Wonderful Valentines Day dinner, very busy so service just a tad slow at times but still very good. Look forward to next dining experience here. Scallops, filet mignon and salmon carpaccio, crème brûlée all exceptional.

The Valentines dinner was a three course pre fix dinning experience. It is only offered on Valentine's Day; however, the Fairview restaurant at Duke Inn is a wonderful place to celebrate special occasions.

The diverse offerings on the Valentine’s Day prixe fixe menu looked fabulous. Everything was delicious though the filet mignon was disappointing for its recipient. With that exception the clean plates for amuse bouche, appetizers, halibut entrees and three different desserts were outstanding. Service was great.

We think the Fairview Dining Room has the best ambiance of any restaurant in the Durham. They cook fresh fish beautifully. I always order the fresh catch or salmon. Their rolls are also excellent!
