Finley's in Lulworth Cove offers a mix of opinions, but recent experiences lean towards the negative. Some guests have found the food to be mediocre, the service slow, and the overall experience lacking. However, others have enjoyed the friendly service, tasty food, and pleasant atmosphere. While some have had disappointing encounters, others have left satisfied. It seems like a hit-or-miss with this restaurant, so potential visitors should keep this in mind. The owner may want to address the issues with consistency and service to enhance the overall dining experience for all customers.
