Our second visit here 11/15/25 for dinner & drinks. Sat at the bar & were greeted by Melissa, Kathy's daughter, who brought us drinks & menus on this busy Saturday evening. Draft beers $6.75 & wines $6.25, full bar service available. Dinners were baked haddock fillet topped with a panko parmesan crust, and drizzled with a lemon-dill aioli. Served with rice pilaf and mixed vegetables. ($27) - Delish! And a chicken tender app - three very large chicken tenders with spicy garlic parm sauce (choice of 10 wing/tenders sauces - ($15). Cosy neighborhood favorite tavern. The bar is friendly & fun. Bar with hightops, big front dining room, and rear dining room that can be reserved for parties. Plenty of parking in their rear lot & street parking. Hours: Wed-Sun 4-9:30pm. Thanks to "Captain" Kathy, Melissa, & the crew. We will be back Nick & Liz, Albany, NY USA

Great spot for delicious pub food and exceptional service! I…read morevisited on a Friday night and was sat immediately at a high top table. The waitress was incredibly friendly and gave us an overview of the specials. When I saw the Peanut Butter & Jelly Wings, I knew I had to try them! And when the waitress said the wings won awards, I was sold. They were delicious! They were actually more on the savory side - more like a peanut sauce that you would find in Thai cuisine. They also were topped with crushed peanuts, giving them a nice crunch. For our entrees, I ordered the Steak Sandwich, and my boyfriend ordered the Tugboat Tavern Stuffed Burger. My sandwich was huge and full of steak! It was great, as were the hand-cut fries. My boyfriend also loved his burger. Overall, a really solid pub food spot. Highly recommend!

Our family of five with kids were up for trying something new and this place did not disappoint. The apps - homemade chips and salsa as well as pretzels w/mustard were yum. Food was made to order, expect to allow time for that. Everyone enjoyed their mains which were Reuben, wings and burger. I opted for the eggplant chips, which were slightly overdone but still tasty. Waitress was beyond friendly and attentive, she was great with the kids. I Would return and recommend if you're up for good food/service and hometown bar/restaurant vibe.

Food: We tried the braised short rib and prime rib, both delicious, with fair portion sizes and prices. Bread and butter included. The espresso cheesecake? Absolutely fantastic. Service: We had a reservation but waited 10 minutes, which was understandable; they were packed! Everyone was friendly, and our waiter was personable. TL;DR: Good food at a reasonable price, cute and simple interior, older crowd, cozy vibes.

My recent experience at Finn's was exemplary from beginning to end…read more I stopped by Finn's with a colleague for dinner. The exterior and the surrounding neighborhood doesn't really give a good indication of the goodness you'll find inside Finn's. Immediately upon entering, I was met with a lovely and bustling dining room. My colleague and I sat comfortably at a high top table. We began our experience with cocktails I got one of their specialty cocktails (it was a rye cocktail--I don't exactly recall the name of it). It was spirit forward and delicious. For my dinner, I got their chicken schnitzel. It was hands down the best chicken schnitzel of my life. It comes piled with a perfectly dressed caesar salad and topped with trout roe. My good gracious--I'll be dreaming of this dish. It was perfection. Our server was so kind and just wonderful throughout our experience. Can't really say enough--wonderful from beginning to end!

I had never been to Waterford, and my sister had been to this restaurant before and had fond memories. We were chastised a bit by the waitress, apparently we sat at a table that wasn't convenient, although there were only two tables occupied. I ordered the salad with grilled chicken and apples, with the poppyseed dressing, and my sister ordered the Big Salad. Wow, that salads could not have been prettier! The chef took such pride in the presentation and flavor of the food!! I would have given this place a five star review if the waitress had shown us more hospitality. There was ample parking in the lot on site and it was convenient to walk to from the Peeples Island Bridge.

I was looking forward to a bowl of French Onion Soup, but it was a disappointment. 3 stars at best. --The onion slices were not soft from a long sauté and not browned from proper preparation. --The broth was bland, and the bread pieces were mush. I ordered the appetizer Pub Ribs, and they were praise worthy as always. My friend enjoyed them as well. Another friend got a serving to go to bring home to her husband. The small salads were good. Their balsamic dressing is tasty. The Pumpkin Soup was a hit. One friend got the Gobbler Sandwich. It was about seven inches tall. She was surprised. You certainly could not take a bite sandwich style. The height came from the large amount of lettuce on top of the turkey. Another enjoyed a very good Reuben and coleslaw. Service was good at first since we arrived right at opening. Later, server was busy with other tables. She refilled cups of coffee but not water glasses. Our table was bussed mid lunch to remove used plates. Big issue: Two stars for the ambiance. Six of us were seated at a large round table in one corner of the main dining room. After 30 minutes of customers filling most tables, the NOISE level in the room was terrible! We could not even hear the person seating across the table. So much for merry conversation...
