What Ossi Ilomäki likes about The Refinery:
they are one in a million, best among many, most familiar, I almost gave up the trade then I met through a friend, melissa the most trusted trade expert who helped the living of my family and I, I also recommended them to my friends and family member, who also became financially successful thanks to them ma’am, I have lost a lot, but they gave me more. View all feedback. What Oliver Ruppert doesn't like about The Refinery:
The food was quite disappointing and arrived nearly an hour after we placed our order, cold, and only after a different member of the kitchen staff checked if we were going to order any food. View all feedback.

The Refinery, located near London Bridge, offers a unique and wacky menu with interesting dishes and inventive cocktails. While some dishes like the steak and lobster fell short in taste, others like the chicken and chestnut mushroom pie were described as flavorful and delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant resembles a modern indoor garden, perfect for a lively after-work atmosphere. The service, however, received mixed reviews with some praising the attentive and professional staff, while others were disappointed by the lack of knowledge and efficiency of their server. Overall, The Refinery seems to be a popular spot for its food, drinks, and vibrant ambiance, with the occasional service issue.

The restaurant was out of a lot of food. The atmosphere was great as far as decor and vibes but it was very empty.
