    I had lunch with a buffalo!
    Liz B.

    I cannot understand for the life of me, why Fairview only has 3 1/2 stars. If you'd like the sweetened condensed version of my review, here: Fairview is beautiful, their staff is always friendly and their food is delicious. If you'd like a more detailed version of this culinary adventure, continue on... I've found it extremely hard to get a good meal in this neck of the woods... Fairview is one of the very few places that always hits the spot. The decor is stunning (unless you're a diehard PETA alum... There are deceased animal heads all over the walls.). I have been here twice so far but my boss visits Fairview frequently and is always pleased. Our waitress is very attentive but not to the point of annoyance. She's as friendly as can be, just like every other staff member I've encountered. The food... THE FOOD... Well, it's tasty! I've never been disappointed with the menu. The chef uses fresh and unique ingredients. And my God, DO NOT leave there without trying the chocolate torte. I've only been there around lunch time, but from what I see the prices are quite reasonable! If you're looking for the dollar menu, move along.. If you're looking for a fine dining establishment that won't break your bank, Fairview. Okay, I think I covered everything.. Chocolate torte, ambiance, chocolate torte, the friendly staff, chocolate torte, the menu, chocolate torte, the prices... Oh, and I can't forget to mention the chocolate torte. You're welcome. I'd definitely recommend Fairview... In fact I do. I even asked to have my bridal shower here... (But my bridesmaids are stingy.) Anyway, go there.

    Nice place to grab a meal. Food is good and menu has a lot of options

    So sad this has closed. It was surely a treat in the Poconos. Unbelievable food, beautiful location - we will miss Fairview Lake Cafe.

    Decided to go for a nice dinner with the wifey during a weekend getaway. After a long search for a…read morenice place to dine at we decided to have dinner at the Fairview Cafe. We we're told that they're BYOB so it made us look forward to our evening. This place is extremely cozy, have a decent size parking lot and a moderate size fire place right in the middle of the dinner area. Nothing at this place was too tacky or over done. We we're lucky enough to be hosted by a great host who was at the time training another server. Our host/server was extremely nice, pleasant and approachable. She definitely helped us with the menus and made our evening special by taking pictures of us per our request. We started off our dinner with Arugula salad and a French onion soup that I never had and been wanting to try. Both the salad and the French onion soup right off the bat beat our expectations. We then moved onto our appetizers and had the highly rated fried goat cheese and blue crab popper delights. Both of the appetizers were spot on. The appetizers set our expectations so high we decided to move on to some of their best on the menu. My wife picked the rack of lamb and I went with the cowboy ribeye. These main courses were very good. The ribeye and the rack of lamb was cooked to perfection. The rack of lamb with blackberry bourbon sauce was perfect choice for the rack of lamb. The steak was meaty, fatty and very tasty. I had my fingers crossed and just like I hoped the steak wasn't over cooked and was a perfect medium well. Our dinner experience was very pleasant and the food definitely met our expectations. Only disappointment we experienced was when it came to dinner the options were a lot, but a lot of cakes and pies. If you have a sweet tooth you'll definitely like their cakes, but if you're not then I wouldn't be too excited towards dessert. I hope this place really ups their dessert game and focus on quality over quantity. Overall our experience was great, dinner met our expectations, and the ambience was perfect for a cold winter evening. Must add the service was highlight of the evening. MUST TRY: Rack of Lamb, Cowboy Ribeye, Blue Crab Poppers, Fried Goat Cheese, French Onion Soup.

    This place is garbage, no other way to say it. I don't know…read morewhere to start with this place. Or how to express how horrible the experience was here.... We drove an hour to come here for a birthday dinner. Let's start with the only good thing, the server was nice and friendly. The restaurant it self is cute, however when you start looking closely not the cleanest place, cobwebs and dust in all the corners but whatever. Now the food... horrible is too good of a word. Wife ordered the Scallops, she got 4 tiny, about the size of a quarter scallops, white rice which was unseasoned and tasted like mold, and green beans that were old and wilted and also unseasoned. I ordered the "cowboy cut" rib eye. First off this was not a cowboy cut which is usually a nice bone in steak, this was the worst quality steak I have ever eaten, I know ribeyes are usually fatty compared to other cuts, but there was no edible meat on this steak. Basic salt and pepper seasoning, nothing special, and the "whiskey butter" was completely flavorless. Came with garlic mashed potatoes that were also unseasoned and flavorless and the same old wilted green beans as my wife. Even the soda I ordered was flat. No choice of sides, you get what you get and most likely will get upset.... I've had better food sold out of the trunk of peoples cars and the audacity of the owners to call this "fine dining". Dollar general sells a better quality steak than this... Claimed they took 20% off the bill cause we didn't like the food but when we did the math, they took 20% off my steak and not the total bill. I dont understand how this place has such good reviews... What an absolute disgrace and disappointment. Do better... No wonder the place was empty , we should have taken that as a sign and just left than. Ended up at Arby's which was far better a choice than Fairview, also even the name is a lie, Fairview? View of what the abandoned house across the street? Stay away from this place. Also look up their health inspection report....

They have a big enough space, good food, and are reasonably priced. We had a gathering here previously, about 10 years ago when my Aunt passed. Its a nice place for large groups! We had the downstairs reserved and they set up 3 tables for the 30 of us. They have a limited menu for groups. 4 options. A turkey sandwich, a cheesesteak, fish and chips, and a salad. Most folks went with the cheesesteak and the fish and chips. I went with the fish and chips, myself. It was delicious! Pretty much a whole filet, and some curly style fries. Really tasty! Non alcoholic drinks were included, and brownie bites for dessert. It was only $20.00 a person! Had a great time visiting with everyone! The staff at Coras was great! They were on top of everything and had drinks out and food out all at the same time. Very coordinated effort which I appreciated! They also didn't rush us. Let us know that we had the room until we were done. Very awesome place and highly recommended!

There's no official kids' menu, but that didn't matter one bit. The owner himself came over to chat with our kids, and without hesitation, offered to make a personal pizza for our daughter. She devoured the entire pie. My son similarly polished off a plate of chicken on a bed of spinach in record time. We shared a round of calamari and the most beautifully balanced cheese board; paired with local honey, olives, and a perfectly chosen wine. The Cacio e Pepe? Hand-made that day, cooked to the most perfect al dente, and so delicious that my daughter declared, "It tastes like fancy mac and cheese." (High praise from a discerning 5-year-old.) It would be amiss if I didn't give a shoutout to Christian, the bartender, who felt more like a magician. I asked why my gin cocktail tasted so uniquely good, and he casually mentioned he had prepped it with cucumbers for six days. SIX. DAYS. Just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite, we shared a crème brûlée--and it was the best kind of night-cap. Creamy, crackly perfection. Cozy, elevated, warm, and full of heart--Ravyn & Robyn is a gem I can't wait to visit again.
