The Refinery

Mane Refinery Salon has been a godsend! I've been going here for a few years now to get my hair colored, cut, styled, balayaged ... you name it! And every...

I'm happy to report my signature style has evolved. Joanna has pushed my boundaries. The color is radiant. The layers are always so easy to style....

I went here when they first opened and they seemed...confused. Their menu was all over the place, but their food was pretty darn good. We got a few apps, including the chicken wings which has a Asian twist. Delicious! The atmosphere was just kind....forced. Hopefully they figure out who/what they are soon - I'm always rooting for Old Town restaurants!

My first visit there I had an overpriced burger that tasted comparable to McDonalds or Burger King. It was a complete disappointment. My second time there was for the Super Bowl. As soon as me and my brother were seated, we were told that we had to move from the seat that was by the big screen because I knew someone who worked there. This Made no sense at all. We also made it known that we were going to pay FULL PRICE. Our only option was to be seated in the corner of the place. I soon came to find out that this was the owners decision. My brother and I were both Disgusted by the DISCRIMINATION and we chose to leave. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. The food is below average at above average prices. The owner is a douche and the service is awful. Not to mention, I had to keep my coat on the entire time because it was freezing!! There's no HEAT OR AC in the place so I can only imagine how it will be this summer. Just when you think it doesn't get any better...I originally posted this review right after the Super Bowl but was threatened by the Owner Bob to take it down AND WAS TOLD I WAS BANNED FROM THE ESTABLISHMENT. Currently, my close friend who worked there at the time was FIRED due to her unwillingness to deal with racial slurs and demeaning treatment that the owner allowed to take place within the establishment. From a customer perspective and knowing someone who worked there. Both experiences were terrible. It's sad that we still have to deal with this in today's world.

This place hasn't even had its grand opening yet, but was really happy with it. Rely good drinks menu with some unique and new creations. Even has a 'coming soon' drinks list. Creative takes on the food and super fun wait staff, though a little strong on the upsell occasionally. Great spot for eating outside as well.

What a disappointment. The place looks so nice, has a fancy menu, everyone that works here is full of enthusiasm, but the food is dull and boring. I wait staff must be actors or from second city because I don't know how anyone could be so excited about this food.
