    If you want upscale dinning then you must visit this restaurant. It was the ambiance for me! Brian was exquisite when it came to serving me and my family especially my brother for his birthday. Big shout out to the chef for the remarkable presentation for each dish. Everything was delicious!! Looking forward to coming back some of my friends.

    Beautiful restaurant. Service received from Cynthia was outstanding. ALL of the food was delicious. The mussels were out of this world, and even something as seemingly simple as potato salad was delicious. We sucked down the oysters too quickly to take photos of them; the Canadian oysters were our favorite. The passport concept is brilliant, and my wife's custom-made drink was definitely a highlight of our visit. She provided her preferred base and attributes (including sweet & smokey), and the bartender made her a drink to her specifications (make sure to review the description in the photo of the drink)! It was a wonderful experience and we'll be back!

    Went as a group of 6 to dinner at Fin & Fino and we all ordered the Treatment. The more people order it the more dishes you’re able to taste. They ask if you have any allergies and any special requests and then the magic will begin. Plate after plate of delicious food are brought to the table, all a surprise and as tasty if not more than the last. $5 of the charge goes to a charity as well! It is a bit pricey but with a decent sized group I feel like we were able to try almost everything on the menu and it did not disappoint in any way. I missed pictures of a couple plates as they disappeared too quickly! In the same vein, they also offer “Call of the Clam” where you say what spirit you like (or don’t) and if you like fruity, sweet, spirit forward, whatever your cocktail preference, and the expert bartenders will make some of the most unique and best drinks you’ve likely ever tried. They’ll attach a little note with what was in the drink which helps if you ever want to try to replicate. I’ve considered traveling back to Charlotte just to bring friends and family here. A must try!

    A perfect spot for dinner before a show or after work in Uptown. While the menu was introduced as “small plate/tapas” I’d beg to differ. This was affordable fine dining. The staff was incredibly friendly, recommending amazing options. The oysters were so good we ordered another round. The mussels were the perfect blend of spice and flavor. The fish was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The lobster roll unique and just what we wanted. The Dressler family carrot cake was worth the hype and a perfect end to an amazing meal. Can’t wait to get back here!

    We had an amazing experience celebrating a special occasion. Our server made our visit personal and memorable. The food was exquisite and we had almost no wait. The trout was perfect temperature and texture, and the Fries were amazing with the special Mayo and seasoning.

    Wonderful service both at the bar and for dinner. Welcoming and homey atmosphere. Delicious cocktails! The seafood tower was 100% worth every bite, generous with sauces! Small plates were phenomenal, 2 small plates per person left us full and content, our server Don was great with recommendations and very attentive throught the meal! I'm telling all my friends their next date night needs to be here, we will definitely be back!

    Absolutely delicious! Everything was high quality and delectable. Oysters were creamy and came with not only the usual accoutrements, but a homemade hot sauce that was perfect accompaniment. Seafood salad a lovely medley and furikake fries a wonderful indulgence. I'm sure other items of equally high quality.

    This was our second time here and we can say, easily some of the best plates we have ever had. We did The Treatment and it was amazing! Our favorite dish was the brown butter shrimp and the scallop risotto. Many dishes have flavor combinations that you may not think pair well, but it works! The wagyu beef with sweet potato and currant was delicious, the fries are some of the best I’ve ever had, and the drinks are great as well. Perfect place for a date night, night out with friends, or happy hour with coworkers. 10/10

    Wonderful service and food! This is our first time trying this restaurant and we all enjoyed our dinner. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The food is on the smaller side but good for sharing. Cocktails were good too! Highly recommend!

    Took a member of my team to Fin &Fino for dinner. First of all, it is a great, cosy place with an amazing atmosphere. The servers wear funny shirts and are beyond personable. We had a great time. I would highly recommend the experience - the server brings you different tastings from the menu for a flat price. It is very filling and you get to try the staples (which is mostly everything we had actually planned to order). A minor incident we had at the table was swiftly addressed and rectified and we were beyond happy how it was handled. Do I have a favorite item on the menu? No. Everything is super good, tasty, yummy, delicious... We cleared every plate we got. Go wild - you won't regret it. This place is the bomb!

    Had a fantastic meal last week for 10 and chose the “treatment” which was perfect. Plenty of delicious dishes, and no one left hungry. Best part was not having to make any decisions of what to order. Will definitely be back.

    This is my second time dining at Fin & Fino. First time was some years back and again recently this year . The decor here can be described as Modern meets glam, & the service level far exceeds my expectation each time . It’s like a given that each time you dine here to order what they call The Experience where your server & chef take you on a tour of the menu , Best $59 you could ever spend and it’s more cost efficient in my opinion as well. The anticipation of not knowing what your dishes are until the chef brings them out excites me . None the less I dont come here enough as much as I love it here.

    Wait staff was extremely kind and professional. I had the hibiscus cocktail and it was the perfect amount of alcohol and decor! Low lighting set the tone for a romantic dinner(if you can’t see well use your phone light lol). Ordered the Lamb Rigatoni(it’s lamb neck by the way) and it was delicious. I got the shrimp and we had cheesecake. Best darn CHEESECAKE!!! Highly recommend for a date night.

    After seeing the musical Six at the Belk Theater, I took my girlfriend to dinner at Fin & Fino. This was our first time eating here, and we were so impressed. I enjoy a good cocktail, and you can have the bartender make you a drink by picking the spirit and giving them a little direction. I had a vodka cocktail with grapefruit and some other mixers, and it was so good. For my second drink, I had the Oh Daddy, which is a bourbon cocktail. For our appetizer, we had the shrimp cocktail and a tomato cucumber salad. They were both so tasty. For our meal, we had the salmon, scallops, and house pasta with mussels. All of the food was outstanding. We finished the night with Mom's cheesecake. It was so delicious. Our server, Earl, provided exceptional service. Fin & Fino is a restaurant that you must try. I look forward to going back.

    Fin & Fino is a great restaurant in Charlotte. I ended up here for dinner because it was rated as one of the top restaurants in the area. I feel like the restaurant scene is just starting to pick up and Fin & Fino is one of the restos leading the way. The food was good and tasty, the service was nice (sat at the bar) and the atmosphere is awesome for the area.

    The oysters were good, but the halibut was mind blowingly amazing! Heist Raspberry Freeze was quite tasty too! I love that the music is not loud so it gives this fancy place a cool vibe that you can talk without raising your voice over it.

    Fresh ingredients. Yummy lobster roll. Grilled chicken sandwich with big pieces of fresh chicken, grilled to perfection. Navy, our server, is funny ans sweet. He made us laugh with great senses of humor. Must try cheesecake here; so good! Love it.

👍👍 Skeptical. I visited this place because of a research on brunch places in downtown. Ended here because of the Google rating. Almost Worth it! The Italian sausage hash was really good. But my spouse ordered an avocado toast and it lacked flavor. Also, the coffee was legit; really good! Also ordere...
