Went there for Mother's Day brunch. Food & service was very good. Pleasant atmosphere although we were a little cold but think it was because our res was when they first opened for the day. Otherwise, everything was great.

I would have rated this 5 star all the way except for the snarky attitude of the Matre di? I think he was a manager of some sort. I specifically asked for a certain seating and not the dining room. we got there 10 minutes late and he had given the table away with the explanation that we were late and could've called. Yes, I could have ! but we were only 10 minutes late in a very bad rainstorm. but, the attitude was such that it seemed like he couldn't care weather we stayed or left. As for seating, I was told have a seat at the bar for a half an hour or main dining room . period, that's it. So, when you go, if you see the man with the ridiculous looking suit on you will know this is the fellow I am talking about. Good Luck

Food was delicious And when there was a slight mixup regarding one entrée, the waitress promptly offered free dessert to all three of us. It more than made up for the very small inconvenience. Excellent service and even better cosmopolitans!

First time at this restaurant. Decided to go for our anniversary based on other reviews- was not disappointed. Wonderful ambience. Loved the smooth jazz playing in the background. Nice private table. Food was great! Highly recommend the seafood medley as a main course. Definitely going to return.

We came as my Mother’s Day celebration, first, we had a reservation for weeks and they tired sitting us in the back corner and then in the busy bar area. Finally, she said “oh we actually can sit you at a better table”. Great! So, everything was going amazing. Service, drinks, appetizers were all 10/10. Then we got our entrees and things started to go down hill. 2nd bite into my boyfriends food and this clump of hair ended up in his mouth. I have never been so disappointed for the price point and standards I’ve had for this place for years. We probably will not be coming back which is unfortunate because it was one of my favorite places to go. Nick is amazing and would highly recommend asking for him when you go! Otherwise, very disappointed.

This was our first time at Scarborough Fair. The restaurant is set in an old farmhouse and the setting is beautiful. It has many nooks for semi-private dining. The food is delicious with large portions. We had an appetizer special of duck egg rolls which were probably the best egg rolls I have ever eaten. The entrees of pork tenderloin and a scallop dish were outstanding. Service was excellent. The wine list was varied with some really good wines at reasonable prices. I look forward to returning.

I love this restaurant and was so happy they appreciated that I noted the celebration of our friends' wedding anniversary! I had requested sitting at one of the cozy intimate tables along the front windows/climbing stairs of the restaurant. They sat us there and we had a great evening. Our waitress Janine while quite busy was pleasant and personable throughout the night. It was the first time our friends were at this restaurant and they both commented that they would be back again. The atmosphere is very warm. The place feels like a nicer night out without being overly fancy. The burrata salad and the filet (medium) were both delicious and my boyfriend got the pork chop which was also amazing. The only question I had was regarding one menu item that reads that it is served with a fall vegetable while we are approaching May? The drinks, espresso martinis and old fashioneds for our group, were also perfectly prepared! Thank you Scarborough Fair!

Very unique vibe my boyfriend and i both really enjoyed it here. The service was fast and friendly and the food was so delicious. I had the lamb it was the best I’ve ever had. The espresso martini was a great after dinner cocktail. I don’t know why this place wasn’t busier.
