Fairfax's Bistro

“Fairfax's Bistro occupies a modest address in Midtown West. The fries are, in contrast, not modest. The waffle format is executed in blended, triple-fried to a finish that is commendable and largely sustained. The interior is earnest and specific. The portion is forthcoming. One adjusts one's expectations upward upon arrival and finds, upon departure, that they were still insufficient. This guide recommends the fries and nothing else. This is sufficient.”

“The fry at Fairfax's Bistro does not call attention to itself. It does not need to. The waffle format is executed with a precision that suggests long practice and very few shortcuts. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision. One returns.”
