    From the moment we walked in, we knew we had found a place the area had been missing for years. Cathy greeted us with a warm welcome, instantly making us feel at home in the vibrant and stylish atmosphere. Ethan and his team went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience. Cristina and Dustin impressed us with their incredible service and deep knowledge of the menu, while the chef crafted a unique selection of dishes you’d expect to find in one of the top five food cities in the U.S. If I could give it 10 stars, I would. Congratulations to everyone involved—we’ll definitely be back! — JimmyGoats

    Great experience. Good food, reasonable prices, great ambience, wonderful staff. The bar area is loud so you may want to request another room to done if that’s a problem for you. Outdoor seating in warmer weather.

    Lovely people manage and work at this special restaurant, food is creative and delicious, (although a teensy bit rich). We had a great time and thank Jeff, Ethan and the rest of the staff for creating a casual, charming atmospheric restaurant in Frenchtown. Our out of town guests had a wonderful time!

    We have been to Finnbar a few times and have always had great food and service, but on Saturday we had our most stellar dinner yet! The "Very crunchy winter vegetable salad" sounds basic and good for you, but it is out of this world, very creative and incredibly tasty. We would go back for this dish alone! And the wines are always superb! We just returned from a few days in NYC where we ate well, but nothing compared to the ambience and food at Finnbar in little Frenchtown, New Jersey.
