What a disappointment!! We had guests in town and dined at Fin & Fino on Wednesday 11/27/24. Much to our surprise and disappointment, it was one of the worst value dining experiences we’ve encountered in quite some time. We have previously dined at Fin & Fino- Birkdale and left feeling that this was our go to restaurant in the Lake Norman area. On this occasion, we chose the “Treatment” for the table, which we would not recommend to anyone; Unless you are happy overpaying for your meal. Once arriving home, we added up the total of the dishes that we were initially served and we would have overplayed by almost $200 for 6 guests, had we not complained and requested additional dishes. Although we were served additional dishes to “try to make it right,” unfortunately it was too little too late for our evening. The dishes we were served were fair, at best. The Lobster Mac’n Cheese, Mushroom Toast and Little Gem salad (each of which we provided two of for the table) are dishes we recommend avoiding. Lettuce in Little Gem Salad was brown and wilted ; Our guests described both the Mushroom Toast and Lobster Mac’n Cheese as dishes that they would serve if trying to convince someone to hate mushrooms or Mac’n cheese. Remainder of dishes were not stellar either, but these were the most egregious offenses to the palate. (Halibut was overcooked, “Cajun” oysters were smothered in what tasted like Barbecue sauce, but were edible). We hope that this was just an off night prior to a holiday, that we assume was staffed primarily by the B-Team, but will be leery to return, especially given the price tag of dining here. AnnaLisa, the manager on duty, was unhelpful, dismissive of our concerns, and argumentative when confronted. We will definitely think twice before dining here again. Advice to future diners wishing to avoid getting ripped off: Avoid this restaurant, but if you choose to give them a chance, avoid the “Treatment” at all costs.

We ordered "The Treatment," their version of a tasting menu. The first few dishes started off strong with delicious oysters, tuna, and arancini, but went downhill after the opening courses. For a tasting menu of $70 per person, we were surprised to receive mediocre fries and caesar salad, neither of which were particularly memorable. While it tasted okay, the crab cake was ridiculously small to split, and the seared halibut had a lovely sear but wasn't particularly flavorful. We expected far more from such a hyped restaurant. The servers were nice but seemed nervous and had difficulty recalling dish descriptions and answering questions. However, the decor was nice and the bathrooms were immaculate. Stick with the raw bar and drink menu if you visit!

It was not a very good experience. We hardly saw our waitress and waited quite a long time just for drink refills.We ordered dessert and it took way too long, so we finally canceled our dessert order and left.The manager did apologize in.Compensate us for some of our cost.

We had a reservation and we were seated quickly. Our server came over and filled our water glasses, never even greeted us or told us that she was our server. We were completely ignored for a good 10 minutes t and had to track down the hostess to ask for our server to take our order. She appeared again, no apology, no niceties. We did get our drinks and salads in a timely manner. Our entrees arrived and I thought they had brought out the wrong dishes as they looked like appetizer portions! They were a little more than an appetizer size! I didn't read anywhere on the menu that this was a tapas style restaurant. We were shocked and completely underwhelmed by the entrees in front of us. We each had a pasta dish, I had the house pasta and my husband had the lamb pasta. Our bill came to $94 for an unacceptable amount of food. We have never left a restaurant feeling so bewildered and disappointed. The food was good, there just wasn't enough of it! We will not be returning nor recommending this place.

We had a great experience and the food was really good! We had oysters from the raw bar, halibut and trout. All was really good. Gill, our server, was very patient, informative, and very helpful to direct us to options that would be good for us.
