We had dinner here on friday and we were blown away! Such lovely decor... the tables set with a lovely candle. It felt cozy but also elegant. The food was amazing as well, hubby had the fish and chips and I enjoyed a shepherds pie, it was delicious. The shepherds pie was delicious, I usually am nervous about eating things like that out but man was it ever good! The menu was so great, options for everyone... even vegetarian options!!! it was hard to choose but the amazing server, Leah helped us make a decision. She was knowledgeable and very attentive. Our drinks were not empty once and we didn’t see her without a smile, despite the busyness. Overall it was an amazing first experience at Fionns Bowmanville. We will definitely be back to try some more of the amazing menu items. Thanks to the great service and the amazing chefs who made our food! If you want somewhere with taste come here!

Visited Fionn last month and had a great experience! We started with the crispy calamari, which was absolutely delicious. For mains, we ordered the chicken schnitzel and their famous fish and chips—both were flavorful, generously portioned, and satisfying. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for lunch or dinner in Bowmanville. Highly recommend!

Sarah was a fantastic server! Her patients when we were deciding what we wanted, to her quick service, showed she is very skilled in her trade. Her great attitude, will definitely have us coming back again. Beer was cold and food was hot and fresh, cant wait to plan our next outing.

The food was fantastic and service great. Had a large gathering of people, and it didn't affect how fast food was served. The server had no problem handling all the people. Had 4 children in the group, and they got their food first as requested. Slight variations to menu items were not a big deal, and we got everything done perfectly. Will definitely go back as this was a first-time visit.

Stopped by for dinner. Greeted and seated promptly. Wonderful varied menu, lots of specials. Good wine selection. Food was so delicious! I had the one piece fish & chips, my husband had wings with a side Ceasar salad. We had a cheese cake for desert with chocolate sauce, so good! Service with Regan was friendly and prompt! I would definitely recommend.

We came in last night for the half price bottles of wine! It was absolutely amazing. The patio was rocking. The staff were quick and efficient. Leah our server took care of us, ally the manager checked in, and we even had a few others come by and make sure we were okay! The food was fantastic, I had a pound of wings, they came out fast and tasted excellent! We also love the new renos, the light signs were awesome and super cool. Great vibes.

Was in the restaurant last night and had Leah as my server, she was very sweet and knew her stuff when it came to the menu and making drinks. Both the food and drinks were amazing, the environment was great. I would highly recommend not only the restaurant but Leah and all of the other servers there as well. They’re all amazing with customers and it seems they have a lot of regulars coming in so it shows. Thank you to everyone working last night!!!
