Surrounded by windows overlooking the Salem Harbor, Finz offers guests lively waterfront scenery in a comfortable open concept interior. Of particular note is the 40 seat bar which flows from dining room to lounge, floor to ceiling nautical wall, hand painted lobster octopus mural, open style kitchen and built-in raw and sushi bars. In warmer months, the outdoor patio dining along the water is superb, with spots in the shade or the sun to enjoy a libation or light bites. With events centered around local arts, Finz is the place to experience Salem.

    Apps and drinks were terrific, including the witch maki roll, Toro tuna Nigeria special and fried oysters. My main, fish of day Scallops, was both charred/burnt partially and served lukewarm. My wife's fish and chips was a very thin piece that tasted too much like batter. Server never checked in on us, otherwise we would have said something. In fairness, he was training someone so may have been caught up in that.

    The server was quite pleasant, however the service, attentiveness, and responsiveness was mediocre at best. The food was ok - lovely piece of halibut, but overcooked.

    We definitely enjoyed our dinning experience at Finz. Great food, well made cocktails and courteous service. They followed my instructions with the introductory drinks for my anniversary celebration. All the starters and courses were delicious and arrived pretty promptous. Certainly, we will return to experience the outdoor patio and scenic view once the weather gets warmer.

    Seafood was great and I know this is a seafood restaurant, but we had a vegetarian with us and she had very few options. We’ve been many times before and there were more options in the past. Hopefully some more options are added next time you change the menu!

    I haven't been to Finz since they moved to their new location very close to the old one. The food is as delicious as ever and the new layout works nicely. The view of the harbor is charming. Service was excellent. Crab cakes, coconut margarita and scallops / risotto - can't go wrong!

    Food was delicious. Server was attentive. My husband who usually doesn't like restaurant food asked for a spoon so he could scoop out the last bits of his order. It was a rainy night and quite chilly inside until they finally turned the heat on when we were almost done.

    The food was just ok. My paella seafood was good but the rice was way undercooked and the sauce was not good. Not a traditional paella. We had the shrimp street corn, hardly any corn and way too much sauce. My husband had stuffed haddock it was just ok. The service was outstanding our waitress was excellent.

    The much touted chowder was bland with few clams. The fish and chips sandwich was crispy and tasty as was the clam strip plate special. Service was marginal as we had to wait for tartar sauce while the clam strips cooled off. Also the server had ant least three opportunities to clear away finished dinnerware but failed to do so.

    Great location with a view of the Salem Harbor and The Friendship. Friendly staff members and good food. Highly recommend the scallop dinner. Good variety of sushi rolls, just wish that there was more of a variety with actual tuna, not just spicy tuna. Fun atmosphere good for both casual and elegant dining experience.
