Reviews for Scarborough Fair Restaurant in Sea Girt, NJ
Never had a bad meal here. Cute & unique looking restaurant with the main dinning hall upstairs and tables off the stairways... going up. Staff was responsive from the hostess to our waitress. Recommend reservations for weekends & stair sitting evenduring the weekday. What makes this place so picturesque is also what makes it harder to maneuver. They have made a lot ofimprovements to their handicap access over the years, but I would still consider it challenging for those less mobile. Lastly,I judge every restaurant by how clean their rest rooms are. If they can't keep the bathroom clean, how can they keep thekitchen clean. It was clean and I liked the pebble sink. Read more
What a wonderful little gem with delicious food. This is one of those times where I wish the Google review system had 4.5 or... 4.75 starts. It was almost a flawless Mother’s Day brunch. This was our first time at this restaurant and I must say theatmosphere is very chic, romantic and not over the top. Our waitress was friendly and very much on top of her game when it cameto adjustments that were requested by my girls. We will definitely be back for a romantic dinner. Read more
My husband I just had an amazing meal here. The drinks were beautifully presented and equally delicious. Our waiter, Nicholas,... was polite, informative, and had a good knowledge of wine pairing to go with our dinner. We started with the Spanakopita as anappetizer, which was homemade and the best I've ever had. The filo dough was flaky, while the inside boasted whole leaf spinachand cheese. The flavor was fresh, simple and pleasantly light. There was a bit of Greek salad in the middle that had a greatquality Feta cheese with kalamata olives. This was not too filling and a perfect shared starter. I ordered the Filet Mignonover the smashed Yukon Gold potatoes, and substituted the Asparagus for Carrots. My meal was well presented and cookedperfectly. My husband ordered the grass fed Rib Eye, which was less fatty, and full of flavor, Over the smashed potato's andvegetable mirepoix. I think his meal was a special for the evening. Chef Trevor visited our table to make sure our meal wasprepared to our liking. I would say this wasn't just a dinner, it was an experience. I would highly recommend reservations,because this restaurant is not a secret to the locals and travelers alike. I will be back to try the lunch menu! Bon Appetite! Read more
It's funny. I will write a review for a diner and give it 5 stars and also write a review of this place which is far more... expensive and of a much higher caliber. But a diner is what it is and if a diner does it right, it gets a great review. Scarborough Fair is a step above, of course, but that alone does not earn my stars. Upon arriving, just the look of the place isfascinating. When entering, you will immediately be struck by the design. Even the floors look great! (I mentioned that to theowner) We came here to celebrate my wife's birthday (our second time actually....got gift cards for this restaurant and a priorone) Our waitress, Genine (hope I spelled that right) was simply wonderful and helpful as it was our first time here. We ordereda bottle of cabernet, which was the least expensive but still very good. I had the grilled rack of lamb chops, and my wifeordered the shrimp Athenia. My only regret was that they did not have asparagus which I was really looking forward to. But Iunderstand that they have standards and it's not like they can run to the local Foodtown and pick up asparagus that isn't thebest quality. Never-the-less, both meals came out looking delicious. And the taste and quality was simply top notch. The greenbeans that stood in for the asparagus were fantastic. The lamb cops were some of the best I have ever had. My wife loved herdish and I sampled it too. Just yummy. My wife had a seafood soup that was also very very yummy. Yummy was a word I used a lotwhile there. Probably the best way to describe it all. We had the pleasure of talking with the owner, Michael, who was aswonderful as the place itself. He even personally decorated our table with some birthday bling once he found out it was mywife's birthday. This isn't a place to go on a budget, but if you want a special and wonderful dining experience, this is it. Read more

An amazing dinner tonight at Scarborough Fair Restaurant! The most romantic, cozy atmosphere with the most attentive and helpful... staff. I messaged them on their website to let them know I wanted to celebrate an accomplishment for my fiance and they wentabove and BEYOND for us! Table decorations, addressing us by name when we walked in and congratulating by specifics, and givingus champagne to toast with! The food was incredible. Our waitress Hannah recommended incredible dishes and cocktails. I got theshort rib special with gnocchi and my fiance got the scallops. We were in heaven. Nothing beats the decor inside. It is so warmand beautiful. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant! Read more
Everything we had was delicious and excellently prepared. The Grilled Rack of Lamb Chops were incredibly tender. The Seafood... Riviera had amazing flavor. My favorite of the evening was by far the Portobello Mushroom Capri. The tables along the stairsare very romantic. The ambiance is rustic, but elegant. The exposed brick and wood make for great lighting. The service wasexcellent and the owner was very friendly. Read more
The atmosphere here is something I have never experienced before. The ambiance is romantic and cozy with the architecture, the... lights and the choice of music they play. My fiancé and I decided to go here for our anniversary and it did not disappoint! Weshared two appetizers that were fantastic and the main meals were great as well. Their cocktail list is also well thought outand creative. Can't wait to return! Read more
