I had to go to the bar to order food and drinks. Well ... I made the mistake of waiting a half hour before going to the bar and instead of being completely dead with no wait the kitchen was slammed by the time they got my order. I didn't get my food until I complained to the manager 2 hours later and the burger was a hockey puck because it had been sitting under the heat lamp for WAY too long plus it had more salt than ketchup on it. The manager tried making excuses until I told him, "If your waitresses would gave done their jobs two hours ago we wouldn't be having this conversation." I have gone back since then, but I stopped buying the VIP tickets and I stopped eating food there. I just enjoy the music and buy a drink or two. They've easily lost $500 from me because the manager didn't say, "I'm sorry" and make sure that I got a hot, fresh meal that was cooked correctly that night. The location is beautiful. The management is second rate at best.

Walking in was a fun surprise, it was the best Irish Pub experience! Lots of wood all around, the tables, the bar, the walls, dim but cozy lighting, tables and chairs everywhere. It was very inviting! You order at the bar, which is think is a traditional Irish Pub way, our bartender was great and made some awesome drinks that absolutely made up for our day! We had two of the featured drinks, one was a watermelon tonic and the other was an old fashioned and they were made perfectly!

Not enough to complain to anyone working there. But certainly would not recommend the place for the food. Plenty of places to drink and root for your team, has options for inside and out.

I parked and waited at the bar to be helped. My food was ready! I paid and left. Grateful they gave me silverware. Items were packed carefully. The meatballs were fantastic. I love ricotta on top. The pasta dish was ok. The cheese was so congealed it was like an omelette. I could lift it out of the dish. I'm sure it's better hot and fresh but I don't recommend it as a to go item. I ate some bit saved the rest. The next time I ate it, I reheated it and added more chicken :) It's pretty basic. No complimentary bread. No included salads.

The bartenders can typically make what you want even if it's fancy. Plenty of seats at the bar, in the bar area, or in their dart hall. They have dart leagues throughout the week. Lately they started this new trivia thing, which is fun. Service is good. Drinks are great. Check it out if you're in the area. Nice people. Always good conversation.

They run around and do a good job. I chose Sauvignon blanc and enjoyed. I was torn about what to eat. One of the servers, Jason, recommended the octopus and the meatballs- so I said ok! The meatballs came out first. They were tender and had a nice lamb flavor. I liked the hummus a lot. The pita was cold and stiff, but I ate it. The octopus came out hot. It had a nice citrusy sauce. It was cooked perfectly. Apparently they poach it, I asked. I always want to make something like this but I have yet to actually do it. Jason did bring a basket of crusty bread for the sauce on the octptus but I ate a few pita triangles so I skipped the bread. After my wine and tapas, I closed my tab. I easily found the restroom near the stage. I had walked over, but they do have a small parking lot of front and there's another one across the street. They have an event on the last Tuesday of each month. They close the store for it. Call ahead to make a reservation. I just missed the Wagyu wine pairing this week. Oops. They have music most nights. You can check their website for the event calendar.

Many restaurants in this area open from 4 PM to 9 PM. F M Don's is one of the exceptions. Four of us stopped by to have lunch. There are many outside surrounding this corner location, but we opted to have the inside tables to avoid the Floridian Sun! This is a weekday and off season; the place is not full! The staff is super friendly, and ambiance is clean and pleasant. There are pictures on wall displaying the old Punta Gorda buildings, and harbor. They have a good selection of wine available. We ordered a Cuban sandwich, Crunchy Cod Po Boy, Roast Beef Hoagie with cheese and a PEI Mussels Provencal. The Cuban sandwich, Cod Po Boy and Roast Beef Hoagie were fine. The side order of potato salad has a little too much vinegar. The star today is the PEI mussels Provencal. The PEI mussels are not huge, but they were well prepared with garlic, capers, herbs and white wine. My other favorite lunch dish is their Fisherman's Chowder. We finished our meal with Peanut Butter cheese cake and a key lime pie. They were delicious! Another fine meal at F M Don's!
