    Hands down the best lunch I have ever had. Sorry to say that here because I expect this place will become a hard to get reservation!

    Enjoy your meal at Finnbar! Ambiance, service, and food were all very good. It felt like going for a good meal in Northern Caliifornia. Our only complaint was the menu was not available online. And with a very limited menu, people with food allergies and sensitivities may be out of luck when they get there. Our party got lucky in that one item on the menu was ok for her to eat because she can pick out the items that she couldn't eat. But had we shown up a few days earlier, there was nothing on the menu that she could eat.

    One of our favorite places, Finnbar never disappoints. With the best crew; knowledgeable, impassioned, and friendly. Great, cozy digs; the draft-stopping drapes and new acoustical panels made a huge difference in creating our recent snug experience. And the food is simply the best around; seasonal, fresh, inventive, and creative without being twee or too much. The love shines through in every way at this special spot, where there's something for everyone and everyone is welcome. So glad your here Finnbar, thank you!

    We've driven by this place for over a year and always thought it was just a bar and inn as the sign says out front. Finally went in and discovered the most delicious food served in a beautiful atmosphere. And they donate most of their profits to a local charity. It's our new favorite restaurant in the area.

    Two of us each had two starters, an entrée, and dessert. The food was exquisite! The attention to ingredients, balance, and selection in each dish was remarkable. We couldn't pick a favorite plate between the two of us. The service was also excellent; every person we encountered seemed genuinely appreciative and happy to share in the experience. Finn Bar is highly recommended!
