    This is a must try! Don’t walk run! They are truly showing you how to create an elevated affordable experience with a very kind staff who makes you feel like a regular the moment you walk in the door. Can’t wait to come back, wonder what the menu will be!

    Hands down the best lunch I have ever had. Sorry to say that here because I expect this place will become a hard to get reservation!

    Enjoy your meal at Finnbar! Ambiance, service, and food were all very good. It felt like going for a good meal in Northern Caliifornia. Our only complaint was the menu was not available online. And with a very limited menu, people with food allergies and sensitivities may be out of luck when they get there. Our party got lucky in that one item on the menu was ok for her to eat because she can pick out the items that she couldn't eat. But had we shown up a few days earlier, there was nothing on the menu that she could eat.
