She had something negative to say about the busboys, the servers, etc. These remarks were not directed towards me but to the other workers in her area. She kept making it seem like she was super busy and she would make remarks that I found to be very colorless and tasteless and almost racist. So I basically paid buffet prices for an omelet. If it were not for that station I would not have enjoyed my meal at all. The ONLY saving grace was the omelet station. The potatoes were extremely hard and there were other items that were just unattractive. I felt like I was in the lunch line again at junior high school. I go inside and walk to the back to the patio and to my surprise I see a sorry excuse for a buffet. I waited for her to return with my receipt for the buffet. I asked her what was on it and she said pretty much what’s on the menu is on the buffet. Since I was starved I decided to just do the buffet. The waitress proceeded to tell me that there was a 45 minute wait on any meal that I would order so she suggested that I order from the buffet. There was no wait which was a big plus in my book and I was seated outside. I came here for a Sunday brunch and since I have always seen this place rather busy I decided to try it out. The only reason it’s a three star kinda place is that it seems kinda pricey… maybe I’m just spoiled by amazing food for obscenely low prices. The food came out quickly, but not so fast that it made me question the quality. Our waitress and the manager checked on us constantly and kept our drinks full. Again, not overly sweet, but definitely rich from the custard. The white chocolate bread pudding for dessert really topped off the evening. They were fantastic and the husband agreed. But the jerk flavor, with the sweetness of the yam, really worked. I thought they might be baked, but alas, they were mashed. But the real standout item was the Caribbean jerk yams. The mango salsa was balanced well, not overly sweet or spicy. I’m fairly particular about my salmon, and Farrago’s handled it well. My only complaint would be the Romaloude sauce, which was too mayo heavy for my taste. It came with a nice side salad of fresh mixed greens and cherry tomatoes. They were chock full of fine crab meat, lightly breaded, then pan fried for a thin browned crust. For an starter, the crab cakes were cooked extremely well. The husband and I stopped in for a quiet weeknight dinner. I would term it worldwide fusion since it seems to blend Caribbean, Asian, Creole, French, and new American cuisine. Farrago’s has an interesting blend of cuisines.
