| - Just tried O'Finn's Irish Temper out last night, and I'm impressed. The prices are a bit steeper than I'd like, but the food was excellent, and so was the ambiance of the restaurant.
My partner and I started out with the pretzel crusted chicken wings with the mild sauce, which I could have sworn were called double crusted on the menu, not pretzel crusted, but hey, it's a bit dark in there. The wings were fantastic, sweet and spicy and perfect. I would go back for these wings. They came with some veggie sticks and blue cheese dressing, both of which were great.
For our meals, I ordered the fish and chips, while my partner ordered the bangers and mash. My meal was great. The fish was delicious, flakey, tender, and the tarter sauce was very good. The chips were crispy and delicious. I'm not really a coleslaw person, but the bit I had of the coleslaw that came with the meal was quite lovely.
My partner thought the bangers and mash were just "alright." I, myself, do not like sausage, so I wouldn't think much of it, but he said the sauces that came with it were "confusing" to his palate. He did eat the meal, however, and he liked my fish when he tried it.
The atmosphere is very chocolate brown, slightly dark, and can be loud from the drinking crowd (what, people drinking in an Irish pub?), but we didn't mind. There was a nice fire going, and the whole establishment seemed upscale and lovely. The chairs were very sturdy for a large bottom, something I quite appreciate. :)
Overall, I liked it very much. The waitress was very nice and professional, and the look was fab, as was most of the food. I would definitely go here again!
