    Lobster Roll
    Tameka F.

    My kids and I stopped by Finney's after leaving the library. This was my third visit, my daughter's second, and my son's 1st, and he picked the spot. No wait when we arrived, which my tired self appreciated. The vibe was lively but still family‑friendly. We started with the lobster roll and fried pickle fries. The lobster rolls were fine, but the pickle fries tasted like overworked oil and were definitely overcooked. I've had fried pickles elsewhere that I still think about. These... not so much. For entrées, we ordered a smash burger, blackened shrimp fajitas, and a grilled chicken club. The chicken club was solid. The smash burger had A1 sauce my son wasn't expecting, but once they remade it, he said it was decent. The fajitas were the real miss... no beans or rice sides, overcooked veggies, and seasoning so hot it didn't balance with anything. Back they went, and my daughter settled for a Caesar salad. After three visits, I think it's safe to say Finney's just isn't my restaurant. The menu feels limited, and the food has been hit‑or‑miss each time. No shade, it's simply not my lane. The service, though, was great. Our server was kind, patient, and attentive. The experience wasn't bad, but I won't be rushing back.

    Lobster rolls appetizers that you must order.

    The food is great the service was excellent and the ambiance is the best in the business. I highly suggest that you visit this place

    We went a couple of weeks ago for the annual New England West gals holiday brunch. Nice location, service was attentive... at times but this is a very busy place. The hit for us were the Deviled Eggs. Great oversized booths, perfect for those parties of 6. Respectfully Reviewed.

    Margarita flight

    The food I chose was great (I only did appetizers) so I chose the coconut shrimp and buffalo wings. I loved them. The drinks were ok. Cute but just ok. I ordered the margarita flight and it just tasted like I was drinking aqua Fresca. But I loved the whole establishment. Will def go back and maybe try other foods and drinks! Our waitress was great too. She made sure to come back a few times to check on us.

    Finney's is located in such a prime location in downtown Redlands. The place is huge and as I walked in, I thought I saw a "game room" sign. Although I didn't venture to that side of the restaurant, I definitely love a place with a fun communal activity. The service was great and overall vibe of the place was lively. The food was honestly just ok. My friends got burgers, fries and coconut shrimp which the said was delicious. I got the prosciutto and arugula pizza. Not the best pizza I've ever had but still enjoyable. Honestly I think what would've made it outstanding is if the arugula was fresh on top of the pizza, instead of cooked because it wilted the herb. All in all, good place and I'd probably be back.

    Mini cheeseburger sliders

    While in the Redlands area, I decided to grab lunch. Finney's opened their 10th location in the inland Empire, so I decided to give it a try. The atmosphere was nice and I was able to secure a seat outside. Oy, I was not a fan of their misters and ended up moving tables. My waiter was nice and cordial. Because it was my first time at this restaurant, I asked him what he recommended and he said the buffalo cauliflower and onion rings. Not a lover of hot sauce, so was very hesitant on the buffalo cauliflower. He said if I didn't like it, he would be glad to take it off and bring me something else. The presentation was nice, however I was definitely NOT a fan of the yuzu sauce and blue cheese combo. Definitely not eaten. Moving on. After reading the reviews regarding their appetizers, I had high hopes for the onion rings. The onion rings were just OK, IMO. I've definitely had fatter, meatier (if you will) onion rings with a crispier crust. I traded the buffalo cauliflower for the mini cheeseburger sliders. I was stunned when my waiter said it was ground up brisket. Who grinds up brisket? That should have alerted me! Nonetheless, I said bring them out. They were about an inch thick and so greasy I could only eat one. Will I return? Very debatable.

    Great menu! Excellent service with a brew pub inside an old bank, vault included. We sat on the patio garnering 3 tables for our group. One couple is a regular the rest were newbys. Appetizers of ahi poke, wings, salads and pepperoni pizza. I had the smash burger with double patties. Really moist and juicy for a thin, thin patty. I could have done a triple. Great selection of beers as you might imagine. Good confident menu guidance was also a key to overall experience. The billing was seamless as we were able to break down our bills in any manner we needed. Makes it easy to bring your group.

