The Refuge

Plenty of parking, really good service, great atmosphere. This place had the best omelette I've ever had in my life. The coffee was five stars with latte art! I got the shrimp chorizo gouda and caramelized onion omelette, wife got shrimp and grits, and my son and daughter both got the pancakes! Would come again a hundred times.

I have eaten here several times and the food is consistently cooked very well. I have never eaten anything that I did not like or lacked flavor. My group and I started with the BLT Deviled Eggs, Burrata Caprese, and She Crab Soup, all of which were outstanding. I ordered the Seared Scallops with brussel sprouts, mixed vegetables and sweet potato puree. The scallops had a parmesean crust that was simply delicous and satifying, the brussel sprouts were crispy and the sweet potato puree was creamy. The presentation of the dish was stunning that gave you that fine dining experience. My friend had the Chicken Pesto Tortellini. The dish had a lemon pesto cream sauce that was excellent. We finished with a key lime pie that was light and refreshhing along with a gluten free carrot cake, that my f

The Refuge gave us a good meal with food that really hit the spot. Service was friendly, just a bit overwhelmed at times. The atmosphere was fine, nothing too memorable, and the strip mall setting does not add much personality. Still, it is a solid place to eat on Isle of Palms if you want something reliable and tasty.

My wife and I stopped by the Refuge Restaurant for brunch while waiting for an early check-in at our accommodations, and we enjoyed the experience! I ordered the western omelet with home fries, and it was perfectly cooked—fluffy, flavorful, and paired with crispy, well-seasoned fries. My wife got the berry pancakes, which were light, fluffy, and bursting with fresh berry goodness. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere made it even better. The service was top-notch, and we can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!

Took time in Refuge and tried their crab cake eggs Benedict and Maine cocktail, both of which were fantastic. The design and delivery of the food stood up to its flavor and It makes me want to come back for more. If you just need a coffee and some relaxation, there is an attached cafe that is quieter than the rest of the restaurant and easy to focus in. Fantastic spot!
