It was bustling at 9:30 pm but felt cozy and charming given a fairly substantial space. Service at the bar was excellent..Txakoli rose paired well with all the dishes Oysters were well balanced with the white sauce(usually smothered on chicken -crab claws with chives were well paired - swordfish belly was succulent but could use a little punch ( shaved ginger or horseradish?) - seared mackerel was nice but maybe a little smoke or calamansi? - the crispy hashbrown with uni/crab- PERFECT! - toast with lobster was decadently tasty but the escargot got a little lost..a sprinkle of seasoned salt? Overall a unique and wonderful menu which we cannot wait to eat the rest of the dishes😋

We enjoyed our meal at Spice Finch very much. Our server was excellent. The food was very good. I like that one can make a meal out of lots of small sharing plates so everyone can taste as much as they want and try lots of dishes.

Cocktails, dinner, and dessert were all great and exceeded our expectations. The service was also great, very friendly and knowledgable. Was on the pricier side for what we usually spend, but felt everything was worth it. Would definitely recommend
