“ I came here with a big group of friends to celebrate a birthday. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had an indoor and outdoor area as the night we went It was a bit chilly. It was nice to have the option to sit inside. They also had live music, which was a nice touch. I really love the beachy vibe. This restaurant is right on the water with that said definitely recommend coming to see the sunset. The food is very good and the portions are large. I recommend the lobster mac & cheese. This is not your normal lobster mac & cheese as they give you a whole lobster tail. I was definitely impressed with that. They have a full bar with an array of drinks. I recommend getting the fins strawberry margarita it was delicious. This is a great place to come to whether it's for a family event, first date, or just wanna hang with friends. I definitely will be coming back. ”
“ Decided to visit this spot as we hadn't been before and it didn't disappoint. There was no a long wait at all for a Saturday evening and the view was amazing. The server was helpful and the food came out quick! Drinks were pretty good as well. This will certainly be a spot we visit often. ”
“ Stopped in on Thursday night around 630pm. Wasn't too busy was seated right away. We ordered margaritas to start they were in a small cup for the $12+ price which seems a little high but my friend said it's the norm in the area. Buffalo Chicken Wrap was good the chicken was fried with a seasoning on it that was nice and different. My friend got two sides the herb roasted potatoes were just okay and the Brussel Sprouts were good but she said different. Nice Ambiance on the water. ”
“ Great atmosphere with excellent service. Fantastic food and great drinks. Can't say enough about this place. If you're in the area, this is a must! Love the service, the food, and the drink specials. The view of the bay only adds to the experience! ”
“ We really enjoy the atmosphere at Finn's. We don't have to wait very long if at all, and there are really no bad views/seats. A few things that have been a bit strange over our visits are 1. I drink unsweet tea. I was told there was no sugar substitute because sugar substitute gets hard and clumpy at waterfront restaurants. This is the only waterfront restaurant where I have ever encountered this. 2. I ordered the drunken shrimp appetizer as my meal. It comes with what is supposed to be like little mini Texas toasts for dipping. Last night, the bread was soft, but cold and not toasted. It wasn't enough to "never return", but some things we noticed that were just a little off. Our service was good. Although the place was steady, our server was attentive and friendly. ”
