| - Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience with Feeney's. I'll start with the bad and end with the good.
First, the patio is tiny. If I were to sit on the patio, I had to share a table with someone else. Secondly, although the the wait staff were friendly, service was slow. I had a beer before the meal and requested that I get another when the meal came. My second beer came after I was finished eating. The waitress made the excuse that the keg needed changed. I get that, but it doesn't take the entire time of a whole meal to change a tap. The locals sitting near me suggested that I get the prime rib. $20 for the 8oz; based on the price, I was expecting a decent cut, but not exceptional. I was severely let down. I am aware that prime rib is fatty, but this one was more than half fat and gristle. $20 for about 4oz of edible prime.
Now for the good. The waitress was friendly and called me by name. I think it takes an impressive amount of effort to memorize your tables by name. Props to her. The potato skins appetizer was very good and had an adequate amount of sour cream on the side (I love sour cream). The baked potato was made well. The other patrons were obviously regulars and a whole conversation was happening all around me. They jumped right in to introducing themselves and included me in the talk. Finally, the horseradish with the prime rib was very tasty, with just the right spice.
I will not be returning to Feeney's for a meal, but I think it may be a decent place to drink.
