This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. I was greeted with a warm smile and seated immediately. I requested a corner seat, and they accommodated my request perfectly. The atmosphere is romantic and cozy, with a lovely ambiance that makes you want to linger. The service was impeccable—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being intrusive. The food was absolutely excellent! The wine was delicious, and the cappuccino and cheesecake were the perfect way to end the meal. While it’s a bit on the pricey side, it was worth every penny for the quality and experience. I cannot wait to come back to this amazing spot on my next vacation. Highly recommend! Merci, Nicole 😁

Good evening , I know this review has been long waiting , so here it is . My husband decided to take us out on our monthly date night . We walked in and waited only a few min before being seated , the lady who sat us was very nice and pleasant. Our server was truly amazing we didn't get any apps even tho they where amazing , the pricing for the 5 Course and 8 Course was understandable . Very nice ,quiet & clean 10/10 definitely can't wait to go back I loved talked about it for another week . Keep up the hard work y'all are well worth the price . Seafood pasta is so out this world olive garden will have to beg to get my money ..

Ok folks I am no expert on food or any restaurant, but this was 100%+ worth the visit! I will warn you, yes it’s very pricey for us blue collars and gratuity is added to your bill automatically, but was so worth it!! Came to celebrate my wife’s birthday and was seated immediately for a party of 6. Katherine, our server, instantly made us feel welcomed. She was attentive, friendly, genuine, and catered to my loud granddaughter (sorry to the other patrons, she’s cute but likes to jabber when she’s happy). Katherine please start a class to teach other wait staff on what a professional looks & acts like! On to the food..we ordered: the “Grilled Octopus” and “Smoked Salmon & Caviar” as appetizers. The “What’s up Doc” and the “Pear Cranberry Margarita” for the libations. The main entrees were the fish of the day (Rock fish) with crab meat, the “Short Rib and Crab Meat” with added Scallops, Seafood Pasta, and the “Wagyu Beef 8oz Bistro Steak” People!!! Everything was absolutely outstanding!!! On a side note, I never asked for anything for my wife’s birthday, but Katherine still made it special for her! This restaurant is off the beaten path, but so worth the trip there! Fin! We will be back!

We had a Galentines Dinner last night and there wasn’t a single complaint from 11 women. The food was delicious, the service was amazing and everyone was so kind and accommodating. Katie was our server and she was knowledgeable and also knew which gluten free options were the best. Thank you for hosting our little event. Can’t wait to come back!

We were way too over dressed for this place. Fine Dining it is not. It looks like a small mom and pops, where the host is a not friendly, unaccommodating negative representation of the spot. The server had an attitude and where they wanted to seat us was in the walkway of the kitchen, after we had reservations for over three weeks. We expected a booth, dim lighting, well dressed patrons, except Everyone in there looked like they were just going to a local Bar Louis. We left after feeling like cattle and we went to SATE An American Experience of Real Fine Dinning. I do not recommend FIN if you want Fine Dining with community and ambience. Trust me. If you go, where jeans, no one will care.

“ FIN is sure to surpass your highest expectations. “ 🤔🤔🤔 Unfortunately Fin Seafood was specious and didn’t surpass my expectations or my sisters. I had my birthday dinner last night here and was kind of disappointed that they didn’t make any effort to do any nice gesture for my birthday celebration. Like a small candle or you know happy birthday written in chocolate around the dessert that I got. Maybe some confetti decorated on the table. I remember the hostess was extremely unwelcoming when I arrived. Also the older woman at the host stand as I left for dinner last night didn’t even attempt to make any gesture in my direction no smile no good night- nothing- so me being me I said THANK YOU, have a good night. But that’s the hostess in me. i’ve been a hostess for over 15 years and warm welcomes and goodbyes and a SMILE SHOULD BE MANDATORY. Even when I asked the other server woman outside for some bread she seemed annoyed that I wasn’t asking my server Karen. I thought restaurant business was a team effort. staff could really use Karen to help lead their hospitality team and give pointers. She was kind, patient, wished me a happy birthday, gave great recommendations for food and was happy to explain everything without making me feel like I was a bother. SHOUT OUT TO KAREN & the Wagyu & Risotto . ***seafood pasta tasted delicious but seafood was a bit uncooked in my opinion. Scallops and shrimp were mushy. & plz plz plz get Remoulade sauce for your Crab cakes.

The wife and i went here for a mini date to take advantage of their happy hour specials. We really enjoyed the food. We went around 4pm on a Friday and almost had the place to ourselves. I definitely recommend trying this place out

3.9⭐️ My husband wined and dined me! We decided on fin last minute, and when we got there we also decided on the 7 course tasting menu last minute. I am not a fancy person at all, but this was nice! One thing I’m not used to, the waiter giving new utensils for every plate! I was like “oooo this is fancy! The service was awesome! I cannot say anything bad about the service. The food… was either hit or miss, let me explain. Course 1- Tuna Tartare, it was so good! The sriracha ice cream was great with it. Course 2- Shrimp and grits, it’s was … pretty sweet. I didn’t think it was bad, I enjoyed it. My husband said it tasted like pancake syrup 🤣 so he wasn’t a big fan. Course 3- Crab cake, damn was this good! If I was to go back, I would order the crab cakes. Course 4- Grilled Octopus, no 🙅🏾‍♀️ not a fan. It was pretty chewy, and the black beans it came with were so hard, we were confused on if they cooked the beans or not. I just moved them to the side and didn’t eat them. Course 5- Scallops, not bad. I’m not a big fan of scallops, but both tasting menus had them so I couldn’t avoid them. Course 6- Australian Wagyu Ribeye Cap, this was very good! The steaks was cooked perfectly, just yes. Course 7- Chocolate cake with cherry ice cream, SUCH A GOOD ENDING! I’ve never had cherry ice cream but I loved it! Overall I’m glad we got the 7 course, and not the 5. The food wasn’t bad, but I now I feel like I’ve tried everything I want to try from here, and it’s a more expensive meal. So did I enjoy my meal? Yes, me and my husband had a great date night. We didn’t enjoy each course, but the experience was a good one. Would we go back? Probably not. But I would recommend the restaurant if you’re in the area.
