1/9/2011 - Sunday Brunch. Crowded - which is a good sign. I had the buttermilk pancakes and sausage - awesome. My wife had some kind of egg and three cheese dish, which she loved. The new owner (Howard) was there and he helped us get a table - very friendly, talented guy working hard to make it a great experience for everyone. Waitstaff quick, competent and pleasant. We don't get to that part of town often, but Farrago will be our preferred destination when we do.
Been there at least 3 or 4 times. Food is always good no matter what I try off the menu. We always sit at the bar, get prompt service. Atmosphere is great. Bar guys are friendly, easy to talk to.
Yet another great time at Farrago the other night, 12/15/07. Awesome service from the hostess to the waiter to the manager who came by to make sure everything was ok. My entree was the Cioppino which is an Italian seafood stew of sorts and was delicious--the best I've had in Houston. My buddy had the Mahi Mahi stuffed with crabmeat--perfectly cooked--which was a dinner special. Great wine list full of uncommon wines and the standards. Fun, festive atmosphere.
