Great service and impeccable food! Had some great sports games on as well! Also, they had great 70's music playing.

The food was good. Service was disorganized. The servers had to be reminded multiple times to refill water. We split the bill and the waitress double charged one of the ppl in the party. The music started late. There wasn't a visible clear sign where the parking for the establishment was. It needs to work on small details to make for a better experience.Parking: It is not very clear where to park. There are two parking lots, one is shared with a drs office and you can't park there was my understanding. On the other side there is another one but is not clearly marked so not sure what the situation is. All street parking was occupied so I parked at the library parking area further down the road and was wondering all night whether I will get a ticket. Unpleasant parking experience.

Enjoyed a meal before heading to a performance across the street at The Landmark-Jeanne Rimsky Theatre. Parked across the street between Finn McCools and the theater which was ideal. Park once and enjoy NOT having to drive around after dinner looking for another parking spot. I ordered the Finn McCools burger which was delicious! Burger on a gourmet bun with perfectly cook strips of bacon, Irish cheddar, lettuce & tomato, along with a generous side of French fries... for under $20. My husband order the fish which was okay. For $31 he thought the portion of fish was a little small along with the rice and veggies portion. We split a desert which was a very rich brownie topped with ice cream, whipped cream, strawberries and a carmel sauce. So glad we had room in our stomach to split this decadent dessert. The service was and always is excellent at Finn McCools. The manager came round to our table to make sure we were enjoying everything that Finn McCools has to offer. Made us feel valued as customers which is why we have been customers for decades.

Seated immediately and service was fast. We usually sit at the bar but tonight got a table. Saturday night and the place was quite loud. They had a mushroom barley soup special which I got and it was tasty but came out lukewarm. Split a fish and chips order and the fish wasn't seasoned at all. The batter was crispy but it was very dry fish. Probably the least moist fish and chips I've ever had. Staff very nice but will probably stick to happy hour, going forward.

Great comfort food. The restaurant is segmented instead of a big open room which gives it a homey feel.

First time here...restaurant is very clean and has an invting/warm atmosphere. We sat away from the bar as we had our two under age children with us, but it seemed like a really nice bar area and would definitely revisit with m husband alone or with friends for a drink! Food was REALLY good ... we started with the crab cakes and fried calamari, and had the pot roast and shepherds pie for dinner. Everything was great, but the pot roast was DELICIOUS. So tender, lots of gravy to dip the mash potatoes and keep it all moist, and the red cabbage was a wonderful compliment. Only complaint ... appetizers and kids' meals came out but waiter forgot the drinks. Could not find him to ask for my glass of wine but the hostess instead asked us if everything was ok with the apps and kids meals, and let her know. She in turn told the waiter. Then had to remind him about bringing an apple juice for one of the kids as well. Had to ask twice for water refills, because he forgot the first time we asked. We were never offered (nor did we remember) the ice cream for the kids meals. Maybe he was distracted, but certainly didn't pay much attention to the table even though it was early and not busy at all (just two tables occupied in the dining area). Will return.

Went there on Saturday before Christmas. I knew that we were going to an Irish pub but this was a huge step up from a typical pub and pub food! The place is modern with updated, bright decor. The hospitality was second to none. Very friendly and helpful. I has the pot roast that was delicious the others with me had fish and chips and they all raved about it as well. And nice cold Harp on tap! Highly recommend it.
Last night we had a combo dish at the beautiful bar that was delish,great service.Small misunderstanding on order Suggest servers do not argue learn to compromise. All in all a great night.

Having attended a performance at the Landmark (Rimsky Theatre) on Saturday our party of 9 adults and 2 kids thought we'd enjoy an after show dinner at Finn MacCools across the street. OK 8 happy meals and mine not so happy since it seemed I ordered the rack of lamb( $44.). Everyone got their orders except me. When my family was finished (including their expresso) I was still waiting for my entree` I was given 2 excuses, the first one my plate was given to another table and the second that my entree` was dropped so here I sit, here I wait getting hungrier and madder during my wait. OK Now is the time for someone to tell me my meal was and dessert was being comped but NOPE, my $44 lamb and $12 German layer cake were on our bill which we paid. Sorry to make this so long critique but patrons should know about this experience.

Misinformation about brunch menu. Ordered brunch which came with two beer-no instruction given by waiter that all taps are not included-charged $9 watch for Blue Moon and IPA 16 oz. -when inquired about charge waiter indicate that he told us when ordering that they were not included. Completely false-paid the bill not to cause any hardship for my family and grandkids-wish they would have been truthful or clearer with the menu options for drinks.

This place has a good amount of negative reviews that I never even bothered to read because I've been to the spot multiple times in the past. Last night me and my friend got dinner and then decided to grab a drink before we ended our night. I suggested this spot because a friend who lives in Port Washington had told me about it in the past and whenever I went previously I had no problem. The last few times I went was with a male friend who got our drinks and at that we never had an issue. However, last night my friend and I got a booth and then waited a bit to go to the bar and order a round. We waited around 10 mins until we were approached by the highly unappealing, old female bartender. With a nasty look on her face she said "gonna need ids ladies." Now I fully understand a place that serves underage locals and had issues in the past needs to be cautious of people who aren't from P.W. and could be underage. My friend and I are 25 though.. we grabbed our ids handed it over and I waited a good 20 seconds while she starred at my id, I said "I was born in 1998 I'm 25." She continued to stare at it and goes "I know." I waited again and at this point it was uncomfortable, I said "I'm 4 years over the age limit what's the problem?" at that she throws my id down and says "I don't know what your problem is." She picks up my friends id looks at that and then walks away without another word to us. My friend and I were very confused by the interaction. Anyway, we waited and no bartender would come over because she told her two coworkers not to help us either. We went back to our booth continued to chat and then a group of guys who were from P.W. offered to grab us a drink, they also weren't served drinks because of us. At this point my friend and I were going to swear off this place as an embarrassment of an establishment and go somewhere else when I assume the manager (he never addressed us with his position) comes over and says he needs our ids. We gladly handed them over seeing as they're our valid NY licenses that prove there was no reason for us not to be served! He comes back 5 minutes later and tells us they won't scan and that he's going to take them. Now I'm livid at the whole interaction, I call his bluff and tell him to show me they won't scan, he claims it's behind the bar and he's not taking me behind the bar... I say I will stand in front of the bar and watch it not scan! He ignores that and tells my friend and I that we will have to pick up our licenses tomorrow at the police station. At this point I threaten to call the police because he clearly thought we would be naïve enough to allow him to walk all over us and take our valid identifications, just because his foul bartender didn't like us. Once I said I would call the police he instantly handed the ids back. All I can say about this place is I'm so embarrassed for them, they hate their jobs and it shows as they try to feel big in some way by treating other people badly. I pity them.

Staff and management are so helpful and pleasant. Had 2 small children with us and they were very accommodating. Was unhappy with a meal... no questions asked... apologized and brought us something else. Our other meals were delicious. I had a pot roast and another had burgers.. all were great.
