The ambience is very nice. It is open and bright and clean and Asian. They also had a case of desserts (like tiramisu) and ice cream. I've been going to Fairplay for years. I never stopped here because I didn't know what it would be like. Well let me tell you, the service could not have been better. Welcoming, efficient, readily able to make requested adjustments to dishes. There are many items on the menu to choose from. We had tofu and vegetables sesame chicken. Both were just so amazingly delicious. I actually find myself thinking of finding an excuse to go back to FairPlay so I can get such wonderful food again because in my area it's hard to find such good Asian food. I cannot recommend this place enough. It checked all of the boxes and then some. The only downside is there are no lunch specials but I felt like the food was worth every penny we paid.

No soft ice cream I felt like things were going to go downhill from there but, fortunately it didn't. Truth be told, we've been coming here since Covid so it's ok just a lot of negativity up front. Simple menu and decent service punctuate the odd cross section of ice cream, hard only and Asian fusion food. We were hungry campers so we took it all in stride...plenty of seating and quick service. We had the edamame, the crab Rangoon which is minus crab but seems to have Rangoon sauce and the fried gyoza which were yummy. There were five of us and their one cook churned it out in rapid fire order. Cashew chicken was 4 stars Thais chicken basil was 4 stars ChicKen pad Thai was 3 stars Onion chicken dish was 5 stars Sweet and Sour chicken was around 4 stars Strawberry ice cream was $4/scoop. But very tasty.

I passed the loaf around to everyone at my table and we all really liked it. I also got a cute little mason jar for my drink which is so cool. The eatery is inside a little shop so the vibe is very granola in the best way. It smells incredible inside. The staff is also so incredibly nice and gave me several recommendations and made it all seem like incredible options. The price point is high, but i'm learning that's just Colorado in general. I had no issue spending my money here.

Despite the restaurant being half full, the service was quite brisk. Our server came by and promptly took our orders. I had the customizable omelette. Overall, the omelette was just okay. It was a standard diner style omelette, albeit a bit too over-salted. The pizza, however, was absolutely delicious. The crust was thin and perfectly cooked, with the top surface having a nice crisp.

We also ordered a half cheese/half pepperoni pizza for the kids, but the sauce was unexpectedly spicy and they did not enjoy it. There were a few service and timing issues, too. My mom asked for her salad to arrive with the pizzas so we could all eat together, but it came out first--and the chicken was extremely over-seasoned and nearly blackened. The staff was kind enough to remake it, which we appreciated, but the replacement came out after everyone else's food. It was also very hot inside, and the strong potpourri scent in the restroom was overwhelming enough to give me a headache. Overall, the staff handled the remake politely and there were some good parts to the meal, so we will probably give it another try. But based on this first visit, I'd call it average.
