    I can not begin to express how much we enjoyed this meal. We did the tasting menu, and not a single regret about it. It was a wonderful selection, the taste progression was clearly done with thought, every bite was exquisite, and we finished the meal quite full. Since I am unable to eat mushrooms, a few changes were made for me, but I didn't feel like I was missing anything. 100% will go again. A wonderful place for a true fine dining experience.

    For date night with my wife, it was SPECTACULAR! The service by Abby was ‘on-point’ and amazing, the food, flavorful and more than tasty (*Kudos to the chefs!), and the entire experience, including ambiance … 10 out of 10. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be back! Thank you M Pocha!

    We had great service and the food was excellent. I had the eggplant Parmesan. It was played like a lasagna which was very filling and delicious. My husband had a pasta dish that was called ink shrimp noodles??? Something like that. It was garlicky and he enjoyed. Highly recommend. The only negative was our seating was at a table in the center of the restaurant beside two other tables so there was not much privacy.

    We think the Fairview Dining Room has the best ambiance of any restaurant in the Durham. They cook fresh fish beautifully. I always order the fresh catch or salmon. Their rolls are also excellent!
