    We had a dreadful meal last night at Scarborough Fair. We did not order appetizers but instead just got entrees. We waited an hour and a half with nothing but bread, and the waitress never checked in. We finally complained, and when the food came out, two of the dishes , the chicken, were inedible. They honestly looked like they had been under the warmer the entire time. The other two meals were barely tolerable. The waitress never came to check how everything came out and we had to look for a manager, who took the two meals off the bill. New York prices, poor wait staff, and horrible food. It was a memorable night!

    We were there for lunch. Had the crab and artichoke dip for appetizer which was wonderful. We both had the crab cake ( very good) with safrito rice (too much cumin for my taste) and a mixture of vegetables perfectly cooked. We didn’t have dessert. Our server was very pleasant and did not rush us off the premises. Will of course be returning!

    A local favorite for special occasions. Mothers Day dinner was excellent, if pricy.

    Everything was wonderful as usual, but when booking they did not mention it would be a price fixe , or limited menu. That was disappointing, it was much more money that I had anticipated with two teenagers. If I would have known ahead of time I could have made other arrangements. I was very caught off guard and put a damper on my Mother’s Day.
