Sent private message with no response. Very disappointed. Rarely do I leave a bad review. My family and I dined at Scarborough Fair for years. I left great reviews. Last night something was different. Starting with the menu. Not what it used to be. Our waitress was very good. The drinks were ordered and came out promptly. No issues with the drinks. We ordered two appetizers…Tuna Tataki Royale and Golden Coast Skewers. The tuna was overcooked and the spices left an after taste. We ate it but it was just not good. The skewers were in a thick tempura batter. The shrimp was undercooked and the veins were intact. The scallop was cold. We told our waitress who advised this never happens. The appetizer was taken off the bill. At this point we wanted to leave but we already ordered out entrees. We ordered three entrees…Shrimp & Swordfish Island Surf Salad .. Scallops Risotto Notte Nera…and Moroccan Mountain Chop. Well…not any better. The shrimp was OVERCOOKED and the dressing made the shrimp taste like a chemical plant. There were no fried chickpeas and the swordfish was a small piece of flavorless fish. It was unappetizing. The risotto was disappointing. The rice was crunchy with a strange cream sauce once mixed in did nothing for it. The scallops were cooked correctly but at this point the meal was just awful. The pork chop was not very good and again a very strange over spiced meal with a bizarre aftertaste. We have typically ordered dessert but we were so disappointed why bother. Our check came and it was $250 for three people and we left hungry and bothered. We kidded around and said lets go to McDonalds as we were still hungry but the after taste left in our mouths was stiil haunting us. As we drove home we talked about the way the restaurant used to be. How Michael always greeted us would come to our table and took care of us. We NEVER had a bad meal at Scarborough Fair. Unfortunately last night was more than bad it was aw

Restaurant was beautiful. Very quaint-we liked the small private alcoves for intimate dinners, even though we were six and didn't experience it. The food and service were great!

We were a party of four for lunch and we enjoyed the crab cakes. They were described as Maryland style filled with lump crabmeat and we were not disappointed. We will definitely go back and try the dinner menu.

Requested and reserved an alcove table to celebrate my 45 wedding anniversary. When we arrived we were seated in the general dining room.. Have been going to this restaurant for many years for our wedding anniversary and this is the first time we had this unfortunate experience. The manager explained that the prior reservee had delayed their arrival and so we were pushed to a duece table in the main dining room. While the food and service were excellent the ambiance and intimacy was completely lacking. We had a birthday gathering to our left and a large 12 person table behind us. Absolutely nothing special; a noisy and chaotic environment to say the least. I could have gone to a mainstream chain restaurant and spent half the price. Extremely disappointed.

After waiting 90 minutes for a $49 dinner that was missing one main main main ingredient called Shrimp. I have to tell you I was a little disappointed and the fact that nobody really came over to apologize or do anything about. It was a little disheartening.

Beautiful restaurant, lovely grounds. The service was excellent and our servers were so accommodating and sensitive to our requests. The rack of lamb and steak were perfectly made, desserts delicious. We had the passion fruit and berries. We found the noise level from the music too much and the maitre D was so accommodating and lowered the volume for us. Our night was perfect.

I specifically said it was my husbands 70th birthday. We ordered dessert , not even a candle . Our waitress was wonderful. I attribute this to lack of attention from management . Ps I am there at least twice a month for happy hour with friends. I am very disappointed as this was a very special occasion.
