It was a wonderful belated Mother's Day gift. It is on the expensive side but the memory of the smile on her face for the experience was priceless.

The Fairview Dining Room is a very nice place to eat a relaxing lunch. The view of the golf course and the seating arrangement is ideal. The menu is substantial in that you can order a Duke Dip (excellent) or a Jam Burger or a steak. The salads and appetizers (in particular the crispy oysters) are excellent. I hosted four people, who had never been there for lunch, and all of them had a superb time and totally enjoyed their food. I would recommend the Fairview Dining Room for lunch, especially if you want to have a relaxing and excellent meal.

Outside had a great view of the golf course which also plowed us to watch the sunset (bring sunglasses). The service could be better for the level of dining expected but not a deterrent.

Overpriced High Tea with mediocre selections. A disappointment and not worthy of Washington Duke
