Reviews for Finbar's Portland Hills in Dartmouth, NS

Their chicken sandwich was so good! A bit of a dark environment but that just goes with it being an Irish bar. My bf ordered a... Guinness that literally looked like it came from a commercial! Service was great. Definitely coming back Read more

Nice little spot off the beaten path. Extremely fast and friendly service. Was there on a Saturday afternoon and they had live... music. Loved the fact that it wasn't overbearing, or loud. Perfect atmosphere. The mixed crowd of young and old tells you it's awelcoming place for all. Read more

Went Saturday October 29th at 11am for brunch. The food was not horrible but would not return. I had the Eggs Benny and there... was not a lot of hollandaise sauce and the eggs tasted like vinegar. There were ?greens? on the side that consisted of wiltedpackage spring mix with no dressing and the breakfast potatoes were flavourless. Unfortunately the worst part was our server. Typically Eggs Benny is served with ham or back bacon, I asked to have regular bacon. The response from the server was ignorantand completely rude. This was after she asked my partner what he?d like to drink and completely ignored me and flirted until mypartner shut her down and offered for me to order first as any gentlemen would. After that my partner attempted to pick up asalt shaker off the bar and she basically told him to sit back down. Apparently his dismissal of her pathetic attempts to flirtand be ignorant to me resulted in her horrible attitude being inflicted on him as well. This individual was the rudest server Ihave ever encountered and if I hadn?t been out to have a relaxing day I would have set her straight and walked out. The otherservers were very nice and I feel awful that they have to work with someone like that. I left before the bill even came becauseI did not want to encounter her anymore. When my partner didn?t leave a tip because of her behaviour she threw up her hands andhuffed at him?.we ALWAYS tip but this was unbelievably rude service. I realize that people have bad days and sometimes servicecan be off and I still tip but this was shocking - I wish I could have tipped her fellow servers she had doing half her work. Needless to say I will not be returning?.. Read more

It was a very hot day and the ac started to leak from the ceiling on to the table next to us. They were a large party and we had... just sat down, so we let the server know we'd be happy to move to allow the large table to shuffle out of the wet zone withminimal hassle. The food was fine enough, but not what we're used to from finbars. The veggies and rice with the pan friedhaddock were quite bland. The beet salad was dissapointing; it was mostly a dry bowl of arugula. The shrimp tacos were fantasticand the bruschetta was good. We had a few drinks and they were fine. Our night however, was abruptly cut short when we weretold that due to the issues with the a/c, the restaurant wouldn't be able to serve anything else. We did end up getting adessert to go but we were effectively ushered out of the restaurant early. I left feeling a bit confused and short changed; wehad invested a good chunk of our Friday night and had tallied up a decent bill for a small table. I was honestly surprised tofind not a single item comped after being asked to leave on their terms. They even charged for the cold toffee pudding we tookto go. Read more

Waitress was very pleasant. Beer was good. Batter on fish was too thick and it was not cooked all the way through. French... fries were well over cooked. Maybe need the grease changed out. Wings where ok but not crispy as advertised. There was food andempty creamers on the floor and on tables not being used. This was our first time at this facility and unfortunately We willnot be back. The worst experience of everywhere we have eaten. Read more

My family loves coming here for celebrations. Excellent brunch menu with eggs benny, breakfast burger, and more at the moment.... The dinner menu never disappoints. The menu does change quite frequently so a lot of my favourites have come and go but I havenever had a bad experience and always get to try something new. Everything is reasonably priced. Patio is available in thesummer. Nothing bad to say about this restaurant. Read more
