Pro Tip

Dine outside on our beautiful patio and don’t forget, The Refuge has one of the most popular Sunday brunches on Long Island. Celebrating an Event? The Refuge is the place to cater your office holiday party, Sweet 16, Bar / Bat Mitzvah or shower. Enjoy a comfortable and engaging environment where you can eat something good and sip something sinful.
