    We have been dining at Washington Inn over many years. It is a special place for our family. Tonight's dining experience was really great. The menu is a bit different, a little more refined and creative. We appreciate the new menu items... even though we have always loved the older menu. Glad to see the wine and drink list tablets gone, too. Our server, Sonata, was so skilled and friendly. It was a perfect evening.

    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.

    The bar was a little loud. My 70 year old parents didn’t appreciate that while having a nice meal. But we really did enjoy our food.