    This place was ok but I would definitely not recommend anyone go out of their way to come here. Service was alright. Very nice but a little slow. This was a Saturday at 2pm. There was no wait but all of our food came out at different times. Some of the people in my party got multiple dishes to share but half their order was on the table going cold while we waited for the other half. For example, we got the sandwich but not the side of fries. The food was very average. I got a Caesar Salad and I added Salmon to it. The Salmon smelled so fishy that multiple people at the table who do not like fish were disgusted. I go to many restaurants where I order fish and it has been a long time since I smelled fish so strongly. This was most likely not fresh. Also it was overcooked. I will say that their wings were great and drink options are great as well. Aside from that, I would say you could skip this place. Copehouse is nearby. Escape brewery is good as well. JW Riley distillery would also be a great alternative.

    Loved the ambiance and atmosphere. Great service. Came here with my husband and sat at the bar since it was a 45 min wait for a table. We ordered some tacos and deviled eggs as an appetizer. Loved their drinks; I ordered their kettle greyhound (delish)my husband ordered their beer flights and he said he loved it. Would definitely come back again to try other food.

    Looking for a cool sports/gaming bar for drinks and food here's the place.. Good food! Good drinks! Good service!

    I came in for lunch and had a great experience. Overall, the restaurant has a nice vibe, not too busy during the day, but I can imagine it gets pretty packed at night. The food was solid. The wings were definitely the highlight perfectly cooked and flavorful. Definitely recommend those if you're a wing lover the poke nachos were also really good. They had a lot of fresh ingredients. I felt like they were missing a little something maybe a bit of spicy mayo for a punch of flavor still enjoyable. The chipotle chicken sandwich was tasty a bit on the dry side, not a dealbreaker on the flipside, The fried pickles were amazing crispy and tangy all in all a great lunch spot. Will return.

    Stopped here tonight for a pint and a quick bite to eat, sat at the bar as I was by myself. The beer menu is diverse with a combination on in-house brews and guest taps. I was gob smacked that they had five dark beers, a rarity in the age of IPAs. I had a nice in-house Finney's Brown Ale, low IBU and very tasty. For eats, I had the quinoa salmon bowl, which was excellent. There's plenty of pub food here, but also some healthy bowls and salads. The staff are friendly, and there's plenty of seating. As Arnold would say "I'll be back".

    Very popular for the 4 pm crowd.

    Nice ambiance , fast service , friendly. The food is very good and very consistent , you can taste the fresh ingredients.

It's a perfect place for a date or a night out with friends or family. The focal point of the main dining room is the bar, which faces the restaurant's entrance. Meticulously designed with a nostalgic feel, the bar features blonde wood shelves holding hundreds of vinyl records, carefully curated design objects, and a DJ booth neatly tucked into a corner next to the bar. The beer taps are elegantly minimalist, and every detail in the bar--for example, the old-fashioned glass syrup bottles--seems planned to give a nod to history (specifically the late 19th century, when Redlands was founded). The main dining room offers plenty of comfortable seating choices, including a long bar along the center of the room. The patio is spacious and well kept. All of the spaces inside and out have music piped in from the bar. There are two restrooms just off the patio, and these are well-maintained. On busy nights, patrons can enjoy a drink in a standing bar area just off the patio. I love that the Overland provides a choice of setting depending on the kind of night you're planning. A romantic date? Get a reservation to sit inside, and it feels intimate. Just hanging out? The bar is fun as the mixologists make excellent drinks and friendly conversation. Sitting at the bar after 7 PM, you can watch the DJs spin the platters. If you have a larger group or just like to eat alfresco, the patio is perfect. The menu offers a really nice variety of drinks, including the pricier craft cocktails, more classic, moderately priced beverages, nonalcoholic drinks, and all sorts of beer and wine. The food menu is solid, with plenty of appetizers, salads, entrées, and a dessert. The real star is the tacos! These are very moderately priced at seven dollars apiece, and all three varieties are delicious! There is a potato taco, a beef taco, and pork chili Verde taco. I highly recommend these! The green salsa they provide is extremely mild, but they do have a variety of hot sauces on hand. It's worth mentioning that even a humble plate of tacos is served on nice ceramic dishes, along with good flatware and napkins.The espresso martini cheesecake is creamy and delicious, and the portion is really generous. The staff seem to enjoy working at the Overland. The servers work hard to make sure your order is to your liking, and food comes out pretty fast. There's a good sense of teamwork among them. The staff is also accommodating about seating or any special requests. We've been there on a busy Friday night, and on a Sunday evening and late night. The Overland is always at least moderately busy, so reservations are strongly recommended. The city of Redlands should be very proud of this establishment. Go and have fun!

