"This restaurant was a great find. The rustic look was very appealing. The food was outstanding. Service was friendly, informative and excellent overall. We didn't feel rushed so the table could be available for other diners for our Mother's Day dinner. Valet parking was available for my mother who has difficulty walking long distances. We had a wonderful experience and will be going back soon."

"Scarborough Fair is tucked away in a bucolic spot near Sea Girt and Manasquan. The architecture of the restaurant is unique, with alcove seating going up the stairs to the second floor. The food was delicious, with an attractive presentation. The wait staff was attentive without being overbearing. I wanted to write this small review to remind people of Scarborough Fair and to encourage them to give it a try. Excellent!"

"Our waiter was very attentive but didn't hover. Went with a friend for a evening of chatting and he seemed ok with that. Also got soup, salads and two appetizers instead of dinner and we didn't get an attitude about that either. Brought us an appetizer sample which was pita with an artichoke/spinach dip that was delicious. As was the lobster bisque and scallops. Everything we had was delicious, including the cocktails."
