We visited on 29 Sep 2024, booked for 6.45pm. Lovely looking restaurant, and staff were great. Food was disappointing for the price unfortunately. The wife had the mozzarella and roasted peach salad starter. My wife enjoyed this, I thought it was ok but the mozzarella balls could've been fresher. I had the calamari. It looked lovely, but tasted only okay as the squid also could've been fresher. The wife had the bang bag cauliflower mains. The sauce was nice but rice was a little too hard, The cauliflower was done in a crumbly batter, which would've been nice if crunchier. The problem probably was that the cauliflower was very soft, and it was mixed through the sauce, therefore softening the batter. I just had fish and chips as I already had the other 2 options recently elsewhere; Sunday roast and lamb with mint. The fish was cooked nicely and not overcooked. However, it would taste better if salted or seasoned before battering and frying. It was incredibly oily too. The mushy peas wasn't anything special at all, nor the tartar sauce. We shared a mango Panna cotta. I prefer Panna cotta to be lighter weight but it was still okay. The short breads with them seemed a bit random to me, really didn't compliment the dish plus were very mediocre. The 2 course was £25. The 3 course was £30. I just felt it wasn't worth the price. We chose this restaurant as it has really good reviews, and was near the motorway at the right time as we were driving up from Liverpool back to Glasgow. I'm not sure if Fini's is a restaurant that runs there all week long or just part of the time. If only part of the time, it is not clear. If it is all week, I'm very disappointed with the food. Plus, why was a Sunday lunch menu available only for 6.45pm? Thankfully the staff were nice and it was a lovely clean venue.

We really enjoyed our food for the most part. However one of our party's main course was cold. It is nice, but it has lost a star as I would expect everything to be perfect with the meal averaging out at £50 per person for a 2 course meal. The parking is very limited, so we had to park on a unlit street with an uneven footpath. I would definitely recommend having a touch with you. Would not be ideal for anyone taking elderly guests on an evening.

The restaurant is attached to Willowbeck Lodge which is an excellent place to visit. However I cannot say the same about the restaurant. The prawns were large but not so tasty. The burger meat was dry and tough and the bun flaccid. The cheese plate was seemed to have been pulled straight from the fridge, served with Jacob's Crackers, a Ritz biscuit or two and others. The breakfast, from the same restaurant, was much better, so not sure what was going on with the dinner. Crab was nice, though

Really fine dining. Never knew a place like this existed a walking distance from my house. Thanks to Google explore for showing us this place. A bit expensive for a Mother's Day dinner, but very fine regardless.

What a superb dinner. Lots of fresh ingredients. My partner’s soup was the best we ever tried. I had fantastic dressed crab and then we both had fresh and delicious fish dishes for mains. And we couldn’t resist a pudding either - lemon posset and sticky toffee pudding both fantastic. Would absolutely recommend and will be returning!

Very kind excellent people. Service excellent. Venue and location excellent. Food disappointed on this occasion, although my son and daughter thoroughly enjoyed their vegetarian dish. The hake was a little mushy and the skin needed crisping. The sauce didn't suit a fish dish in my opinion and was over salted. The most disappointing was my wife's commercial grade (possibly frozen) burger which was tasteless and certainly not minced steak!

Great place. An absolute Gem in Carlisle. Been here twice, ordered different food, both times been amazing. Very calm and peaceful environment esp if you get tables overlooking the pond infront. Doesnt feel like youre in Carlisle. Fresh seafood and good selection of drinks. Staffs are very friendly and service is good. Can be very busy, so make sure you reserve a table if you are planning to dine in.

Came upon this great cafe while on a day trip to Carlisle, from our weeks holiday in Keswick. Food was excellent - we had ham hero sandwich, bbq panini, bacon Brie panini and gorgeous homemade soup. All tasty- the side salad with the sarny was best side salad I’ve had after a week of cafes lunches in lakes. Nice friendly service🙂
