    Fairview helped to make our anniversary celebration special. The food and service were both impeccable, and they surprised us with a sweet treat at the end. This restaurant is open concept, so it is not as intimate as some - but the comfy chairs and soothing piano set the mood nicely. Also, they are fantastic with allergies - a clearly-marked menu and options to modify other items. Thank you!
