    Washington Inn has upped its game in the food category! Fantastic meal including some old favorites -oysters Rockefeller and their famous crab cakes. Beef tartare was terrific with truffle sauce. Atmosphere cozy and friendly. Bartenders are excellent and the cocktails were delicious. They have a huge wine list and a knowledgeable sommelier. Highly recommend!

    Small intimate dinning room in the Washington pedestrian mall. Professional, friendly & attentive staff. Attractively decorated for the holiday while still maintaining elegance. It is BYOB. The New England Clam Chowder was flavorful with generous amount of clams. Husband had grilled polenta with broccoli rabe & fresh shaved Pecorino Romano cheese “like Mom used to make.” I couldn’t finish my seafood risotto. So generous was the portion of local shrimp, scallops & clams though I tried ! Husband had Shrimp & Salmon with mash potatoes in chili sauce. Delicious. Try the Pumpkin cheesecake & you’ll think it’s Thanksgiving again. Highly reccomended

    Service: professional, attentive, very friendly. Food: nice presentation with great twists on classics (Cali Turkey Club was terrific). Ambiance: wonderful combination of a modern bar/restaurant, hometown sports bar with ample TVs everywhere including at booths, plus the live music was fantastic. Summary: If you are in the mood for a cool spot, great food, a great sports bar, or great live music, Fairview checks all the boxes. I highly recommend it.
