   Two of us ordered steak tips. Very good. A little too salty. The third person ordered that haddock. It came raw in the middle and his mashed potatoes were cold.

   It was a beautiful day in mid October, so we were able to sit outside on the patio in the warm sunshine. Service was good and food was delicious. Entree prices were very reasonable. Cocktail prices are comparable with other restaurants.

   More informal than I expected from a restaurant with white tablecloths. It was quiet (at 5:30, when we arrived, but the noise level increased as more diners arrived. The clam chowder didn’t look or taste traditional at all: it included a whole deep-fried clam and half slice of bacon as garnishes. Didn’t look or taste right. I ate only half of the cup. The broiled scallops were flavorless, with a bread crumb topping that didn’t improve the dish. My wife liked her rare filet, as she had ordered. The cheesecake, with a few fresh strawberries, normally comes with caramel sauce too, which we nixed. The texture and flavor of the cheesecake seemed more like a supermarket purchase. The one saving grace: our servers were friendly and attentive. Plus our waitress didn’t charge me for the chowder. We gave her a good tip. We won’t be going back.

   Good location and a varied selection on menu. Soup wasn’t what I had envisioned when ordering. Steak I ordered was very good, just wish the sauce was thicker. Dessert might have been the best course as it was fresh and tasty. Friendly staff.

   Improving with every visit! We enjoy the ambience. It is a location I have gone to since I was a little girl, many years ago!

   This place is awesome, they don’t mail anything in. Sides, even the coleslaw, all made in house. If you are looking for a great date night spot, this is it. Come before sundown, watch the show. Place also is an Inn, you are across the street from the ocean, great view. Always go with a daily special, chef mixes it up daily, always fresh and paints the corners (a fish special, meat, chicken, vegan dish) special almost daily. Great food, exceptional value…

   As always, the food was outstanding. Marinated steak tips for one and two of us had the baked haddock. All were so delicious and the service was terrific. Fairview never disappoints and is by far the best restaurant in Marshfield!

    We have dined at gvd grill at Fairview inn several times. Service is consistently great. Our server last night was bubbly and great. We got a few apps (steamers,French fries, and tuna tarta, Greek salad and a Caesar salad. All was perfect and the salad so fresh. Where it fell short, was the steak tips that the bday customer ordered. This was the first for us with steak tips. Unfortunately, the tips were thin leather like pieces of steak. Completely not edible. It was disappointing bc it was our friends first time dining here and we were telling them how everything here was so good. There were 4 of us. Two of us had the salmon;delicious) and one had the seafood casserole(also delicious) We ended our meal with a bday dessert(brownie and cookie with ice cream). So good. This was the first time a meal was sent back, the bday diner ended up having no meal.
