Made a reservation for Saturday evening at 6:30 pm. We thought it was necessary, based on the many great reviews!When we got there on time, the restaurant was EMPTY! Restaurants across the street were packed!The atmsphere was uninviting, very dark with dark furniture. We decided to stay and enjoy the 'fabulous' food ppl were raving about.We shared a beet salad with mandarines. It was ok, nothing special with lots of greens added. Then we shared a paella. It was OLD and reheated. The whole entire meal was old and especially the muscles. I was afraid to even eat them, not wanting to get sick!We would never set foot in this restaurant again. I cannot imagine how they got great reviews. A huge disappoitment!

Short pours on the cocktails does not help the otherwise average fare. The pistachio crusted salmon was above average but the seared scallops were not seared: they were mushy and stew-like. Also, we were lucky to catch that a 20% gratuity was added to the bill because we were a party of 6.
Amazing food, kudos to chefGreat staff.If your going to have an event make sure to book with the owner of the restaurant Kim, she’s awesome as well!Definitely will be back!
Art.Each plate with a unique meticulousness.Every bite well thought out, cleaned my plates with bread, enjoyed it much.You get what you pay for coming here, worth it.The knowledge put on the table will satisfy at the least, watching my wife dump a side of hot sauce all over her plate worth a mention, maybe next time we'll request her choice to be extra spicy ?So far the best in the area for my taste, though I didn't like seeing the use of pork products, which some religions could be turned off / sensitive.The quality reminded me of one of my favorite restaurants "gatsby's landing".Fino is one of my favorite restaurants, love what's happening here.
Glad I tried this place. Friendly service, great brunch menu, delicious food. Excellent selection of wines by the glass and even the bottle choices are reasonably priced. Can’t wait to try it for dinner.
Very classy decor the drinks were out of this world the bartender was amazing he knew what he was doing. The food was delicious I ordered seabass it was very fresh and was prepared to perfection I really enjoyed my meal I would definitely go back to the restaurant.
There's nothing French about this place. It was serving tapas before the rebranding. We had lump crab cake (The Bourbon Street has better & bigger portion), truffle pappardelle (this tastes the best), pistachio encrusted salmon (the salmon is ok, they should have left the inside slightly pinkish, there's nothing else on the plate except some morsel of mushrooms & bits of vegetation), organic grilled chicken with lentils (this is probably the 2nd best). They should have used thyme or herb of Provence instead. We also had coconut martini. It tasted like pina colada a bit.
I was here for a private event but I have to say, the service was excellent and the staff was very accommodating to special requests. We had two people with allergies and one that didn't eat beef but they provided a fair substitution for the ingredients we couldn't have. The happy hour menu is small but a good tasting option if you're a drinker and not an eater. Prices were very reasonable too on that menu. The bartender makes great drinks, check out the photo of him serving. Will return for a real meal next time.
I didn't go to Fino for a while, then I showed up for dinner and there's a new group of staff and a modified menu. But nothing stays constant during a pandemic and the fact that they are opened and in business is a blessing in itself.About Dinner:Lamb chops were extremely delicious and well presented. The chops were cooked at the perfect temperature. Downside to this dish - only 3 chops, served with NO sides, just garnish. Although it's an excellent entrée, I won't recommend it for anyone who is really hungry. The cod was my favorite entrée; I've ordered it on repeat. It's flavorful and melts in your mouth.Overall:Ambiance (on a Thursday) - 3 StarsService - 4 StarsFood - 4 StarsPresentation - 4 Stars