When we arrived, there was a group of three ahead of us, which was completely fine. Once it was our turn, one of my friends made a lighthearted joke just to lighten the mood, that's simply his personality. The hostess immediately responded with a very dry attitude, which we brushed off at first. However, things only got worse from there. As we stood there waiting, multiple groups who arrived after us were suddenly being attended to first. She was checking their IDs, writing their names down on the iPad, and letting them in before us, even though we had clearly been waiting longer. We eventually approached her and asked why our IDs hadn't been checked or our names added yet. She responded by saying she had told us to wait in line, which never happened. None of us were ever directed to a line. From that point on, her tone became increasingly condescending and disrespectful. When I told her that she should speak to customers more respectfully, she mockingly grabbed her ear and said, "What? I can't hear you, it's loud in here," even though it was not loud at all. It felt extremely immature and unnecessary. She also made comments about being the "senior hostess," but honestly, that title means nothing if customers are being treated poorly. Everyone has bad days, but that does not justify taking it out on guests. My friends and I are not the type to complain or leave reviews, but the attitude and behavior we experienced were genuinely inappropriate and unprofessional. We ended up leaving without even going inside. Unfortunately we did not get her name. But she is a white female with blonde hair and glasses, wearing a pink and white Renaissance style outfit and distinctive floral inspired eyeliner makeup that went all the way to her hairline. I'll admit, I eventually became frustrated and felt the need to defend myself and my friends because of how we were being spoken to. I'm not proud that the interaction even reached that point, but the way we were treated felt unnecessarily rude, dismissive, and disrespectful from the beginning.

I totally recommend ordering the adult lunchable special because it's a good snack starter and the best deal for your buck. It comes with a charcuterie style box with a cereal type dessert and two alcoholic drink pouches for one price. I really enjoy their smurf lagoon drink as well. The bartenders are quick even when it gets busy. Totally recommend to check this place out at least once!

We seated ourselves at our favorite raised table in the corner on the far side of the bar. My husband and I stuck to traditional cocktails, and old fashioned and a Negroni. Our friends chose signature cocktails: the Turbo Granny and the Electric Feel. Now the Electric Feel was not just a drink, it was an experience. Our server explained to our friend that he should sip a little of the drink, then chew the Szechuan buzz bud for about 15 seconds, letting it coat his whole tongue, then enjoy the rest of the drink which would taste different afterwards. Our friend went through all those steps and said it was incredible, like all the flavors were enhanced along with different sensations in his mouth, kind of numb and tingly. His wife was not satisfied with his description of the experience, so she bought a Szechuan buzz bud for $2 and she said it was kind of like pop rocks. These buzz bud looks just like a little flower bud like the end of a dandelion once the seeds are blown away. It comes from a plant. Totally fascinating! We enjoyed our one cocktail each here and just had great conversation. It was a fun night because of the company, and also because we had a little adventure going to two amazing places!

We decided on weekend brunch, especially since there were endless mimosas. Our kids have a recollection of being down the class umbrella alleyway, so they were amazed when they saw it. A short while later, we were in front of the restaurant and were quickly seated by the staff. They didn't ask if we preferred outdoor or indoor seating, but we were seated inside right next to the kitchen. We heard that indoor seating was better for service anyway. The interior of the restaurant was "very fancy," and my daughter thought we were in a date spot. We knew we wanted French fries and opted for the garlic Parmesan fries. At first, the kids were weirded out by the arugula, but my daughter ended up enjoying it, noting the bitter and salty notes. My son devoured the entire plate (not the arugula) and asked for another round. We also ordered the lemon ricotta French toast, made from Brioche bread, lemon blackberry butter, whipped lemon ricotta cream, blackberries, mint, and maple syrup. They perfected the crispy exterior, which contrasted well with the fluffy bread. My wife ordered the breakfast pizza--a focaccia pizza topped with marinara, ham, spinach, fresh tomato, red onion, a sunny-side-up egg, and herb-infused maple syrup. This was really delicious with the tart, fresh tomatoes, the salty ham, and the sweet maple syrup. I ended up eating the sunny-side egg by itself, so we didn't get to try the pizza with the egg. Lastly, I ordered the steak and eggs, but it was sadly a small portion. I ordered it medium rare, and it came out medium. The seasoning was a bit strange and would have been better with simple salt, pepper, and garlic. The mimomas really made my wife happy. She started feeling it pretty quickly. She chose the pineapple juice while I got the traditional orange. Not sure if the alcohol made the food better or the other way around. I was brought to reality when I saw the expensive bill, though.

