   Nice, modern, clean, upscale. Comparable to a downtown Boston restaurant. Busy on a Saturday night, was seated 15 after reservation time but was able to have a drink at the bar. Could have used one more bartender as it took a while to be served. Waiter was great, helped set expectations on length of steak cook time. Offered his sommelier knowledge and some wine tastings to help pick a wine with dinner. Food was well cooked. Would go back for another special occasion. Pricey for a more frequent meal.

   I was blown away by the overall experience but the food came up short. Will be back. La Fina is a beautiful space with excellent service. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly, and the manager provided great assistance with wine selection. The drinks were amazing and flavorful, although one of us had a margarita that was only about four sips. My husband and I visited with another couple for dinner. I had the scallops, and my husband had the swordfish. Unfortunately, both dishes and their accompaniments—creamed spinach and croquettes—were extremely salty. The presentation was lovely, and the flavors could have worked well, but the saltiness overpowered everything. It felt like dining at the 99 on a nice plate. Despite this, we will definitely be back, as the overall experience was excellent. Perhaps next time, we'll stick to drinks and appetizers rather than dinner.

   Absolutely love Andover. In particular Downtown Andover. Incredibly charming, quaint & full of character. La Fina is an amazing eatery right in the heart of Downtown Andover. Most certainly a local favorite with their boutique style ambience, sexy space & sophisticated decor. Their menu also delivers a variety of European influenced dishes. "Just contemporary fine dining with a distinct twist." Service was in fact impeccable and well rounded on all fronts. Sitting at La Fina with family, friends or loved ones, you're bound to have a wonderful time. La Fina Burger A delicious & perfectly cooked beef patty in between a sesame bun. Red onion jam, aged cheddar and an amazing truffle aioli served with incredible fries. Avocado Waffle The only reason for my 4 star rating. Having read the name, I was wowed and so naturally I expected the dish to have that wow factor as well. However it was a basic waffle, with two poached eggs on top (had a bit of raw egg), avocado slices, chorizo and a relatively bland salsa verde. It was also supposed to have scallion curls which were missing from the dish. Even with that, I am still looking forward for my return to La Fina... for a romantic dinner date this time.

   The eggs Benedict was great. The service was awesome and the ambience was just right. We went on Sunday for brunch and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

   While pricey, La Fina is a top restaurant with impeccable food and service. Kind and friendly (not stuffy) atmosphere Management walking around, offering kind words, very visible

    Great service and friendly people. My issues, My wife ordered her steak med rare and it was rare! Only ate outside of steak which was more cooked. Staff offered to reheat but it was too late. My filet was ordered rare and was medium rare at best. With steaks priced at $72 I don’t think you should have to pay additional $6 for a sauce. The sides were good. Each had a glass of wine and another drink. With tip ran about $350. Very expensive for 1 hour meal and food didn’t melt in my mouth for the price.
