Firstly, Doolin seems to have a lack of places to eat. Not Fitz’s fault, but the fact that two others choose not to open on certain days of the week and another closes at 8 meant knock on problems for this place. We asked earlier...in the day and were told it was a walk-in service, no booking. Arrived after 8 and were asked if our name was on the list, we explained that it wasn’t, we were told it was walk in. Apparently this changed as too many people walked it that evening so they started to take names. Around 8:55 we were advised that they might not be able to take our party of 4, the local takeaway was closing in 5 mins so we could go there or gamble waiting for Fitzs, but if a table didn’t become free by 9:20, we would be turned away. This was stressful with two small children, but we decided to stay. We eventually got a table. Food was ok, service was slow, wrong wine was brought but we just drank it at that stage. After main courses we waited a lot time to have the table cleared. I called a waiter and asked him to take our finished dishes & bring the dessert menu. He replied that the kitchen was closed. The kids who had been waiting ages for their ice cream were devastated. We said they’d eat it quickly, but there was no chance. Very disappointing experience. Apparently they were short staffed but should warn customers of when the kitchen will close.More
