This restaurant is dubed as “most romantic”. It is not. Super noisy, and decor is tacky. Appetizers and drinks were excellent. Had to wait way too long for mediocre main courses which were $50+. Overall we wont be returning

Fabulous menu that changes every season. Great romantic atmosphere - ask for seating on the stairway. Service was impeccable. Food and wine list with lots of variety and scrumptious! They make you feel special. Never had a bad experience or meal here.

Celebrated anniversary there recently. Food was excellent! Very friendly staff! My wife is strict gluten free and there were many options. The GF calamari was the best! Very romantic atmosphere.

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!
