Food and service were excellent. We initially had little intention to share our plates with each other but the dishes were so tasty and varied and either had too much food (so please take some) or were tiny but with mammoth flavor (you must try this). At the end everyone in our group of 5 had tried out all of the 8 dishes we ordered and loved them. The best part for me though was the mystery bar drinks where you give them a spirit and general guidelines and they kept coming back with amazing and creative cocktails. I loved and was surprised by the uniqueness and presentation of each drink. We had a fun night with family and friends and will be back.

Loved the shared plate style here! Everything tasted fabulous, and we had an awesome time trying a handful of the mystery drinks. Such a cool idea! The staff was very personable and helpful.

At all Rare Roots Hospitality restaurants, the food and service are always exceptional, and Fin and Fino was no exception. Enjoyed everything we ate, from the oysters to the whole fish finished in their wood burning over, and of course, we left room for dessert. In fact, I told two separate couples sitting next to us they had to have Mom's cheesecake. Both were very happy I made the suggestion and loved it. It was a wonderful night celebrating a special occasion.

The quality of the cuisine was satisfactory. While the salmon Poké bowl was enjoyable, the mushroom plate did not meet expectations. On occasion, I experienced prolonged waiting periods with an empty table, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. Regrettably, the server only attended to our table once. Given the pricing, I believe there is room for improvement in terms of overall value.

Just ok. Nothing to rave about but not bad. Tried to go to happy hour but missed by 2 mins had some oysters and they were good but besides that the Cajun cooked. Tasted like a Mexican soup. Mystery drink #7 was just whiskey not good. Could have been a lot better

The seafood salad is too salty. It's also spicy which is OK. But when you pile excessive sodium on top of spicy, the actual food in the dish is overwhelmed. Seafood pasta was a little bland.

We each ordered "The Treatment" which was spectacular and highly suggest. It's a tasting menu and crafted by the chef and waiter based on your likes and dislikes. What made the experience most amazing was the service, specifically our waitress Tonya. Hope to be back and will request her.

The service was chaotic, multiple servers checking on us , delivering food, drinks, etc. (part of their business model) but none of them could keep it straight and kept forgetting things...my next drink, my wife's second glass of wine, salt and pepper, etc. Poorly coordinated...and seems like our waiters was always being "called to the back' for some reason...I think he was just having a smoke

The salmon and tuna poke was not at all a true poke, but instead a salad with bits of salmon and tuna. The octopus didn't taste fresh and was hard and rubbery. The pasta dish and red snapper were good. The service was good. Not a lot of atmosphere.

Didn't honor the go play Charlotte coupon they have in the book . Instead decided to use what they wanted to discount. The manager also lied about it. After the waiter received the coupon she know longer asked if we needed anything else do to the fact that she knew what the manager had done. If you don't want coupons to be used. Don't put them in the book. Dishonest restaurant. I want be back

We ate outside on a balmy night. Great service. The food was delicious. We thought the dishes would be sized as small plates. The ones we ordered were medium sized. A size you would expect for a lunch offering. We finished everything and it was perfect after enjoying the jazz at the Bechtler museum.

Fun downtown ambience. The Treatment tasting menu is always an exciting option and choices selected by chef were varied - seafood, fish and beef. Not quite the “wow” factor as the last time we dined here though. Felt a little bit rushed - and the restaurant shut down the coffee machine around 8:45 pm which made no sense as there were several tables still occupied with diners - so there was no coffee available with dessert. Waiter was excellent - very attentive without being obtrusive. Seating at a small table in the back of the restaurant was uncomfortable.

Wonderful restaurant- food was delicious.. Service was outstanding. We did discover an error on our bill today.. An extra beer was added to the check.. However, if we had noticed last night.. it would have been removed. Also brought an extra drink to,the table when not asked to do,it. Excuse was- “..” ordered it for you. I didn’t order it for my guest. This is very petty compared to the wonderful food and service. Mistakes happen sometimes- we will be back…

Overall I was disappointed. Our waiter was not engaged. We had about 6 dishes. He dropped them off and left. The last item a different server presented it, with a full explanation. This is what we saw happening at other tables with different servers. Never asked if we wanted a second drink or dessert. While the food was fine. It was not special. And our table was too small for multiple small plates. Which we had to ask him to clear the dishes that were done.
