We order delivery from Fin and Tonic every time we want American food. Chili's and Gecko's used to be where we would order from but their food has been really disappointing the past few years. Paying $20 for a stale bunned burger with 8 French fries on the side is ridiculous. I decided to try Fin and Tonic and I'm so glad that I did. Their food is consistently really good. Great portion sizes and selections. Their burgers, salads, sandwiches and apps have all been delicious and their prices reasonable. We won't be ordering from anywhere else. read more

Well, about a year and a half or so ago a couple friends of mine and I went to the pentatonic and sat at a booth and nobody came in and even said hi or will be right with you. Nothing we sat there for 15 minutes with people walking by us so over and over so we left and just now my boyfriend and I went in and sat at the bar and nobody talk to us. Nobody even acknowledged USA sitting there didn't say we'll be right with you. Nothing- Yes they were busy, but still should have at least acknowledged us. We were sitting there for like 10 minutes. We left. We're done trying. read more

Atmosphere awesome. Abby helped me decide on a vino. And Will was behind the bar throwing them drinks down!! GREAT CHOCOLATE MARTINI. The food needs to be enhanced. Last time I came here the broccoli was cooked perfectly and shrimp came with cocktail sauce. This time no. The blackened chicken nachos I would forgo an honest from review. The only person who was a familiar face was the busser and the manager. All new employees.. makes me wonder what happened. Will be back for Will. read more

Creative menu, great service, but terribly over air-conditioned. Bring a coat! Craft cocktails, pleasant atmosphere, wonderful staff read more

Sat at a table in the bar with our good friends on 9/13. Great service with awesome cocktails and wine pours. The HH Street corn dip and nachos were great with huge portions. The shrimp cocktail and the French connection was tasty and good. The BBQ chicken flatbread was very tasty. Brianna, the bar manager, took great care of our table and is awesome. The fish videos on the monitors and the ambiance is first class. We definitely will be back. read more

Scallop entree was delicious. I also appreciated the wine by the glass selection. I sat at the bar and the service was excellent.

There are so many items on their menu to write home about. However today was special. I wanted a sweet sauce for my crab cakes and they had a good but tangy one on their menu. I almost switched to my second menu option but the waitress said we can make you the special sauce you want. I described what i was looking for and the kitchen nailed it. I got my crab cakes and the flavors that I was looking for. Bravo fin and tonic...customer for life! read more

Wow! Must have driven by this place 100 times and never stopped. Were we missing out! This place is really clean and welcoming. I had the short ribs that melted in my mouth and came with delicious mashed potatoes and a generous side of broccoli. Normally restaurants skimp on the vegetables but I was so pleased that this place does not. Hubby had Parmesan chicken which he raved about too. Highly recommend and will definitely go back! read more

Happy hour is a great deal with generous fun options from drinks to eats! Full disclosure, I love this place, the decor and menu has always been a stand out. The fish tacos have the BEST flavor! (If you are a spice & sauce loving person this is a must try!) We sit at the bar and have a different expectation of service when we do. We asked & reminded them of the water requested 5x. The cocktail was so weak we were not sure if it was just soda or had anything in it. They did say during HH if you want to get it ordered, let the bartender know to order in advance, to have a backup at half price in the wings. I thought that was very nice! Definitely miss the deviled eggs w pork belly being on the menu! read more

Very nice place. Food and drinks were on point. Owners are excellent. Give it a shot.

We went there with a group of friends just before the Christmas holidays on a Friday night. Wait staff was excellent. Food so so. No one in the group complained about the food, but no one praised it either. Inside set up left a lot to be desired as well. Would be ok as a sports bar ... and I would eat at the bar, but never again in the dining area. Let the market forces decide if this restaurant stays a float or not. read more

Excellent service in a relaxed and casual environment. Great bar with lots of seating. High tops and booths to accommodate all group sizes. The food is delicious and the drinks were reasonably priced. A very good happy hour and daily specials. Great place for meeting friends, celebrating or just date night. read more

We had the privilege of trying Fin & Tonic ahead of its soft opening. Fresh, modern decor, spacious dining area, and a diverse menu - from casual bar food to high-end dinners. Today I savored the perfectly seasoned shrimp Po'boy prepared with a delightful blend of flavors. Excited to explore their dinner options on the Monday evening opening. This is a great addition to the South Sarasota restaurant scene. Salute! read more

Absolutely the most rude manager ever in all the years we have gone to restaurants ... horrible attitude started a screaming match with a 66 year old disabled woman about her service dog ... I'd never give this restaurant my business ever ! read more

Great service and atmosphere and decor. Have a great happy hour and will return- great food!

