FEARNS

Fearns is that place you go when you want to sample the local scene but end up feeling like you could’ve made a better roast at home. The vibe is lovely and the staff are friendly, but some dishes miss the mark. Eggs Benedict is good, if you overlook the fact that it’s on gluten-free bread. Sunday roasts are the star here, with many praising their fluffy potatoes and rich gravy. Just don’t expect consistency – some have left feeling like they’ve been shortchanged on flavor. If you’re in the area, it’s a decent stop, but keep your expectations in check.
