    I don’t remember our servers name but she was awesome. Very helpful. And very patient since we were waiting for a couple of other people to come. Super nice young lady. The food was absolutely delicious! I will and already have recommended The Goldfinch to my daughter and told her we need to go and have lunch! And also told my boss about you and I will let others know also. Can’t wait to go back.

    The seabas dish that I ordered was deliciously good , but it could have been great if the sauce was not too spicy . On my moms halibut dish, her complain was it’s dry and the veggies were on the hard side to bite . The prime ribs that my BF ordered was a 5 star dish except for the horseradish sauce. so we asked our server if there’s any other options which he gracefully suggested 2 items. Overall, it was a nice place to have dinner with friends and family and I will surely go back and get the prime ribs this time.

    This was a great dining experience, hot and tasty dishes and excellent service from Alex! Ask for Shane to ensure you’re taken care of.

    Hard to find, have to go inside a parking garage, in order to walk into the restaurant. Both Google and Apple maps send you to the outside of the restaurant, but there is no place to park there. The food was very good and creative, our server was very attentive and pleasant. unfortunately, there was a fair amount of street traffic and noise, a fire station is very close by and there were three or four calls during the 2 1/2 hours we were there. Also, there were quite a few incidents of street racing or noisy drag cars going up and down Main Street. This was early afternoon on a Saturday.

    The eggs benedict, The short stack of pancakes, and the flat iron steak was amazing. My boyfriend and I had an amazing time and highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal and service. Celebrated our 2 year anniversary here and definitely want to come back.
