    Wonderful setup and layout of food for our Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Fiona did a superb job of being attentive to our needs, and when she was busy, Emma, Elizabeth and others were always available and willing to pitch in.

    Good food and good service once we got to our table. Some issues with getting in and finding out where we were supposed to be seated.

    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 :)
