They are a fine dining restaurant.They have brunch from 10-3 and they specialize in Italian food. You can have a nice time with your loved ones and you can celebrate special occasions. It is a really nice atmosphere and they have amazing customer service. I recommend to all. I would come again.

Today, my wife and I celebrated our baby shower here with many of our friends. Farington's restaurant was able to accommodate our group of 15 people with no problem. Everyone really enjoyed the food and the staff were very attentive. Thank you very much for the wonderful service. Will be back in the future.

Service was attentive. Brunch was excellent and different from other menus I've seen. Pre meal pastry was a nice touch. Should include coffee/tea.

We celebrated a birthday party with the closest family of 21 people for brunch. The service was extremely attentive, the food was incredible, the space warm and inviting we came in at 10:30 in the morning and did not wanna leave, we were never rushed And ended up leaving at 2 o'clock in the afternoon! Will definitely be returning! Thank you, Chris, Sophia, and Keeley. A special thank you to the chef and the manager for making us feel like family.

Faringtons NEVER disappoints. The ambiance is perfect and the owner is unlike any other! He is so friendly and always greets guests. The food is always delicious.

We’ve come here twice for Mother’s Day. Last year they were a bit slow and disorganized but the food was good, so we came again this year.

Obviously being a holiday, we know it’ll be busy. However, they are severely understaffed and underprepared, to the point where there’s no excuse. We were sat late. To start they put out a single cold bagel without any butter, jam, or anything else.
Two different waiters came over to ask if we ordered, and we hadn’t. They brought one of our three plates over ten minutes before the others so the other parties sat there waiting. It was completely disorganized, and the food was unfortunately lacking in quality and quite over priced for what you get. My shakshouka came with chicken (it traditionally doesn’t have chicken in it) which wasn’t mentioned on the menu. My brother’s potatoes came out cold. The chicken just tasted like oil. 2 of the 3 dishes come with lukewarm chunky potatoes. None of the waitstaff seemed like they knew what was going on. The bathroom sink wasn’t working when we were there.
Also, I find it odd that the receipt when you pay doesn’t list the cost of the items…

Again, totally understand what it’s like to be swamped, we’ve all worked in food service before. But this was a pretty unfortunate experience and we likely won’t be back.

This spot feels like a hidden gem. Okay, it's probably just new to me.

Great food. Healthy portions.
Great staff. Very attentive.
Unassuming ambiance. Inside looks way better than outside.

Definitely will be here again.

The food was disappointing. They have a small menu, which usually means a focus on fresh ingredients and quality dishes, but everything looked and tasted like the generic pre-made frozen food that you'd get in a cheap bar or low end diner.

The crab cakes come deep fried which is an obvious tell they were frozen. The presentation is really sad with these deep fried brown blobs and a carpet of bland lettuce on the plate.

The BBQ ribs were horrible. I had to return them. The meat didn't taste fresh, had chunks of fat on it and didn't come off the bone easily. It was a lot more chewy than tender. These were some of the worst ribs I've ever had.

Ended up settling on a burger. It was a 4 out of 10. Cheap generic high fructose syrup buns with meat that was of questionable freshness. I asked for medium rare, it was more like a medium well.

I don't understand why this restaurant has such a high rating (4.9 stars when posting this review). The place was almost empty at peak dinner time. A big red flag I should have heeded. Left disappointed feeling like I should have just cooked at home. Would have been a better prepared and much cheaper meal.

I have been to Farington's multiple times, and the food, service and atmosphere are consistently great. I highly recommend for lunch or brunch. I haven't had dinner there, although I am sure it is as delicious!

Always a delightful meal. Good food in a relaxed atmosphere. Our host farrington is most concerned that his guests enjoy the evening

We had a group of 7 we used to book via OpenTable. I received no fewer than 10 phone calls/emails to confirm over and over again that we were indeed coming. I understand it is a small place but if this is an issue take a credit card number to hold the reservation. The service was off the charts great. The servers were very helpful and they were HUSTLING. I had the macaroni and cheese balls which were good but they could have been hotter and I would have loved a side of marina to dip them in instead of lettuce. My friends corn chowder was really good. Everybody liked their food and there was plenty of it.
