This is one of the first reviews I have written, but I feel compelled to do so because my service experience in the Fairview has been consistently bad the last several times I have eaten there and I really want it to improve so I can continue to eat there with colleagues, job applicants, etc. While the servers are very friendly when we order, there is one person in particular who works bussing plates, and each time I have gone he has tried to take my plates and those of the people I am eating with away before we are done. Even when we have said we are not yet done, he comes back two minutes later and again tries to take the plates. Sometime he literally puts his hands on them before we say we are not done, other times, he asks, then asks again. One time he tried to take our bread plates and we had not yet even touched the bread. Given the price we pay to eat here, it very much feels like we are being rushed out. I do not have this experience at other restaurants, and it is becoming awkward taking job applicants and others here because of the consistency of this problem. I thought perhaps the problem was the table was needed, but this happened just the other day when the place was practically empty. Please talk to your lunch busing staff (and servers to some degree as well) about not rushing people and not constantly asking if people are done with plates. And by the way the SAME person the other day then went and grabbed the leather check wallet before we had put our credit cards in it, again because we were having a leisurely lunch and were not ready to pay. It was awkward, and then we of course felt compelled to pay right then. This one person does this the most, but the servers have done variations of this as well. For some reason there seems to be a culture of rushing people out. My only experience is at lunch, not other meals.

Recently had tea at the Fairview dining room. Had to try it once. Tea is Too expensive overall. The staff are nice and the facility is great. But the amount of food is very small.
I had been here years ago for a girls brunch at a different time and occasion. The food is good but again expensive.
