    Nice selection of dishes. Everyone at our table was pleased…. Except one person who ordered the salmon bowl and if there was one ounce of salmon, that’s as much as there was. That was disappointing. Was definitely not worth the price for that dish. The rest were all good. Service was good and we did have an enjoyable evening.

    We went there for New Year’s Eve. High expectations. We were so let down. Most of us wanted steaks and they were all out, our reservation was for 7:00, so still pretty early. Some of us then had chicken schnitzel. This was a glorified processed chicken cutlet with cheese on it. I couldn’t find the sauce it was supposed to have. The seasonal veggies that it promised was a pile of nothing but green beans. The potatoes were absolutely flavorless…and yet it cost us a whopping $170!! Such a disappointing meal. We won’t be back again too soon. If ever.

    Ordered the Montreal smoke meat sandwich and was disappointed about the very small amount of smoke meat (3 thin slices) on the sandwich. Having been in Montreal and having "real" smoke meat sandwiches, I was looking forward to see if it would be similar but it was no where near the quality. The sandwich was closer to a grilled cheese sandwich than Montreal smoke meat. Please ensure this feedback is given to Fionn MacCool's as they need to do better! Rob Edwards

    Spinach dip was cold at the bottom. Portions were small. Charged on bill for something we didn’t have. Will not return
