The AAA Four Diamond Fairview Dining Room has been reimagined as a lighter, brighter backdrop for our renowned fine dining experience. Featuring custom details hand-crafted for the space by regional artisans, this new design simply enhances what you have loved for years.

With the reopening of the new Fairview Dining Room, our Area Executive Chef Troy Stauffer and his imaginative culinary team have introduced a new Fall menu, perfectly complementing the elevated look and feel of the space. Indulge in a savory Cheshire Pork Tenderloin or delicious Duke of Crabcake with a sommelier suggested wine and finish with a decadent hand-crafted dessert from our pastry team, each dish embracing cozy flavors perfect for fall.

The food was very disappointing. Then menu was game day. It was my birthday and there would have been no difference eating in the bar. I wish I knew that they don’t serve a proper dinner menu in game days????I would never have reserved to celebrate. Terrible!

Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear that your birthday celebration wasn’t as expected. On game days, we offer a special menu, which is noted in advance on OpenTable before finalizing your reservation. I apologize if this wasn’t clear to you, and we appreciate your understanding. We value your feedback and hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future. Best regards,

As always very good. Just wish they were able to note when you book that day on OpenTable that they have only their game day menu. Somewhat limited selections.
Fairview Dining RoomResponded 2 days ago
Thank you for your kind words and continued support! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your visit. I completely understand your concern regarding the game day menu. We do have a note on OpenTable about the game day menu before completing the reservation, but I can certainly see how it can be easy to miss. We truly appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you again soon. Best regards,

It's always a treat to go to the Fairview. We are older and like that it's a quiet place where we can hear each other talk. The service is always excellent and we were served complimentary desserts because two of us were celebrating birthdays.

We arrived 10 minutes late. They were able to get us in quickly even though Duke had a game. The menu had changed since it was a game night to their "Game Menu." It was similar but they didn't have their steaks or lamb that I had my heart set on. Our server, Kristen was wonderful. We let her know our time constraints and dietary restrictions. She accommodated flawlessly. The front of the house manager seemed like an active participant in everything going on. Food was wonderful and was a good value. I look forward to coming back when we can spend some time and really enjoy what they have to offer.

Loved the burger, falafel wrap, crab cake and artisan salad with salmon. Always consistently good and best place to go before a Duke game.
