East Market St - NuLu​の居心地の良いお店

I had a wonderful experience dining here last night. My wife and I had wanted to try Byrdies for some time because we both love French cuisine. We were a bit hesitant to visit on Valentine’s Day weekend because a lot of restaurants will limit their menu in order to have higher turnover but it couldn’t be further from the case here. We got to experience the restaurant fully and the menu was the same as any night, in fact, I’m curious if they worked extra hard to make our date night feel extra special or if service is just that excellent every night. Zach was our server and he was very attentive to our needs throughout the dining experience. He had a deep knowledge of the menu and some interesting suggestions that we would not have ordered on our own but we are glad we trusted him. The pot du jour was one of those. The list of ingredients seemed odd and unappealing but after ordering it everything fit together perfectly and it stood out as one of the highlights of our experience. Another standout were the scallops and the escargot. The cornbread was somewhere between a southern cornbread and a Yorkshire pudding. Very interesting and very delicious. Overall the food was beyond excellent but what stood out the most was how attentive every member of the staff was in the front of the house. Everyone from the people running food to the manager in her stylish pantsuit seemed like they were performing at the top of their game and made me feel welcomed and taken care of.

Everything was great! Our server took great care of us from beginning to end. The meatball appetizer was awesome! Pizza was delicious!

We have always done dinner at this amazing restaurant. Today was our first brunch. I would have to say , they continue to amaze us. The blue crab omelette was out of this world amazing. The thick cut bacon was something that could be a dish by itself. The wife got the French dip sub. The beef was perfect, the dip was on point . The horseradish dip was fire 🔥. The hand cut fries were perfectly salted and crisp. Once again blown away by this restaurant ability to provide amazing experience and food.

This was my first time at The Last Refuge, and I had a great experience. Staff were amazing and attentive even though it was a busy night. It would be nice to see a couple more items on the menu, maybe more pasta items, as the one looked good. The appetizer, salad, and pizza was really good. I would love to come back when the weather is warmer as it looked like there was a nice patio. Overall, it was a very nice night and will come back.

The food tasted amazing! Great value. Treated to a free dessert for my husband’s birthday.
