Editorial Review for Farrago – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The restaurant has become the headquarters of choice for those who live in the surrounding apartments and lofts, as well as those stopping by for dinner and drinks before heading home from downtown. The mustard- and brown-tufted interior, paired with de rigueur stained-concrete floors provide the backdrop for hip 20- and 30-something singles and couples dining on Thai curry mussels or lightly fried calamari served with wasabi mayo and basil-laced marinara.

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.
