“ My family and I had an amazing experience at the Fairview Cafe. The ambiance was so relaxing and it felt like we were truly in the country from the cozy cabin element the restaurant has to it. There is a large 4 sided beautiful fireplace in the dining room as well! The service was exceptional from the beginning to end. The food was delicious! The arugula salad was my favorite appetizer. You can’t go wrong ordering any pasta as your entree — they were all delicious, especially the Linguini Mediterranean. To top it off, my favorite dessert was the carrot cake. It was the best I’ve ever had! We will definitely visit again. Thank you to Donny for his hospitality. ”
“ Love this place chef has excellent food every meal is special. Don’t forget BYOB All items on menu are my favorite ”
“ My husband and I came here yesterday to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The food was absolutely delicious. We got the fried goat cheese appetizer, french onion soup, ribeye steak with chipotle whiskey butter, and rack of lamb with berry glaze. We loved all our food. It was also nice we could bring our own drinks. The atmosphere was very cozy and we loved the fireplace. Our waitress was kind and accommodating. We would definitely be back and recommend this for a special occasion or a nice dinner date night. The only thing I wish would improve is for them to acknowledge special occasions. I have specified on our reservation that it was an anniversary dinner. and there was no acknowledgement of it at all. A candle on the table with a happy anniversary from the staff would have been a nice gesture ”
“ Service is excellent as are the meals.. The building and atmosphere is almost magical - beautuful exterior and interior. In warmer weather outside seating is available under a covered patio area. Inside a four-sided field stone fireplace is the centerpiece of the dining area and extends to the ceiling 20 or more feet above. The peak of the fireplace is surrounded by glass paned windows. Have been eating there for quite a few years and we were never diappointed. There is no liquor license to my knowledge as they have a BYOB policy. Definitely think you will enjoy the experience as we have. ”
“ Amazing Mother's Day dinner with family at a beautiful restaurant with amazing food. There was a special menu for Mother's Day with a wide variety of choices. As we were seven people, we had one of each of the entree choices. Our choices were: Rack of Lamb, Filet Migion, Seared Sea Bass, or Roast Duck, Each entree was more amazing than the others. It is the perfect place to enjoy a family dining experience. ”
“ Definitely one of our new favorite places. Fabulous food and service-our food was even comped because it was taking so long to process our payment which was not at all expected and so very much appreciated. That certainly says something about how the owners treat their customers! Top notch customer service and quality-we will absolutely be coming back! Cornish hen special and ribeye just melted in our mouths! ”
“ This restaurant was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! There was nothing bad. The bread was hot, the butter is mixed with cinnamon and honey, the asparagus was nice and crisp. The mashed potatoes was some of the best I've had. I had the duck with orange ginger glaze; and my husband got the special which was a 7 pepper coffee rub steak. (Which was HUGE!) Both melted in our mouths. The service was good and the atmosphere was relaxed and elegant. All at a VERY reasonable price. We will DEFINITELY come back the next we come to the area. ”
“ In May, 2025, we held a small anniversary party and could not have been better taken care of. From dinner choices, to ambiance and flexibility we were wowed. Having enjoyed the gorgeous building as a one on one favorite dining experience for years, I would recommend The Fairview for parties, a quaint romantic dinner or a special get together with friends. The food is delicious, different and beautifully presented while the staff is nothing less than friendly and professional and attentive. What a gem this is tucked away in our Pocono area. Thank you Jennifer and Don for all you did to make a wonderful day perfect. ”
