"Refectory is the best place in town that does classic French food, which has made it a go-to for special occasions, or when you just want a proper terrine. Their tender lamb chops are perennial favorites, and ending a meal with the vanilla crème brûlée is mandatory. The restaurant has been around for over 40 years in a historic 19th-century church-schoolhouse (hence the name), which is now home to a dining room with a couple of dimly-lit corners and white tablecloths, plus stained-glass windows and a fireplace. Definitely plan on ordering wine—they have a cellar of more than 700 bottles." - erin edwards, kindra peach
