Reviews for Finnegan's Marin Restaurant & Bar in Novato, CA
Good atmosphere, live music. But beer was flat and the fish in my fish and chips weren't cooked 100%. Also, the food was very... bland, I think it had 0 salt or seasoning. No too happy considering how much I actually paid for it. Would not recommend unlessyou only want to grab a beer or two. Read more
Great bar in downtown Novato. Coolest Irish bartender from Ireland working there...sweet, and adorable. Food was decent and the... beer was cold!! Read more
The experience was 5 stars. The 2 cocktails my friend had were also 5 stars. One cocktail.was made with a special type of... Tequila, the other had rye, chocolate bitters & something else. The Rye cocktail was outstanding she said. The service wasimpeccable. The food was so, so. The fish & chips were too greasy. Yes, I know they're meant to be greasy. I'm all for thegrease but not when it makes the dough soggy. It's too bad. Fries were good. Brussel sprouts were mushy & didn't taste great.The atmosphere is great. It worth going there. They might have a better deep fry cook the next time. Read more
Food is pretty good ???? the wine is great
Finnegan's is a great Novato restaurant. The staff are always friendly, the food is delicious (try the Irish Poppers...yum!),... and the outdoor seating is great. A wonderful spot to grab a bite and a cocktail in downtown. Read more
Love this place! Great staff, and lots of new menu items now, a new brunch menu on sundays, and KIDS EAT FREE on sundays!
I love the food here but this place takes FOREVER to get to you. I went today and it took a considerable amount of time to get... plates out. It's not an isolated incident either. Every time I go here it take a long time and we end up being there for acouple hours. Today they had an easter brunch and I figured it would be busy and expected a long wait but to my surprise, itwasn't that bad as far as guest volume goes. Another nice surprise was that they installed an outdoor sidewalk seating area thatwas pretty nice. However, I was shocked at the overall wait. Even with the volume of diners there it still took forever. Inoticed that the waiters support staff were pretty much non existent as well. Diners had to flag people down for things likerefills. Another shocking thing was that the usual sunday dollar mimosa was $7 for easter brunch. The table sitting behind upflipped out over that. We were shocked too. If they could find a way to get the operation to run more efficiently I would gomore often and they would turn a bigger profit but as is I wouldn't recommend this place unless you have about 2 hours to kill.
