Visited on a Saturday evening, with a 6:45 reservation. Place was about 1/3 full at the time. Staff was attentive at first taking our drink and food order. Then we sat .. for an hour with no one checking on us, no "do you want another drink", and no food. We finally waved down the staff to ask when we might expect our food, were told "only a few more minutes". Our food finally arrived, a good hour after we originally ordered.Food was average at best once received, steak was undercooked, caesar salad was brown, chicken had no flavor at all. Substituted two sides for a "small caesar salad" and was charged $6 extra.Low marks due to inattentive staff, manager indifference and average at best food at the end.

I had the flank steak with Chimichurri and the chimichurri tasted like grass. Quite literally. The potatoes where bland even with the sauce on it. The muscles had flavor but had no sauce, so basically muscles with vegetables and garlic butter. As for the service our waitress took 20 minutes to come back to our table after handing us the check. Would not recommend eating here and we paid an outrageous amount for the quality.

This is a great place for happy hour, especially on day with nice weather! My friends and I sat outside as this place is situated right on Fairmount Ave, so it's great to just see people walking around (and lots of dogs lol). I ordered the mango paloma which was super refreshing! I also had the spicy chicken sandwich and I loved the potato bun and gochujang sauce on it. The prices were also super fair for happy hour. Definitely recommend!

This place solidified that I need to move here. First, let me tell you about the truffle fries. They do NOT disappoint. Even when I go during happy hour, I always ask for the full basket because I put those puppies down in minutes. Drinks are amazing. Wide selection and they always have specials. It's a little more on the expensive side, however, the food and the servers make it worth it, ESPECIALLY if you get to sit out on the patio during the summer. So nice to chat and people watch!

I take my son to FARE quite a bit because we live in the neighborhood. Very good food, portions are good and service is also always good. I love the sangria as well!

I love this place. The bartenders are friendly and helpful. Happy Hour makes me happy with their $2. oysters and inexpensive small plates. Try the shrimp fries and the mini sandwiches. My favorite entree is the chicken-fried mushrooms. I often go alone and sit at the bar. Very comfortable for single dining. Highly recommended.

The food was good, but my partner and I both ordered the special Wagyu burgers… ordered medium. One was rare, one was medium well. Flavor was good, but missed the mark. The price doesn’t seem to justify the loud bar like atmosphere and slow service.
Nothing but great vibes in this establishment from the drinks, food & customer service. Its our after work spot for drinks. Highly recommend. It's very chill and enjoyable place. Brittany is my go to bartender.

It gets a 5/5 for food alone, really awesome dishes although some presentation was quirky (really large pepper on top of the burger bun??)Bar and Christmas decor looked cool but dining area itself was kind of plain

Fare staff was very friendly and accommodating. Place was decorated so nice for the holidays. The flat bread pizza is what we ordered. Wow! It was 10/10!

Bartender Chris, attentive and nice. Truffle fries are delicious. The sauce that comes with them, whatever it is has a nice kick to it. The beer… super cold! Just the way I like it!!!

In the Fairmont district of Philadelphia. Stopped in Fare for Happy Hour! We ordered the Farmer’s Tonic and Fairmont Sunset cocktails. Light and mildly refreshing, but not memorable. The Fish Tacos were light, flaky and tasty. A nice sidewalk stop on a beautiful fall evening.
