FACT: i am a new yorker...
FACT: i hate poutine...
but I do love fries, and i love things on my fries...
why on earth would i do that? for fries and stuff on my fries of course!!! BUT NOT GRAVY!!! i love the layout....it's very wide open when you first walk in....they seemed to have enough room for private parties.... my cousin that lives in the area suggested this place, and something has to be said about the comfort factor of this bar...
my dear yelpers, a five-star burger experience is about the sides, the drinks, the service and the atmosphere....and Fionn MacCool's delivered on all fronts!
this Irish pub (could you guess by the name) sits unassumingly on a quiet corner just in Ajax. i was worried about the quality of food, but was seemingly impressed!!
once inside, you're exposed to worn, strip-hardwood floors, cozy little side-rooms (good luck getting one after five or during lunch on a weekday) and a dining area that somehow manages a warm feel despite its sprawl across the rooms. the décor is classic Irish pub with nothing specific to write home about but overall is very homey...
the lamb was thick and juicy, and you could tell it was made in-house...it was best grilled medium-rare, which left it pink in the middle, but didn't have to deal with dripping blood as the ground beef kept all the juices in the meat, instead of on my plate. i asked for a pulled pork dish, and while visually I thought I had been shorted on the fromage, it turned out to be the perfect amount and lent a beautiful bite along with the hint of spices...
the service was prompt, charming and comfortable....it's always nice to deal with someone who knows their menu....
