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.

Thank you Ally for a great visit. Thank you kitchen staff for preparing delicious food, as always. Many thanks to all the servers for their service - fantastic job. We love coming to Fin & Fino. The small plate size gives an opportunity to have a little bit of everything. See you soon!

The wait staff is excellent, great place for small plates. Exciting and well-made bar drinks. All in all, go. This is my 5th time there, and I will be back many times. They also have Valet parking.

Drinks are fun, but pricey. Food - good Service - good Decor - light and beachy with a water feature separating the bar and the dining area, and a large mosaic art piece on the back wall. Ambiance - here’s where the wheels fall off. I feel like I am eating in a cafeteria. I can partially see the kitchen, but none of the cooking, just the order assembly so this is not attractive or interesting yet it’s prominently placed. The seating is all out in the open, no booths (except a half booth along one wall) so there is zero intimate dining experience or conversation privacy. Cafeteria quality table and metal chairs, (no tablecloths) make the ambiance very casual and at odds with the price. If I am on a date night with my husband and paying $150 and up for dinner and drinks for 2, I want it to feel like a dinner place. This feels like a lunch place (but it’s not open for lunch). We tried it twice and I had a strong sense of cafeteria dining both times. I rate restaurants on food, service and ambiance. In this case, the ambiance score is so low, we will not be back.
