Homage
Homage is a monthly tasting menu and multi-course dining experience for a select few invited guests, allowing them to sample a variety of dishes and explore different flavors and culinary techniques while indulging in a more curated dining experience. We think that Homage at the Fairfax Inn represents the best fine dining in the city. ​
​
It represents an homage to my family's African-American roots and multi-cultural heritage and to Cleveland's multi-cultural heritage, We purposefully celebrate Cleveland's very distinctive culinary language, a language that is unlike any other in the world. A shared language in a place where ethnic communities connect like a quilt but overlap at the intersections. A place where the most iconic sandwich is a Polish sausage with barbecue sauce on an Italian bun.
​
The menu for Homage is never set or published in advance, but feel free to drop by during business hours to find out more.about the Inn.

The Backyard Cafe
at the
Fairfax Inn
Every morning in the tiny carriage house behind the Inn we bake at least one sweet pastry, one savory pastry, put on a pot of coffee, and work on the lunch special for our guests and neighbors. If you didn't know we were there, you might just miss us, and that is perfectly fine with us. If you know, you know.
Fairfax is a busy urban neighborhood that is home to the world famous Cleveland Clinic and it's international visitors, as well as working families who have lived here for generations. Fairfax is also a thoroughfare. It connects the East suburbs to Downtown, and is a straight shot to the Westside, so there is no telling who you might meet when you pick up your morning paper and coffee. Since we never have set menus, our daily specials will also always be a suprise, But one thing will always be the same. Every thing will always be made fresh, chef driven and inspired by the local culture and ingredients.
