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.

The menu has recently been upgraded with the addition of Chef Michael Thompson who brings with him his eclectic, "California cuisine", along with many 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 favorite dishes are;

For starters, try the Sesame-Crusted Ahi Tuna with crispy noodles, avocado, cilantro oil, and wasabi-soy vinaigrette; the Spanakopita with phyllo pastry, spinach, feta cheese, herbs, spices; or the Crab Cake with bell pepper aioli, and mango salsa.

For entrees try the Lamb Tenderloin with artichoke ragout, cumin-spiced potatoes, pistou, and merlot sauce; the Flounder St. Moritz with crab, artichoke hearts, white zinfandel, lemon butter sauce; or the Filet Mignon with smashed potatoes, and Bordelaise roasted shallots.

The desserts are tasty, and the two that are made in-house are Crenme Brulee and the Bread Pudding with raspberry and vanilla.

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

Credit cards are accepted and reservations are recommended.
