I have lived and worked in the Town of North Hempstead for many years. While I know many peole who come here on a rergular basis and enjoy... living on the other side of Northern Blvd give me multiple options for dining. I finally had an opportunity to visit with my KIwanis club for a lunch. Nothing too fancy but I'm finally coming here. This shop is located right on Main Street with plenty of parking I got a very close spot. This is beautiful shop with a very focused staff. Our lunch group was sitting in a smaller side area by a window which gave us a lot of light and definitely brightened the mood. We had our own special price fix lunch menu so it was not an experience where we would get a chnace to sample different foods. I had the Turkey Burger special which which came with a loaded burger and fries. Simple and very tasty, cooked according to my instructions. I know a lot of people who come here on a very regular basis and enjoy everything. I will definately be making a return trip. KUDOS to the team at Finn MacCools read more

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. read more

Nice establishment, nice staff. The food is good. They have a prefixed menu that was only $25 a person. The options are chicken with mushrooms, salmon, or filet mignon served with mixed vegetables and mash potatoes. The desert was chocolate cake. I didn't give 5 stars because the parking lot is small. read more

Tried it for brunch as we were heading to a concert at the library. A mistake I will not make again. Ordered a ham and cheddar omelette where the ham was diced into hard-to-find dots and the cheese was virtually non-existent. Manager took it off the bill and threw out what was not eaten. I would have preferred to take it home and fix it up with actual ingredients. Husband enjoyed the French toast with bacon. Glad they brought muffins to the table. That was my meal. read more

Best restaurant in town. I have lived in this town for nearly 70 years I've been to them all, you will not be disappointed it is all you would want and all that you would need for that special restaurant. read more

Beautiful place with great parking. Outstanding host and manager. The menu is varied, and the food was great. My NY strip was cooked to perfection, and my husband loved his fish. The cheesecake is superb. I would not allow wait staff to chew gum while working, and I did not give it five stars. Will be back when visiting the area. read more

So overpriced for nothing.. food was uncooked and unseasoned, service was slow but nice.

Extremely pleasant staff, cosy atmosphere, nice open bar space authentic Irish cooking, great place to watch sports

Amazing food, great service, and great spot to hang out with friends. Perfect pub ambiance on a Friday night.

This is a favorite place of our with such a wonderful atmosphere. The service is excellent. We had a vegan option, teriyaki cauliflower with lemon rice that is a perfect mix of sweet and tart. The side of grilled asparagus was a perfect compliment. read more

Hey, New to the Area, and we were told to check out MacCools? So we did...and it was wonderful!!! I love the vibe, service was spot on, and their food was so so good... Everything from their calamari, and Pizza, to the ribeye and pasta specials... The music was great and the crowd was upscale beachy and we had a blast at their oversized bar!! Can't wait to come back and have a good time once again... heard the onion soup is to die for, so I look forward to that.. Thanks read more

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. read more

I'm surprised to see this spot only has 3 stars. I came here for lunch with my cousin mom and dad today. The ambience was great- there is a huge bar that has really comfy chairs and many different options for seating. We sat at a table and each ordered a glass of wine - good pours! I ordered the shrimp lump crab cakes - the shrimp and crab were awesome in the cake! My mom ordered the lobster salad - also really good. My Cousin ordered ceaser salad with seared tuna - she said It was great. My dad ordered the pizza with shrimp - I didn't think I would like that combo but It wasn't bad! It was a thin crust pizza! We ordered sweet potato fries for the table and they had to be the best i ever had! Nice and crispy! For desert we split the chocolate bash Irish cake (I think was called that). All in all I really enjoyed it and would go back! read more

We had a fantastic experience last night at Finn's. The ambiance in the bar area was great, noise level was good for talking, the waitstaff was super attentive and the food and drinks were great and the fireplace was the perfect touch. We ordered almost everything on the bar menu and we enjoyed it all, particularly the margarita pizza and the chicken wings, but really it was all good. I can't wait to go back and watch a game on one of the TV's and enjoy the welcoming place that Finn's is. We are lucky to have this pub on Main Street! Pro Tip: you can call a few days ahead and reserve a high top at the bar! read more

