Service was good. Ambiance is old but charming. Nice bar. Pretty exterior. Ordered filet mignon with Brie melted on top, with mashed potatoes & kale (they insisted was spinach?). Good & properly cooked. Greek salad with grilled shrimp was very good. Grilled salmon with rice & green beans was fair to good.

Our server Ivan was the best. He filled our water glasses right away and I ordered a bottle of wine at the same time and he brought it to the table within minutes. Super service. The food came at a good pace and it was very good. Ivan made sure that we were taken care of but didn’t bug us. I recommend to all my friends for a nice night out.

This was the best 'special occassion' dining experience we've ever had. From the friendly and welcoming host, sprinkling birthday confetti on the center of the table for wait staff to acknowledge the special occassion, fun cocktails on the drink menu, great dinner specials (we had roast duck and Red Snapper) and an attentive and personable waitress. Scarborough Fair has thought through all the details for their partons' dining experience. There will definitely be more visits to Scarborough Fair in our future!

For a restaurant with such a beautiful layout, the food does not do it justice. Went for restaurant week and had the grilled chicken skewers in curry sauce. They looked like they came from Costco’s frozen department and the sauce was what you would find in a jar in the supermarket. The main course was barbecue duck in mango sauce. Though plates prettily, the mango sauce was bland and added nothing to the duck. Finally, when I got my dessert, the chocolate cake was excellent but I found a hair, not one of mine, in the whipped cream; a sure turnoff.

Food was good, not great. Service was poor. Was never informed of specials. Was two bites from finishing my meal before the waiter returned to ask if my meal came out as requested. ( which it didn't) . Asked for the check, waited over 20 minutes. The restaurant was barely half full. I will not be back,nor do I recommend to anyone

Overall the dinner was good, Mushroom soup was outstanding, Caesar salad was good. For the mains we had scallops, they were very good. I ordered the Grilled Lamb chops cooked medium, I know should have ordered them medium rare. I was disappointed with them. They were over cooked and barely any meat on them. We ordered wine with our dinner but it never came, would have been nice to have wine with dinner, so we had a dessert cocktail instead.
