We had a great night as always. Best wait staff in the area, food is excellent and the ambiance has a great vibe. The one thing I love to see at Poached Pear is changing up the specials that are off menu. The Cobia which is amazing should just be a dish on the menu by now.

Awesome experience from start to finish. The wait staff was excellent and the host was friendly and welcoming. The food was spectacular! Chef Bud Carter and his staff are cranking out some creative dishes and perfectly cooked steaks! I would recommend and we can't wait to go back!

It’s been a few years since we last dined at Whispers, and after such a delicious dinner, I’m wondering what took us so long to return. We both ordered salads, which were generous enough to share - both were delicious. I had the cod, while Rob ordered the pork chop. Both were excellent. The dining room wasn’t very full, which made it easy to enjoy conversation without having to raise our voices. Our servers were attentive, and the dining room’s old world charm, complete with crisp white tablecloths, made the evening feel special. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and are already looking forward to going back.

Thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food. There were only a few other diners so the restaurant was quiet. Service was attentive. Overall a lovely experience and I am positive I will be returning.

We had an amazing dinner at Scarborough Fair! The menu has so many great options, the service was fantastic, decorations for Halloween were so much fun, and quality of the food was excellent! From cocktails thru dessert, everything was a hit! Couldn't recommend more!

Love this place already. Came here for dinner before a show at the Algonquin. It was Friday night so the bar energy was high (and yes a little loud). Atmosphere was great, our waitress was friendly and attentive, cocktails were very good (and reasonably priced) and our food was yummy ! We shared the calamari app which was good, my friend enjoyed her burger and my fish tacos were excellent !! Next time we will try other entrees but we were in the mood for lighter fare. Definitely recommend reservations as the place filled up quickly.
