I originally wanted to get the spinach & feta souffle but I was informed that they ran out of that item. So I ordered the Breakfast Quesadillas. It was okay. I could have made something similar better at home. Overall, I have yet to see anything spectacular about Farrago.
Pros: bottomless mimosa for $9
Cons: ran out of menu item & parking situation was a pain.

At about 8:30PM on Saturday, July 18, 2009, our party of 7 arrived at Farrago’s for dinner. We were looking forward to sampling some international cuisine, while celebrating the birthday of one of our family members.
Upon arrival, we found the restaurant to be less than half full; in contrast to some other neighborhood establishments that were overflowing with customers, many standing outside, waiting to be seated. As we walked in, we found 4 or 5 customers being led by an attendant, with no hostess at the entrance for several minutes to even greet us. We waited patiently until someone, who appeared to be the maitre d’, casually shuffled in. His first words, with no opening greeting or welcome, were “what do you want?” He was arrogant, swaggering, rude, unwelcoming, and entirely too casual. There was no graciousness in his voice or in his demeanor. In these depressed economic times, one would have presumed that customers (especially 7 in one shot), would have been received with a courteous smile, warmth, and enthusiastic hospitality. Right there, we concluded that our entertainment dollars would be much better spent elsewhere - and we walked out, only to patronize another near-by restaurant, where we were accorded the correct welcome and service.
Not only will we not patronize Farrago in the future, but being business folks, we will actively encourage other corporate associates and friends of ours to do likewise.

service has always been slow and scarce but the food every now and then made up for it (especially brunch). however, after spending the entire evening with violently ill i'm threw and i don't think you should risk it either. my case was 100% traceable back to the lunch i ate at farrago. i'll spare you the gruesome details, just trust this warning.

Thankfully Chuck is back, and the food and service have improved drastically. My daughter, and a party of about 20 went for dinner New Year's Eve, and everyone raved. My daughter has declared the pizza crust the best in town, and we're going back tomorrow.
I raised her right, so if she says the crust is fantastic, I believe her. I was born and raised in NYC, so I pride myself on my pizza standards.
I have had most everything on the menu, and as long as Chuck is running the show, it has been perfection.
Let's all give a big cheer that "Chuck is back in charge!"
Pros: Everything once you're inside
Cons: Parking can be a problem.

The food was pretty good. I had Tenderloin Migas for Brunch [haven't been for dinner]. They were alright- but the guacamole was great.
It was very busy, it was sort of like a douchey mid town club just spilled out into the place.
One of the few places I know that has bottomless mimosas [for $9 with an entree].
I'll try it again for sure.
But they've got a great brunch menu that deviates from the norm.
Pros: Good menu, bottomless mimosas, parking
Cons: midtown sleaze crowd

No complaints. Try the specials; they're typically the best on the menu. Brunch can get hectic, and you definately need reservations for it.
Pros: Food

We had an awful experience. The service was non-existent. My food was awful and the server NEVER came back to check on us. She actually looked right at me and turned around twice. I finally went up to the host stand for assistance. The manager came over and apologized. The server FINALLY came back over and refilled our drinks. This was after the rest of our party had finished eating. We left our check open with cash and credit cards showing. She walked by several times before picking up the check for us. I wouldn't recommend this place.
Pros: Guacamole was good
Cons: service is awful

hi. the food is well flavored and fantastic. i love the spring rolls, the goat cheese salad, the fish and chips, the jerked pizza and more. the place is cute and the food is different. brunch is badass. great cajun benedict, polenta, stuffed french toast... i will say the service can be on the slow side.

We were celebrating my best friend's 49th birthday witha party of 22. Very close to 1:00 P.M., the hostess came up to our table and loudly proclaimed that she needed our tables because a party of 25 was coming in. We quickly sang happy birthday, cut the cake, and people began to leave soon after. A few us hung around the bar because we weren't quite finished with the bottomless mimosas. After a bit, I went to the restroom and noticed that our table for 22 had been split into several tables. That made me very angry. I waited way past 3:00 P.M. for the arrival of the party of 25 that never showed. I went to the manager to complain. He seemed genuinly concerned, but our party was already gone. There was no way to get them back into the restaurant. If they wanted us to leave earlier, it might have been better to assign more than one waiter to our table of 22. I don't whether they asked us to leave because half our party was African American (I hate to use the race card, but I am baffled as to why they would ask such a large table to leave, especially a table that was spending lots of money) or if they simply wanted to get rid of us (we weren't stupid drunk). Either way, they party was ruined. The hostess was wrong!
