast was dry. Butter was cold and hard it broke the knife when I tried to butter my French toast. Dinner appears to be great breakfast not so much. Overall hotel was nice other than anybody can access the floors where the rooms are with out a key card!

Service was ok. I was staying one night, and tired from travel. The watress was polite, but there was only 5 tables with people, and did not see her much.....though, she was busy when I saw her....so I'm thinking a managment thing with staffing. The food was good (club), but the flavors we're off. One was the smoked chedder used, which was good...but they used pepper jack which was just odd combination.

We visited on a Saturday between 7 and 8 PM, and it was about 40% full. The food was fresh and delicious, arriving hot and quickly. We ordered a Caesar salad, clam chowder, chicken street tacos, a plate of 8 traditional hot wings, and a pasta dish with chicken and shrimp. Everything was excellent, and the portion sizes were generous. We also ordered rounds of Coke and vodka with orange juice (two of each). The drinks had a reasonable amount of liquor without being overly strong. Overall, I would definitely return to this restaurant and highly recommend it. You’re in for a treat!
