Staff are friendly and efficient, it has a happy fun vibe. The atmosphere is the same. Food was tasty, the beef stew and steak pie were big hits. Calamari was very tender. The wagyu dumplings came recommended and did not disappoint.

Stopped into Fionn MacCool’s for a solo lunch and left impressed. I also placed a takeout order for coworkers, and the staff handled everything quickly and efficiently. Service was friendly, fast, and attentive from start to finish. The star of the visit was the Cajun Salmon Bowl. Flavorful, fresh, and exactly what I was craving. The Cajun seasoning had just the right kick, and the bowl was filling without feeling heavy. My only suggestion would be a slightly larger salmon portion—but that’s only because it was so good! Great food, great service, and a smooth experience all around. I’d happily order the Cajun Salmon Bowl again.

Food was great. Service great. Tables were a little too crammed in for my liking. A bit more of a gap between tables would be better. Other than that it was fine.

Took 20 mins to be acknowledged for drink order after being seated. We ordered Pepsi‘s and ice waters, and we only got Pepsi‘s because they ran out of glasses. Don’t go here if you are vegetarian and looking for something good to eat . They have 3 options, neither appetizing. They were very understaffed and our waitress was run off her feet. We would ask a question about the menu, she would quickly leave and ‘do a lap’ and not come back for another 20 -30 minutes to take our order. When all was said and done, it took us over an hour just to order our food. Terrible experience, terrible service, and not great food. Won’t be back for a long time.

Fionn’s never disappoints. Great meal, great service. We started with the nachos. They were very delicious. I had the Guinness Steak and Mushroom pie. It was delicious. Spouse had fish and chips. He was pleased with his choice as well. We enjoyed our meals very much. We will definitely return.