Rubbery tuna, rude bartender complaining about everything. Really a sad experience. The place wasn't even busy for a Friday night. Then, to top it off, she overcharged me for my drink. Don't go here, plenty of great food & drink options in the area. Overpriced and under delivered! Decor is updated and new. read more

We went to happy hour. It was busy and it appeared that the staff was overwhelmed. We ordered appetizer's and had to wait over an hour for them. The bartender, who was quite abrupt and grumpy, had to reorder them twice. We ordered the grouper bits that were quite good once they arrived Bottom line, good food but subpar service with a bad attitude. read more

We went back for happy hour and enjoyed this place again. They have changed the menu, but it's still very good. I love the crispy brussel sprouts and the grouper bites. Our service was lacking, but I think the girl was new and overloaded with tables. It took a good half hour just to get drinks, and some of our food orders were screwed up too. The waitress could not answer any of our questions about the food or drinks (for example, what's a French Martini?). Sounds and looks like a management issue to me. read more

Fin & Tonic definitely deserves five stars. We ate in the restaurant, and the food was delicious while the wait staff were friendly. Later, I booked the back room--which includes its own bar--for a holiday party for our Scuba Club. Javi, the owner, made sure everything was ready to go and helped with all the decisions on the food selection. The meal was served family-style and began with drinks and delicious hors d'oeuvres. The background music created a great atmosphere for conversation and mingling. The wait staff included Jessica and Selena. Both were excellent, but Selena went above and beyond. She is a high-energy person, extremely attentive to every detail, and always eager to help whenever she saw a need. She even helped set up the monitors for our slideshow, which was a big help. The food was plentiful and very delicious. Everyone at the party was extremely impressed by how Fin & Tonic hosted the event. Javi has created a clean, bright, and comfortable restaurant and event space. They also offer a long list of weekly specials and happy hour options. ***** read more

First, I should say, I went there with my bowling group of about 20 people. Because it was on a Tuesday, we ordered burgers. The burgers were good, not great. I felt the prices were kind of high for the seafood. As we were a large group, I felt the service was excellent. They were able to accommodate our group, including getting the food out simultaneously and giving everyone separate checks without making people wait a long time. I would go back again to try the seafood. All in all, not a bad place, but not a fabulous place either. read more

I love a locally owned, family run restaurant and fin and tonic does not disappoint. I had the strip steak with Boursin. It was perfectly cooked and the portion was very generous. My son had the burger with loaded tots. Others in our party had the pork chop, peel and eat shrimp and soup of the day. We had the apple pie and key lime pie for dessert and they were fabulous. Our appetizer was Parmesan butter oysters. Food quality, presentation, wait staff, portion size, decor, parking and price point makes me wish I could leave higher than 5 stars. It's rare to find a restaurant firing on all cylinders but fin and tonic does! Will be regulars here for sure! read more

Great atmosphere service and food. Menu is diverse with seafood pasta and steak options.

We went to Finn & Tonic for the first time. I didn't even know this place existed. It opened in October It's on 41. The restaurant is beautiful with 3 bars and a beautiful dining room. Everything was delicious ! We had the duck appetizer, the tilefish special, the steak, wine and strawberry mojito. The dessert we picked the NY style cheesecake. Our waitress Jess was so sweet and the owner even came over to the table to ask how our meal was. Can't wait to try their other dishes. Only thing that can approve is the were servers standing against the wall chatting which was very close to were we were eating. It wasn't our server ..but a lady and a man. I didn't like that every time I looked up from my meal I was seeing them standing right infront of me chatting. Find a different spot to be attentive to guests . Looking forward to more meals here read more

