The service and the ambiance of the restaurant are fantastic! However, when you pay $200+ for a meal you hope the food will stand out as well and it wasn’t great! Some of the items were really good but some of it was also really gross. No fault to the chefs at all! The menu looked great on the outside but the dishes themselves were almost trying to be too intricate… the simple menu items were the best ones. If we go back it’ll just be for a drink and maybe an app.

Wonderful server Daniel, Food was very good. Defiantly going for a more casual vibe than Dressler's (previous occupant).

The food was great! Stars of the evening were the sauteed shrimp, tuna crudo, seafood salad, and scallops. Raw oysters were fresh and impeccably cleaned - not a bit of grit or shell. The lobster mac and cheese feature was fine, but disappointing in comparison to the other dishes we had. All of the seafood was perfectly cooked. We shared a slice of carrot cake to cap off the night and it was great too. We overall had a lovely experience. There were some stumbles with service but our waiter was very friendly (if sometimes scattered). We'll be back.

If you like small plates, this is the place to come. I have had almost everything on the menu and have not eaten anything that I didn't enjoy. The drinks (sometimes slow in getting) are well made. The service is excellent. Please go ahead and try.

Fin & Fino never disappoints. It starts at the reception stand. We were, as usual, warmly greeted and having noted there was a birthday, the hostess wished me a Happy Birthday. Our server, Alex, greeted us with a welcoming smile and another Happy Birthday. She thanked us for our continued patronage as she explained the off menu offerings. We could not have been happier with our food selections, oysters to start, followed by lobster bisque for me. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Halibut, and since it was my birthday, I enjoyed the surf and turf, filet and lobster tail. Alex was great throughout and ever so positive. As we left, the hostess once again wished me a Happy Birthday. It was a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday.

A spectacular experience. They took a large party last minute. We’re happy to work with dietary restrictions and the cocktails and food were PERFECT. Simple. Clean. AMAZING food and atmosphere. For sure we’ll become regulars!

What a disappointment!! We had guests in town and dined at Fin & Fino on Wednesday 11/27/24. Much to our surprise and disappointment, it was one of the worst value dining experiences we’ve encountered in quite some time. We have previously dined at Fin & Fino- Birkdale and left feeling that this was our go to restaurant in the Lake Norman area. On this occasion, we chose the “Treatment” for the table, which we would not recommend to anyone; Unless you are happy overpaying for your meal. Once arriving home, we added up the total of the dishes that we were initially served and we would have overplayed by almost $200 for 6 guests, had we not complained and requested additional dishes. Although we were served additional dishes to “try to make it right,” unfortunately it was too little too late for our evening. The dishes we were served were fair, at best. The Lobster Mac’n Cheese, Mushroom Toast and Little Gem salad (each of which we provided two of for the table) are dishes we recommend avoiding. Lettuce in Little Gem Salad was brown and wilted ; Our guests described both the Mushroom Toast and Lobster Mac’n Cheese as dishes that they would serve if trying to convince someone to hate mushrooms or Mac’n cheese. Remainder of dishes were not stellar either, but these were the most egregious offenses to the palate. (Halibut was overcooked, “Cajun” oysters were smothered in what tasted like Barbecue sauce, but were edible). We hope that this was just an off night prior to a holiday, that we assume was staffed primarily by the B-Team, but will be leery to return, especially given the price tag of dining here. AnnaLisa, the manager on duty, was unhelpful, dismissive of our concerns, and argumentative when confronted. We will definitely think twice before dining here again. Advice to future diners wishing to avoid getting ripped off: Avoid this restaurant, but if you choose to give them a chance, avoid the “Treatment” at all costs.
