The AAA Four Diamond Fairview Dining Room has been reimagined as a lighter, brighter backdrop for our renowned fine dining experience. Featuring custom details hand-crafted for the space by regional artisans, this new design simply enhances what you have loved for years.

With the reopening of the new Fairview Dining Room, our Area Executive Chef Troy Stauffer and his imaginative culinary team have introduced a new Fall menu, perfectly complementing the elevated look and feel of the space. Indulge in a savory Cheshire Pork Tenderloin or delicious Duke of Crabcake with a sommelier suggested wine and finish with a decadent hand-crafted dessert from our pastry team, each dish embracing cozy flavors perfect for fall.

    This was a tasting menu event with Far Niente vineyards wine pairings. The culinary team did a great job matching the food courses with the wines. The service was exceptional. We attended with 3 other couples and the overall experience was excellent.

    First time trying the Fairview. We thoroughly enjoyed the brunch experience. Our server Marius was very attentive, offered input as we asked and was just super. We will be back.

    It's been years since I've been here (over two decades) and I remember the restaurant being good, but not this good! I know there are other great restaurants in the area but, after my meal, I'm wondering if there is a need to go anywhere else :)

    The entire experience from start to finish was first class; host staff, service, pianist, interiors, menu and food...literally the best! Abigail, our waitress was professional, knowledgeable, discreet and attentive. She made the entire evening lovely.
