    The burrata appetizer was excellent. Mozzarella with balsamic flavored onions and peppers was spot on. Veal with a side of pasta was finished too quickly that I didn’t get a sufficient taste from my dining partner. I had the clams over blackened pasta was excellent as always. Superior meal.

    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

    We've been dining at Union Park for decades. We love everything about it. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent and, especially if you're staying at the Macomber, the location can't be beat. The manager, Bob, is very flexible. If he can accommodate your request, he will.

    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.