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. read more

We've booked dinner here the last three times we saw a concert across the street at the Landmark (theater) On Main Street. The shows we've seen were scheduled at 8:00, so we make the dinner reservation at 6:00 PM. Parking is an issue. They have a very attractive bar and one night we were entertained by nice live music. The service was attentive from the beginning, when we were greeted by their hostess, who located our reservation and had us seated immediately. Several times during our meal, the waiter inquired if we needed anything, etc., and a busboy refilled our waters often. They have both bar-style and yuppie cuisine. For example, my entree was an individual pizza, technically bar food, but they kicked it up a notch with medium-sized shrimp. Other than the shrimp, the pizza itself was okay, but not their strong suit. You couldn't hold it (with one hand) without folding it. Otherwise, the cheese would've just dripped off the soft doughy crust. My appetizer was a wedge salad. I was overly cautious in asking for the bacon bits on the side because they were delicious. However, I wished there were more cherry tomatoes (only 4 tiny ones, one for each corner of my plate) and the blue cheese sauce seemed heavy. My wife ordered much smarter than me this time and was thrilled with her Chilean Sea Bass dinner, which came with rice, broccoli and carrots. She also enjoyed her decaf cappuccino. I know I was happier with the food both of the previous times we were there. So next time, I'll stick with their upscale entrees. read more

Last weekend I stopped to FMC for Saturday lunch.The interior of this place is top notch both the bar and dining area. Out Server was very helpful and he told us has been working for the owners for many years. I had the Turkey Wrap and my friend had the Irish Steak Sandwich. The food was very good and they have a diverse menu.They have a full bar and they have a lot of live music, many Irish.I hear the nights are many times filled. This was my stopped here but I would definitely come back to this staple business on Main Street in Port Washington. G read more

Four of us went here today for lunch. It's the first time my husband and I have been there. There is a huge bar when you walk in. They've got a couple of dining areas. The ambiance there is inviting. I had the lobster salad. The lobster was chopped and served on 3 crostini breads, served with melted butter and horseradish sauce. The butter was good, of course, but the horseradish was delicious. There was a mixed green salad as well with a nice vinaigrette. The tuna salad was delicious. They are generous with the amount you get. It was cooked perfectly. The tuna crab cake salad was also good. Two nice size cakes, served with arugula. The shrimp and garlic pizza was delicious. It's got a very thin crust, cooked perfectly. I think the biggest hit was the sweet potato fries. They serve a generous amount. They came out steaming hot. They were crispy and crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. One of the best fries I've ever had. All 4 of us were impressed. We ended up sharing a brownie cheesecake. Instead of a crust on the bottom, it's made with chocolate. It doesn't get much better than that! I hope to someday come back here and definitely recommend to all. read more

