Fin & Fino

Perhaps our fault for this one. The menu did not line up with our tastes and preferences. We decided to eat here for proximity reasons. We prefer lots of grilled/blackened fish options + veggies, this is not their format. We chose to eat here, our bad. Had some poor execution by the bar . . . these things happen but was frustrating for us. Once again, busy night with ACC Championship in town.

Roll it all up, we probably won't be back but not an indictment on the restaurant as a whole. Simply will gravitate to other establishments where we have better luck with service and food options that we prefer.

amazing food!

Enjoyed a quiet lunch with a friend. Service was quick & good and the food was delicious. The $20 prix fix was just right with a cup of soup and half salad and a small main course.

Excellent service, food was quite good. Very cool vibe. A bit pricey for what you get. Overall, a great experience right before going to see a show across the street at the Knight theatre.

Poor service. We ordered the treatment and they didn’t explain anything. No explanation around what food came out or how the process worked. We only received 2 small plates and the steak because “the steak is a more expensive item.” We also bought a bottle of a recommended wine from our server. We told her we wanted a Red that wasn’t sweet and the wine she suggested was sweet. After spending $200 I expected more.

Excellent. Our server knew the menu and recommended the perfect dishes. We were going to a show after dinner. Our server timed everything perfectly.

Would go back in a heartbeat. Fantastic seafood joint. Get the poke!

Wonderful service, delicious food!

All fantastic . Fried Calamari, salad green and apple, poke bowl, BBQ corvina, faroe island salmon, sirloin .

Really enjoyed our experience last Friday. Ordered “The Treatment” and was not disappointed. It was a great way to try multiple things on the menu and perfect for a small group. Will definitely be back.

Everything was wonderful.

Good balance on food wine and service.

We had Chris who was amazing. The drinks were inventive and awesome as was the food. Had several small plates and am already wanting to comeback and have more of those roasted oysters!!!!

Absolutely fabulous dinner. It was the best salmon and OMG - those scallops! DELICIOUS!! Thank you!

Absolutely phenomenal. Everything was incredible even things you had before were done in a new way. Would recommend to anyone

Chris was our server, and as always, he was absolutely fantastic! Our food was delicious and my peers were impressed with the excellent service. Great job Fin & Fino!!

Thanks,
Natalie Mabe

Wonderful dinner and experience

Really nice ambience and cocktails. I wasn’t too impressed with the appetizers but the entrees and desserts were good.

We celebrated a Girls night out with an overnight at The Kimpton and then walked to Fin & Fino. From the moment we walked into the restaurant we knew we were in for an amazing dining experience. Blaze was our server and she was awesome… The food was over-the-top and great for sharing and the prices are quite reasonable. I highly recommend this place!

Delicious variety of well-prepared seafood. The chef is clearly passionate about this restaurant and has wonderful specials.

We sampled many dishes and enjoyed them all.

Great food and service

The atmosphere and food were excellent. We were early for our reservation so decided to sit at the bar first and just stayed to order dinner there. It was about 8:30 p.m. on a Friday night. It was busy but there were several open seats at the bar. The bartenders never asked if we wanted another drink until at least a 1/2 hour after our food came (and our drinks were very low). It was also hard to get their attention. I asked for bread when the meal came (which did not come with the meal) and I had finished eating and still no recognition that she never either put in the request for the bread or just plain forgot completely. I will come again because I loved the food and atmosphere but I will not sit at the bar. We will come and sit at the table with the reservation hoping service is better. I honestly never write reviews but felt this was necessary for a few reasons.

Great food. Great service

Four appetizers and salad were very fresh and prepared perfectly.

Had to wait over 30 minutes for a reservation that was booked far in advance. Restaurant brought complimentary charcuterie and dessert. It was appreciated.

I suggest choosing your own dishes rather than having the server pick the items for you. Overall great experience and the oysters were spectacular but don’t fall for the $60/pp trap of having them pick your dishes.

Great food and staff

Overall, it was a great experience. My only thought is that the drink prices are a little high ($15/mixed drink). But food was all excellent. Worth a visit.

Beautiful restaurant with great location across from museum district of Charlotte. The baked oysters, fries and lobster & truffles were delish.

Excellent Food & Service. Will definately go back!

The location is convenient for work meetings and the service is quick. The food is very good.

We let the waiter order everything for us. The food was fantastic.

We have had Chris as our server multiple times and he consistently provides excellent service. He has a very good knowledge of wine pairings with the food.I have always appreciated the variety of oysters you have but missed the dropper bottles of different condiments that previously came with it. The one negative was the octopus and sausage entree. The broth was excellent but the octopus was a little tough.Also portion size was disproportionate to cost. Overall an excellent experience as usual.

First off, I think the place made me sick, but there's no way to know for sure. Secondly, apart from my sister arranging a bottle of wine for us at arrival, the service was AWFUL. Hostess was very unwelcoming. We rarely saw our waitress and when we did it was brief and rushed. The whole restaurant seemed slammed and in the weeds. Raw oysters took like 20 minutes to come out.Food service veteran here and thank goodness I'm not in the industry anymore. I was really looking forward to this meal but left feeling like this is yet another trendy flash in the pan that'll just flicker out...

Lots of fun with excellent drinks

Fin and Fino is our absolute favorite place in Charlotte! We love getting treatment and trying things we never would have thought to try - I can not recommend this restaurant enough!

It’s the place to go when friends come to visit us in Charlotte.

I love this place and the vibe! Great food and I like the new menu items every few months!

Earl, Earl, Earl! You really made our night! We loved your sense of humor, your big smile, and your service was fantastic.

I thought it was kind of weird when we chose to do the Chef inspired dinner and you started asking us a lot of questions. We really could've been more pleased with the choices of food and wine pairing that you prepared for us. Your chefs were amazing!And your wine pairings matched our courses perfectly, I will have to rate this in one of my top 10 meals/experience.

Everything that you had the chefs prepared for us was incredible for the presentation and the taste.

Earl you made that Experience for us. We appreciate, good food, good vine, great service, and your personality matched as well.

I WOULD go back and do the chef inspired five course meal again and you my friend, Earl would be our choice to take care of us once again.
