Our waitress’ name was Brittany. We loved Brittany. She was well educated on what was gluten free for me to eat, gave us a whole apron tour (my mom was interested in getting the same one for her job), and was overall a delight! This is the only restaurant I look forward to going to every year for breakfast. It has a whole gluten free breakfast menu, whereas most places have eggs as the only option. And they have Brittany…who was wonderful.

Went here for dinner with my wife while we were on vacation, figured we try something new. The food was amazing, we got the paella Valencia bowl(bought 2 by accident we didn’t realize how big it actually was!) so we had plenty to take home. My wife also got the watermelon salad and I got the beef empanadas which were also really good. The view of the bay is also very pretty. Jose was a great waiter he made sure we were taken care of and made sure my wife’s order was put in properly (she has celiac disease). Can’t wait to go back to OCMD and dine here again.

Came here for the first time a few days ago, and the service and food was so good that we came back today. We came in around 11am and were immediately asked if we wanted to see gluten free, vegan, or brunch menus. They sat us down and our server, Kellen, brought everyone water without us having to ask for it. He was so friendly and took our order (party of 4) without writing anything down so i was a bit skeptical. We each had multiple very specific modifications with our food, so I didn’t think he would remember them, but he got every single detail right. Was funny, friendly and warm, and got us boxes and the bill at an appropriate time, and refilled drinks as soon as he saw they were slightly low.

I really enjoyed my food and drink. My family was not as impressed. I had an Irish coffee with a club on a gluten-free bun. The sandwich had a huge amount of turkey, and the bacon was nice and crisp. It came with a lot of chips. I needed to ask for mayo as it only came with a small smear of Dijon. One kid had the same on a pretzel bun and enjoyed his as well, but also said his was dry and added mayo. 2 kids and my husband tried the mac and cheese. They all said it was mid. It was explained as sticky and dry. It was not creamy at all. The crab mac seemed to have cheese on the top and bottom but not the middle. One kid said they tasted the crab in the mac, and the other one said they couldn't taste it at all. She barely touched her meal, and we came in hungry! The thing that brought the rating down the most was my husband's meal. The ceasar salad did not have enough dressing to even speak on the flavor. The rack of ribs maybe had 2.5 ounces of meat. That "rack" was about as big as my husbands palm. It was one of their higher priced dishes and was totally disappointing. The barbecue sauce was an afterthought. It was smeared on and not even put back into the oven to caramelize. My husband also had some wine that he said tasted like box wine. One kid had fish and chips. I tasted the fish. I thought it was pretty good. The batter could have been lighter. The inside was a little mushy. Kid didn't really eat his meal. He had half of his dad's mac and my chips. But that worked out. My hubby was able to substitute his lacking meal. One kid had nachos. He enjoyed them and almost finished. This is from a kid who complains about nothing. A true gem in this world! All in all, for the price, we felt "mom could do better." In fact, my husband said he could do better. In all fairness, I love being in the kitchen and have about 20 years of making things from scratch, but it hurts when we spend $250 and are not satisfied. The service was great. Atmosphere was bar like. Food was only there to soak up alcohol if you had 1 too many drinks and had to beg the kitchen to turn on the fryer 30 minutes before closing.

We really enjoyed our meal here. There were lots of gluten free options (including crab cakes!), and the staff seemed very well-versed in dietary restrictions. And how many places offer endless sides?! Our server, Sierra, was great: friendly, professional, and efficient. The view from upstairs is incredible. We have nothing but good things to say about this place and we'll definitely return in the future!

We went for Lobster night!! My fam all had lobster and absolutely loved it. I ordered the vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy free stir fry on noodles.... and wow... this dish was phenomenal. The flavor of the dish was amazing ... the most stand-out taste explosion for my palette was the incredible cauliflower steak placed on top of the dish.. all I can say is this is a must get dish!!! I also enjoyed an order of sweet potato fries done to perfection. I did not leave a crumb.... of anything!! This restaurant is employee owned. My experience with our server and watching and listening to the other servers, is they see the customer as family or potential family!!! Incredible tastes, fantastic service, atmosphere perfection, and a must experience restaurant on any journey.!!🦄🙏🌈🩵🩷

The worst dinner I have had in OC. We went for “happy hour “ but it wasn’t very happy for us. The drinks tasted like there wasn’t any alcohol in them and were small. We had ordered smash burgers (overcooked and tasted like they were not fresh), the meatball sub was tasteless, the eggplant tower was lukewarm. The shrimp scampi and garlic fries were good. They did take the burgers off the bill. We didn’t have the heart to complain about anything else but we won’t be back. It’s unfortunate because the location is fantastic, right on the water. The waitress and bartender were attentive. I used the restroom and overheard another patron talking to a waitress. They had mistakenly given her a regular pasta and not the gluten free version she had ordered. Apparently she has celiac. Yikes!! Not sure how much she ate of that but that was a bad mistake.

We had a fabulous dinner here. McKensie (spelling) was fantastic! I am celiac, and she was on it. If she didn't know she asked. I had the seafood imperial, with green beans and rice. The entire meal was amazing. Two people had the crab cakes, and are very picky about their crab cakes and they loved them as well. Also, someone at our table got the Salomon. He loved it as well. Two of us got the bread pudding as a finish, they thought it was amazing, but should add raisins hahaha Only down part was the music was way to loud and and the choice was not really dinner time friendly. Thank you for a lovely evening

I visited Fager's Island for the first time on April 5th and dined in the fine dining area. Prior to my visit, I received a call to confirm my reservation and seating preference. During this call, I found it a bit impolite when the person mentioned that entrees were $50 or more, as I would not have made the reservation if it were beyond my budget. Upon arriving, we were seated at our table. I ordered a lemon drop martini, a house salad, and the scallops risotto from the gluten-free menu. I found all of my dishes to be delicious. The view was also very nice, and I wish I had arrived earlier to better appreciate the sunset from the top. Overall, I would likely return to this restaurant.

As a local resident with celiac disease, my dining experiences are often challenging due to my need to meticulously avoid gluten. Micky Fins Bar & Grill, despite having a limited selection for those of us with this condition, stands out with its quality offerings. One of my favorite gluten-free dishes is the chicken nachos. The addition of corn to this menu item is not only unique but also a delightful and welcome surprise. The flavors are well-balanced, and the corn adds a satisfying crunch that elevates the dish. Another excellent choice for those seeking gluten-free options are the deviled eggs. They are prepared with care, and the flavors are rich and satisfying. While the current gluten-free options at Micky Fins are wonderful, I do hope that, as a local resident, the restaurant will consider expanding their gluten-free menu. With more choices, I and others with similar dietary needs would be able to enjoy Micky Fins on a more regular basis. Here's to hoping for an even more inclusive menu in the future!

We went for lunch to beat the heat & stumbled across a true gem. They seemed understaffed as the hostess sat us and tried to take our food orders. However when we asked for fresh orange juice in our crushes the bartender was confused. Luckily one of the managers - Emmy - saw our perplexed looks and got right on making us amazing orange crushes. She even made our son a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice to drink and helped us navigate the menu as our daughter is gluten free and a pescatarian. Our daughter got beet salad with a shrimp topper as emmy said her favorite snack from the restaurant was seasoned nuts from the beet salad! Husband and i got crabcake and burgers and made our own surf and turf burgers - emmy’s response when she saw us - hey, its your dining experience! She was attentive and helpful, you could see her helping her staff with issues they were having but she didn’t forget about us! Definitely have to go when Emmy is working at dinner service because she is amazing - so i can only imagine how well she trains her staff!