My wife and I were glad to get a reservation at this very popular place. We were seated near the bar on a very busy Thursday evening. Looking over the menu, my wife opted for "grouper" bites and a small salad. I got the New Bedford scallops and shrimp. I will say the shrimp were expertly prepared and some of the best I had in recently memory. The risotto was nicely executed and the sauce was delicious. But... the scallops were clearly frozen and the kitchen did do a nice job trying to sear the 3 frozen scallops. However, you can't mistake the texture of a frozen scallop. At a $39 price point, I do not understand serving frozen scallops? A closer look around the menu and one can see that frozen seafood is a mainstay of the offerings there. In addition to the frozen scallops, the restaurant serves frozen crab legs, lobster tails, green mussels, corn, I could go on I am sure. The "grouper bites" were hardly identifiable as fish much less grouper. The thick and abundant breading was just way too much for the measly bit of protein it was concealing. I don't think we'll go back. read more

Chicken Parmesan was surprising and delicious. Generous serving and perfectly roasted Brussel sprouts. Highly recommend.

Love this place. The food is excellent and fairly priced, the Happy Hour is OUTSTANDING! We met Miguel the chef and were very impressed. They are all about quality and customer satisfaction. Our server was Lauren and she emphasized they just wanted their customers to be happy! Great attitude. This is our new FAVORITE restaurant All boxes checked. read more

Had dinner last night. Immediately we were impressed by the quality of the decor - we all loved the interior makeover! Our server was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable on the menu. For dinner we started with the Deviled Eggs - smoked chipotle whipped yolk, pork belly burnt ends, chives. I found them to be very tasty and creative with the burnt ends! Next up Caesar Salad - focaccia croutons, crisp romaine, kale, parmesan cheese, creamy caesar dressing. An expertly prepared salad, the dressing was very good. And for dinner, Tuna Mignon - spicy asian mustard, orange ginger demi, crisp green cabbage, edamame, radish, bell pepper, chopped peanuts, fresno chilies. I thought the tuna was cooked to perfection, rare. One note, the dish was indeed spicy, although it was jalapeños in the dish that made it hot, not listed on the ingredients list. Not a big deal to me as I like the heat, however, it wasn't expected, and the heat was overpowering the other flavors in the dish. We enjoyed our experience! read more

Wow!! Food is excellent! The staff was wonderful! Got Fin and Tonic with salt. Also Old Fashion was great! Loved Grouper Bites, Dynamite Shrimp, Nachos, Tuna Stack. Salmon and Short Ribs were amazing! The Javi Margarita was a favorite as well! All the staff were like family working together! Kudos to all who made our new favorite restaurant a hit! Prices are a bonus too! Thank you!! Brianna was awesome, so was Kyle! read more

Great Happy Hour food and drinks! It's a local favorite. Huge dining room with separate party room in back with entry for parking. read more

This place was very disappointing. The food was truly terrible. The risotto was bland and undercooked with standing butter over the top and shrimp with no seasoning. I literally could not keep it down. The service wasn't great, no plates for our appetizer (which that shrimp dish wasn't bad), never took our menus away, left us waiting long periods of time to order etc. We really wanted to love this place but it just was such a waste of time and money. read more

Visited on Sunday 12-14. The Lobster Bisque was so salty that it was almost inedible. Told the waitress but nothing was done about it. The parm Risotto was not cooked enough. The rice pieces were literally hard on the inside. The Tuna stack was just ok. Not a lot of flavor. My friend had the same experience with her lobster bisque. She got the grouper nuggets and they tasted fishy and not like it was really grouper. Service was meh. The restaurant interior was very nice. Overall very disappointed in this restaurant. We won't return. read more

Had a great meal last night and the hospitality from every member of the staff was exceptional. They've only been open 2 weeks and it's obvious their menu is exploratory. Nick, our server walked us through what he felt was working best on the menu and his recommendations were perfect. The Swedish meatballs weren't something I would normally order but finding out the Chef was Swedish made me want to try them out. It was a spectacular dish. The drinks were delicious as well. Not a gin drinker but wanted to try their signature cocktail and again was pleasantly surprised. Javi margarita was also a hit. Javi stopped by the table and was an absolute pleasure to chat with. You can tell the owners take pride in their establishment and value their guests. This place will have us coming back and I urge you to try it out! read more