2.5 stars - I waited a few days to simmer down before writing this. I had mixed feelings trying this place given the other Yelp reviews. This was based solely on this one experience. Walking in, the atmosphere was nice, spacious tables, clean décor and it didn't look like a typical Irish bar at all. I read reviews noting it was renovated recently; so it is no longer a pub. My family and I were seated within minutes by the hostess - no wait and on a Holiday! Our waitress was courteous but as the night went on, even her good service was not enough to save this review. We only ordered main courses as we were not too hungry. I had questions about the menu and the waitress was prompt to get the answers from the kitchen as she didn't know. That said, entrees were ordered at 7:20PM and we were set. When we got our drinks, she asked if we wanted a complimentary bread basket, which I replied yes. From here, we did not know it was all going to go downhill. Here's what happened: complimentary bread basket was brought to us, however, there were only 2 rolls in it and 2.5 breadsticks. There were four people at this table ...why only 2 rolls? This was not a big deal but still worth a mention. Patiently waiting, I noticed two things - the same waitress serviced many of the tables near me and other tables received slow service as well (the kitchen was to blame). Not good. I did waive over to our waitress and asked for more dinner rolls. By this time it was nearly 8PM. We ordered at 7:20PM (just entrees - where is the food?!) I did NOT complain. We sat patiently waiting and just continued our conversation. At one point, I asked if refills were free, the waitress politely said that no, they are not free. Then a moment of silence passed as I looked at her, she then offered to refill all of our drinks for free given the long wait we endured at this point. She did right by us here. To be fair, the manager came over to check-in on us several times that evening. I think she was seeing if our patience was wearing thin & to see if we noticed the delay. Her first check-in with us was more of a social visit. Made some small talk and complimented us on our shirts - it was the 4th of July so we all had on flag detailed shirts or red/white/blue color scheme. As more time passed, she came over again, this time to apologize for the long wait and said our food would be out shortly. She complimented us on being patient and how well behaved my children were. I did notice it was taking quite a long time - peered at my watch, it was about 8:15PM. Hunger pangs set in and my kids were starting to fidget, "where's the food?" I tell you, I held my tongue - even though it was well past an hour since we ordered. Even the section where we were seated, started emptying. All but two tables of diners were left. We were about the last ones by the time the food appeared. By this time, the manager appeared for the third time - apologizing once again, about 8:32PM. Thanked us for being patient yet again; said the entrees were coming in minutes. Here's why I am miffed at this situation - she did nothing. Nothing but empty apologies - didn't offer us drink refills, didn't offer more bread, nothing! She could've done something/anything ... she was the manager! This annoyed me so much so I finally asked, "Exactly what is the delay in our food?" She then commented about the kitchen ticket machine not working right and our orders never made it to the kitchen. OMG...seriously?!! Knowing this and the amount of time that had passed, they could've brought us something (soup/salad/comp an appetizer/offer drinks?! Grr. 8:40PM, food finally arrives! But sadly more disappointing. Hubby ordered the Filet of Sole stuffed with crabmeat (which lacked flavor, needed more seasoning). My son had the Kids' Bangers and Mash...a classic Irish dish. Sausages were great, mashed potatoes were only ok - could've used a little more butter. My daughter ordered the Penne a la vodka, totally over cooked. The penne was too soft. And the worst part, the sauce tasted bland, very watered down. It was just bad! I ordered the butter poached lobster over rice and spinach, that should've been good as per the description but fell flat. Not as buttery/flavorful as I hoped and while nicely plated and a good portion size, it was only ok. So ... even starving - the food didn't taste any better. I cannot recommend this place at all. And after this experience, I will NOT return. read more

The food and service was always only just "okay," and that might have earned 3 stars. But two recent experiences changed that. (1) We went there the other night planning to eat supper, but the stench of disinfectant - mainly chlorine-based - was so strong that we just turned around and left; and (2) my husband tried to book a party for his extended (Irish) family of about 30 people, but they could not be less interested. Never even bothered to return phone calls and messages left in-person with their staff. I will say the bar looks lively. Probably a good place for a drink, some bar food, and maybe meet someone. read more

6 of us were there for dinner. Had to ask for bread several times not only the first time but the second time. Ask the waiter to charge on meal separately, he did not do that, had to ask him several more times. My friend received a spoiled food and my fish was like rubber and rice and vegetables were over cooked. We will not return. read more

Enjoyed our group dinner at Finn MacCool's Irish Pub in Port Washington on a Saturday evening. Friendly service, and we were never rushed. Pluses: * Variety of Irish brewskies on tap * Family friendly * Live music on our nite there, Saturday * Burgers are popular (see pic) * Good selection of Irish Whiskies * Private parking lot and free street parking daily after 5 pm. * Though our group was large, no mandatory tip was added to bill. So our tip was greater. Small Gripes: * Beers were served in glasses less than a pint. Not sure why the short-pour * Suggest that Finn MacCool add Green and Yellow Spot Irish Whiskies Tips: * Check website for early bird specials, children specials, and Tuesday Senior Citizen discount nite read more

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. read more
