About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Great for outdoor dining
Good for special occasions

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.

We started off with getting the crab cafe appetizer and some clam chowder. I think both starters were excellent! I had the Baja fish tacos were excellent and my boyfriend had the crab stuffed haddock and it look amazing! Would definitely recommend!!

Energetic is putting it mildly regarding noise. It was deafening. The food was only average. The waitress never came by to ask us how everything was. I also thought it was a little bit pricey but not outrageous. We used to love this place, but in no hurry to go back, unfortunately

We hold ourselves to very high service and culinary standards and truly hope that all of our guests enjoy themselves while they dine with us. It would be my pleasure to offer you a courtesy gift card as an apology and to welcome you back to show you the experience you have become rightfully accustomed to. Please let me know if you are interested and I can put that together for you. You can respond to me here or reach me at the restaurant. Thank you in advance for your response

I haven’t been to Finz in a while but it was just as good as I remembered. Our server was very nice but it was loud in there. The outside area wasn’t open as it was rainy and windy which would have been less noisy. I had a Caesar salad to start which was very good but half way thru it they brought the meals. The timing was way too fast. Our server apologized but we felt rushed. I had the tuna for my entree. It was very good and the tuna was seared and seasoned perfectly. Everyone liked their dishes as well. We will be back especially when we can sit outside. Next time I will order an appetizer and wait to order my entree. I would highly recommend Finz if you want good seafood!

Service was very slow, and items ordered like rolls and salad came with the meal when we asked that they come first. Fish was pretty good but skimpy. Veg was poor. View was nice.
