Still a 5, don't worry.
There have been some changes since I last reviewed: some good, some a little frustrating, but none will stop me from coming to The Fairmount.
The drinks all remain delicious! Ask the bartenders if you're struggling to make a decision--they're friendly and helpful! Dirty martinis are my favorite here, complete with cheese stuffed olives: salty heaven! The patio is still wonderful, though we got kicked (out?) of the patio to the inside bar once--disappointing, so we unfortunately cut our visit short.
I've been exploring the menu a little more and while the pesto scallop pizza is still my favorite item by far, the pepperoni pizza is also amazing. I've gotten happy hour seared tuna tacos twice now and it's one of the best tuna dishes I've ever had. Definitely stop in (and hope that the rotating happy hour menu hasn't changed) for some of those tacos if you like tuna.
The change that really isn't my favorite is the interior layout. The bar is now open in the middle which has put me in the line of server/bartender fire more than once. I've been trampled as well as stuck behind a traffic jam because this made the middle of the bar and dining area a main roadway between the kitchen and the bar. I also feel like the dining area is a little louder now that the kitchen isn't at the end of the bar to absorb some noise. I've always preferred sitting at the bar, but now I do even more than ever just to get a little bit of relief from the noise out on the floor.
