    I've been to Fado a few times but never for Brunch. Tasty menu! I had the breakfast tacos, my sister had the hot ham and cheese, and my mom had the sandwich with avocado.

    Their late spring menu includes far fewer gluten free items than when I was there in early March. Cocktails are pricey. Service was fine but nothing special.

    Food was very good except they were out of kale for kale Caesar salad, server asked if Caesar w/ romaine lettuce was OK—we said yes. Server brought completely different salad with vinaigrette and items my daughter didn’t care for (which is why she didn’t order that salad to begin with).

    Went for mother's day brunch, and the service was incredibly slow. 90 minutes elapsed between ordering and receiving three meals. The food looked thrown together on the plates without much thought. One meal was cold, and the other two were lukewarm. I did not expect anything to be comped, but it would have been nice to get a free mimosa or something small as an acknowledgement that the service was very poor. I try to be understanding of the challenges the food service industry has been facing, but the place was nowhere near capacity and they have brunch every Sunday, so this was not a one-time event just for mother's day. In any case, I would give them another chance for dinner to see if anything improves as I liked the vibe of the place.

    Food was fantastic -- environment was great! My only complaint might be the noise level -- but maybe it was just the other patrons! A few times it was so loud, we couldn't hear each other talk.

    Fado is TERRIBLE; terrible service, terrible management, average ambiance, and average food. I doubt the restaurant makes it through another year; always has small crowds and slow, apathetic service. Nearby competitors in Bridge Park are a MUCH better choice.

    People usually gather for lunch to eat good food and to visit. It is impossible to visit when the room is so loud with music that you cannot talk but must yell. Will walk out next time I come and the music is this loud again.

    We reserved for a 'special occasion' lunch for two. Table was as requested, the service was very friendly and efficient, food arrived quickly, as ordered, hot. Overall we had a very good time. Minor downside is the noise level - the place was probably just over half full, but has tile floor and no sound-deadening on the ceiling, so the entire room enjoyed the vociferous merry-making by one group! The restaurant did not mention the 'special occasion' we had noted on the reservation, so neither did we! Overall it was a very good experience, food and service top rate.

    Always seems like they are tweaking the Irish Breakfast this time the pudding was cut really thin and overcooked. The bangers were also overcooked. We would visit more for brunch if the Irish breakfast was consistently good. The salmon and fried goat cheese appitizer were excellent.

    The food was excellent! I went with the Fish & Chips and it was the best in town. John was our waitress and he was very nice and knowledgeable about their menu. The beer menu isn’t very big so maybe I’d like to see some better options there, but overall it was a great experience there and will return.

    Parsnips, Brussels sprouts, fish, and lamb burger was delicious. The tartar sauce and coleslaw were, for the lack of a better word, yuck. Waitress was lacking for the type of establishment.
