| - So, I have returned to Fionn MacCool's hoping to have a better time than my first encounter.
When we walked in, the place was completely full it was about a 5-10 min wait for a table. The same hostess greeted us (and she was really nice the first time) so we were off to a good start. She gave us some menus to look through while we waited.
I have to say, much better experience this time around. We had a server named Shelley that was fantastic. My drink was never empty, she knew the menu, recommended things, and near the end when we gave her the letter the manager sent us to entice us back in, she was apologetic and wanted to hear all about the experience.
We got the Salmon and the Ale and Cheddar dip. Both delicious.
Maybe I was wrong about you, Fionn. We'll drink together again sometime.
I'll leave my old review below, just in case you're curious. This was around Oct/Nov

Well, we walked in at about 4:15, the hostess greeted us with menus and recommended a salad to us. That was our 2nd last interaction with the staff as we sat there for 15-20 minutes. We were one of 3 tables in the place, and in clear view of the bar. The staff just kinda stood around talking amongst themselves, while we stared in their direction. I could have yelled across to them, but customers were outnumbered by staff, I shouldn't really have to yell across a room. At this point I set the timer on my phone for two minutes and sat it on the table. The alarm went off, and we left. The hostess told us to have a good night on the way out.
About a week after I posted this review, I was contacted by the restaurant with an apology, and an incentive to come back in and visit.
