Finnigan's Chin

Tavern was clean and presentable. But I was not impressed by there not being physical menus available for patrons (Only 2 b&w printed pages were available). The only way to view a menu is via a QR code on the table and a smart phone. I even saw a staff member show an older couple the QR code and then just walk away leaving them to work it out themselves. If I hadn't been with a family group I would have walked out to be honest. This was my first time at this tavern and it just didn't have a welcoming vibe to it. I also ordered some drinks, two of which were simple lemon lime bitters and you really need to train your staff how to make them. If your bar staff don't start with the basics then they shouldn't be behind the bar at all. I ordered the naked linguini and even though it was very well presented the lemon in the dish was heavily overloaded and it overpowered the possibly great seafood in the dish which you couldn't taste because of it. I am a lemon lover and it was even way too much for me. I had to really push myself to get it finished which is a pity as I am sure the dish could be amazing

We went there last Saturday. 2 adults, 2 teens, 2 x 10yr old and a 4 year old. Order meals, all adult meals as kids meal is was only nuggets and chips, need a bit more options for kids if going to have family venue with kids play area. Plus my brother ordered an extra side of chips. We Order 2 x jugs of soft drinks. What we were shocked at is whilst Order via App, which is the only way to Order. Before we even had our food, or put order through, had any drinks, cheeky enough to ask for a tip. Yet no service provided as yet. My brother and I did have a giggle at this. Food was good, adult meals. Good pub meals. But whilst we were still eating....I mean I was even still nibbling on my chips. The waiter came around and took the glasses away. We had jugs of drink going. Odd as kids had just stepped away for a moment. Cleared their plates. But whilst chips still in my mouth, I was chewing, the waiter said have you finished with that, I was a little shocked and thought okay, yes...I don't need any more chips and just let her clear it away through full mouth. Then proceeded to clear away the side of chips we bought for the kids, these were for the kids to nibble on. My brother and I looked at each other a bit astounded. And proceeded to wonder if the restaurant was closing by 8pm on a Saturday evening. There was only 1 other table with patrons. As seemed rushed to take away our food and plates. Overall no complaints with the food that came out, but perhaps let patrons enjoy their dinner without the rush of clearing tables away.

My partner and I came out here with friends from Caboolture area and the menu did not have a lot to offer. But I ordered the fish and chips which was tasteless and bland and my partner ordered the porterhouse steak which tasted like it was boiled and then seared to finish. But worst of all was we ordered not even 5 minutes apart from our friends and their meals came out 30 minutes after our meals and they ordered crumb steak. Absolutely dissatisfied with our time here and definitely won’t be coming back. The excuse was they were busy there was barely 25 people dining I’d hate to see it they were actually busy. Get some staff that actually have experience and a kitchen staff that can actually run a kitchen as this was beyond a joke and they didn’t even offer our friends a drink or anything to compensate the wait time.

Hi. I brought some friends to your Tavern for the very first time on the 19th May and we ordered the fish and chips, steak and crumbed steaks. The amount of time we waited for our meals was just ridiculous atleast 45 mins. The fish was so small and not worth the price that was paid. The steak was burnt and tasted burnt. The crumbed steaks were horrible to eat. So very much an unpleasant experience. We travelled a fair way to come for dinner which made it unpleasant aswell. The kitchen staff didn't look to be doing any cooking or food preparation except just standing around. No free garlic bread or free drink was offered when we complained.
