Generous portionsAtmosphereTasty food
I had my second visit to Finnegans in July 2026 and very much enjoyed my meal. I had a Chicken Kiev that came with a good portion of side vegetables, followed by a slice of Bailey's Cheesecake. There were a lot of interesting things to look at on the walls while we waited/had our drinks!
Came across this place looking for dinner on our first night and noticed they served traditional Irish food. The restaurant has a very nice, calm atmosphere with great wait staff.
I ordered the Shepherd’s Pie and my mom got the beef lasagna, and we both had the house wine. The portions were a generous size and you could easily tell the food was homemade. The entrees themselves were wonderful. The only downside was that the sides of vegetables and potatoes were a bit bland for my liking, but overall it was a great meal.
It seems to be a popular dinner spot as a lot of people queued up after we got seated, so plan to come before the dinner rush!
The food was excellent it tastes like something your Grandma would make for you, the Stew was fantastic with melt in your mouth pieces of lamb it was warm hearty and oh so filling! The roast chicken was juicy, and well salted served with a thin gravy to enjoy the chicken and mashed potatoes with. Over all excellent food and great atmosphere. The best description I could give you is that it feels like a medieval roadside inn it's quaint cozy warm and smells delicious! Could not recommend it more!
