    We started off with cocktails, Dirty Martini and an old fashioned which were both great. We had a Caesar and wedge salad. Caesar didn’t have a ton of dressing, but I like it that way. The wedge salad was delicious. For our main course we had the bass, and filet medallions and shrimp skewer, oh my goodness….yummm! We each had a glass of Chardonnay with our dinner. Finished our meal with cheesecake and chocolate covered strawberries. The staff was amazing, and the location was perfect for some people watching. Highly recommend!

    Went here on Valentine’s Day at 2pm for lunch. Had a great experience, they had a special menu. Everything was delicious including the lemonade. Service was great from a young man working that day. Was super windy outside so luckily we sat inside and we were one of the only ones, definitely a great experience.

    Four of us had a wonderful dinner at Finch and Fork the other night. The corkage fee is a little outrageous but the food was delicious and the server was very knowledgeable and engaged. We started with a Kung Pao cauliflower which was truly outstanding! A couple people had the halibut special and they enjoyed that very much - no leftovers to take home. I had the short rib pappardelle which was very good.
