    Everything was wonderful, but the fondue cheese could have been made a little thinner. Was rather clumpy

    I love this place. I’ve been here over the years (like decades ago), but have rediscovered it in the past couple of months. It’s now my go-to spot. The half portion entree makes it possible to try an appy (beet salad, cortini) and dessert (crème brûlée, sticky toffee pudding -yum!). The service is great. Jason was patient as we tried to find the right wine to order. All staff are friendly and attentive. It’s all good. Just go and see for yourself.

    Hubby and I wanted oysters so we opted for Finn’s since it was walkable distance from our hotel. We ordered a dozen oysters (Fanny Bay & Kusshis), NY steak, sablefish, and the chowder. Would recommend all except the chowder which was only okay. NY steak for the husband was cooked to perfection and the skin on my sablefish was chef’s kiss! Our server was also the sweetest!

    Wonderful space and atmosphere. Excellent food and service. We chose the sliced tuna sashimi style and grilled scallops, and a few fresh raw oysters as an appetizer. Oysters were so fresh and wonderful and scallops superb. The tuna was presented differently than I have had before, which was delicious and so fresh. For our main dishes, the black cod and bouillabaisse were the choices made. Both were amazing. We plan to return.
