Restaurant Review

This charming restaurant is located in a restored farmhouse with an exterior that is attractively decorated with twinkling lights and a terraced brick sidewalk leading up to the entrance. The interior is cozy with a series of multi level dining alcoves that have the feel of eating in a country ski lodge. For a cozy, romantic dining experience, make a reservation for one of the quieter, dining alcoves.

Chef Juan Carlos Hernandez, a native of Costa Rica, presides over an eclectic new American menu that is well prepared and offers additional selections of international Mediterranean dishes.

Were it not for inconsistencies in the cooking of dishes and coordination with the servers, Scarborough Fair has the potential to offer one of the more exciting menus in the area.

The service is friendly and attentive, although short on supporting staff.

Open Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Years Day. Credit cards are accepted and reservations are recommended.
