The Refuge Steakhouse & Bourbon Bar

The Refuge offers a relaxed, low-lit, high-end dining experience. We ordered wine, snapper, and the special which was a well cooked ribeye steak accompanied by crab and shrimp, served over a bed of risotto. The hostess staff sat us right away even though we did not have reservations, as we arrived very early in the evening. The wait staff were all very attentive, polite, and efficient. The food, delicious, properly prepared, and served on temperature. Overall, the experience left us wanting to return and bring our family and friends. We purchased gift boxes of flavor infused bourbon as Christmas gifts.

I visited this restaurant on this past Saturday. We sat in the front bar area so we didn't view the entire restaurant but it was a lovely place. I had requested a booth with my reservation and they had just that waiting on us when we got there. Our server was very sweet. She was extremely helpful and answered all our questions. The parm truffle fries were THE BEST!!!! I ate that more than my burger although the burger was good too. They had a lovely patio with live music. I was really hoping to enjoy that on this visit however it was cold and I didn't want to be outside as that is where the music is. They do have very lovely heat lamps out there so maybe on a less cold night we will be able to enjoy that. Overall a very lovely spot! If you like whiskey and a nice ambiance I don't imagine you would be disappointed.

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. Very cool atmosphere, excellent service, prices are a bit higher than average but well in line with the quality of food. Ok, so the food was AMAZING - we had three “off menu” items recommended by the waitstaff. Don’t miss out on getting one of their wood fired selections so so good! Highly recommend for a date night or special occasion.

I had a great experience at the steak house! Our server Stephanie was amazing, and the pasta and grilled chicken were delicious. The bread pudding dessert was the perfect way to end the meal. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience. Stephanie was an amazing server, she helped me celebrate my birthday with so much class and recommended my party and I with the best meals!

PERFECT DATE NIGHT! The decor is beautiful, food is delicious, service is A1. We were greeted by 3 different managers and each one knew it was our anniversary. Very knowledgeable staff! The anniversary dessert we got was unbelievably delicious. Beautiful presentation! We will definitely return again!

Refuge is the best steakhouse in the back of the Woodlands. The service is top-notch. It is well above mediocre restaurants such as Fieldings in terms of atmosphere and service. The menu is not as vast but is tasty and changes. The bar is on the mid-sized range and can get crowded on weekends during happy hour. Their whiskey selection is second to none in the Woodlands.

Don't even want to write this review as I want to keep this as a secret. Luis and group have created an amazing atmosphere with hand crafted cocktails, 45 day dry aged Steaks at minimum, coal fired grills that put that perfect crust on your steak. I have never been to a restaurant that is about the experience, taste, service and affordable cost than this place. This is absolutely going to be a regular place to dine for me.

I always visit The Refuge in The Waterway for the great happy hour but wanted to check out this location. Their food selection is different but happy hour drink specials are the same with $3 wells and $4 wines Tuesday-Saturday 4pm-6pm. I ordered the baked Brie with apricot and it was so delicious. The inside is low lit and moody making this location perfect for date night or a business dinner.

This place was great 👍 Our server was very professional and helpful with selections. We ordered the appetizer sampler, and they were my least favorite of the meal (except the crab cakes). I ordered the ribeye, and it was so tasty (even the next day). My husband had the red snapper, and he loved it. My sister ordered the refuge burger 🍔 and OMG, that burger was probably one of the best burgers I've tasted it was cooked perfectly. The drinks and cheesecake were decent 🍸
