Fare RestaurantNice night -- good dinnerWe had dinner at Fare following my son's college graduation. Overall atmosphere was upscale but laid-back. The restaurant was busy, but we never felt hurried.
Our server was attentive and friendly. My daughter asked whether a given menu item was gluten-free. Without any further requests, our server brought gluten-free bread out along with the pita bread for the complementary appetizer (good hummus with olives). He also brought my daughter her own smaller version of the hummus. It was a very nice touch.
All entrees were very good -- there wasn't a bad meal in the group. Vegetables were done perfectly.
We were frankly all too full for dessert, but forced ourselves :) to try a flourless chocolate cake just for the taste. Again, very good.5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Brunch!My family and I went to Fare for Mother's Day brunch and all had delicious food and great time.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, great atmosphereCan't complain at all.

I brought six friends with me for brunch and everyone's choice was delicious. The Mary Cassat Bloody Mary is great -- calamata olives and sweet smoked bacon as garnish. What can be better!! The burrito, the eggs Florentine with smoked salmon, the omelets -- all were perfectly prepared. And the service -- excellent. A real keeper.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMWe went on a Saturday night,We went on a Saturday night, with 6 people and it was wonderful. We made a reservation, arrived on time and had to wait abo8ut 10 minutes for our table. This was fine, and we had time to review their fun special drink menu. Our apps came out quickly and we had time to enjoy and share before the dinners came out. The food was excellent, fresh, well prepared, and delicious.
I would highly recommend 'Fare'.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a delightful SaturdayWe had a delightful Saturday brunch. The Cinnamon bun is to die for!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMFrom the start, service wasFrom the start, service was great. Attentive, but not annoying, and without giving you that rushed feeling of a restaurant that is trying to turn tables as fast as they can. Everyone enjoyed their food (apps = tuna tartar, calamari, some other seafood that I don't remember. mains = steak, crab cake, salmon). There wasn't a bite that came onto the table that wasn't enjoyed. Our reservation was for 7PM on Sunday, so the place was relatively quite, but we didn't feel like we were in a lonely corner of an empty place either. Just what we were looking for!4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMFare is amazing!!I went to Fare with a group of 5 to celebrate a birthday. Every person raved about their entree, from steak to seafood to pasta. The oysters and flatbreads were a great way to start. They had some great cocktails to start the night (Cucumber Martini, etc). Though the wine list certainly seemed to cover all bases, we had bought our own bottles and paid the corkage fee.
This is an excellent spot, service was superb (our waiter made us feel comfortable to just be the somewhat boisterous group we were), and the food was well prepared & high quality. Not one misstep. Plenty of reasons to go back!!4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMMenu is interesting and different.Menu is interesting and different.

Excellent service and a funky outdoor side patio.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMThis is my second visit andThis is my second visit and with the exception of the vegetarian entree I chose the food was exceptional. The vegetarian dish of two patties one of carrots and the other I don't recall was particularly flavorless.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMI had brunch with a groupI had brunch with a group of friends and we had a great time. We were able to sit and catch up for 3 hours and the manager even let my husband put his road bike in the back of the building for safekeeping. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great experience!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMFine DiningI had a truly wonderful meal and a great dining experience at Fare. The service was excellent and the food delicious. We had the flatbread with cheddar, bacon and apple and it was to die for! I had osso bucco and the meat fell off the bone. Presentation was above average and very important - the coffee was very good! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a delicious meal.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had been avoiding thisWe had been avoiding this place because of some early not so good reviews. Well it seems they worked out the kinks. We went in for brunch. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgable. We were informed they are going to be opening a beer garden in the courtyard area that we are very excited about. Definitely worth a try and we will be returning for a dinner service.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was our second time atThis was our second time at Fare and it was again a lovely overall experience. The food is interesting and well prepared, good service, and the atmosphere is lively without being too noisy. We didn't spend any time at the bar (went right to our table) but the bar seems very attractive and would be nice to just go there for a drink sometime. Nice spot!3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat find near the Art MuseumFare was very nice and convenient to the Art Museum area. The menu has a nice variety, something for everyone. The salads are very large (and delicious!), definitely consider sharing one. It was a little loud in the restaurant, but had a nice vibe nonetheless. The staff was good. Attentive even during a busy time. We had a nice time and would definitely go again.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was excellent! SmallFood was excellent! Small spaces and even smaller portions has been my past experience with organic food restaurants. Fare is a small restauarant but didn't feel cramped and the decor is bright and open. The portions were large (I took some home) and the food was delicious!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AM