    I really wanted to like this place, my friends and I were genuinely excited to try it. The…read moreaesthetic is beautiful...the decor and overall concept makes for an intriguing night out. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the hype. Service was the main issue. The bartenders seemed inexperienced, and our server wasn't familiar with the drinks, often needing to check with someone else. It took about 20 minutes to receive our first round. Our reservation was at 10:30, we were seated until 10:40, and the place closes at midnight so timing already felt tight. Because of the wait, we asked to order two drinks at once for the next round, but were told it's limited to one at a time. That would be understandable if service were faster, but it took another 20 minutes to get the second drink. We were also told drinks from the regular menu take longer, so I tried one from the specialty menu...still a 20-minute wait. It was a frustrating experience. That said, the space itself is smaller and more intimate, which could make it a nice date spot. I do think this place has potential, and I'd consider giving it another chance, hopefully with smoother service next time. Oh Beignets were amazing!! Yummy little donuts!

    After being to the one in Rancho Cucamonga multiple times, I had very high expectations for the…read moreBlack Antlwr Book Club. When we walked into this speakeasy, behind a movable shelf, I was greatly disappointed by the size of this place. It literally was the size of a walk in closet. Probably a fifth of the size of the one in Rancho. The room was so small and cramped. We sat at the round tables which was small for 2 people, and they were spaced so close to each other. Another couple sat next to us and we could here their entire conversation. The space is just so cramped. Maybe 6 round tables with barely a foot apart. Then the bar top basically when someone is sitting there, theres less then a foot of space to go inbetween. The decor is beautiful. I did enjoy the library theme. Service here is a disappointment. There was inly 2 groups (including ourselves) when we arrived and service was excessively slow. On their featured cocktails which was the same as the one in Rancho (6 drinks?), they were already out of the first 2. And mind you, they've only been open for 2 hours. We asked them to prepare unique off the menu drinks. They basically gave us drinks from the main restaurant menu. Rum for the hills and an old fashion. The bartender at the Rancho location is so much better and nicer and way more creative. Able to create unique individual drinks off the top of his head. Not here though. She asked us what we were ordering at least times. And she still got our orders (food) wrong. The glass was sticky from the sugars. We ordered no grilled onions on the burger and it came with grilled onions. She was so unsure of what they carried (alcohol wise) that she had to go ask the other guy on multiple occasions. When the bill came, we didnt get a pen to sign it with. So we went to the bar area. The guy was a total A-hole. He was like what do you want? Woah guy. We're trying to give you more of our hard earned money via tip and sign this check so we can get the heck out of here. Like chill bro. We should be there ones angry with how bad the evening went. Not you. There were multiple flies flying around our table and food. A large fly, and then a small gnat around our drink. It was gross. Overall, it was a terrible experience here. There was mystique (I give you that, love the books). But nothing high end or exclusive about it. Usage of the space and their knowledge of the drinks reminds me of a run down dive bar. They need the bartender from Rancho to come here and revamp everything about this place. The only good thing here is that we were able to order burgers (full menu availability) in this speakeasy as suppose to the one in Victoria Gardens. But besides that, I am 100% not coming back. It just isnt worth it.

    Came on a Martini Monday - got the Lemon Drop. The lemon is tart and fruity but without the sugary…read moreflavor usually added - they use a sugar rim so you can adjust the sweetness to your liking. Excellent choice. The mushroom appetizer is seasoned perfectly, with just a hint of spice on the backend. It is perfectly paired with focaccia bread to soak up the sauce. I had the month's special Lobster ravioli. The sauce was a great balance of tomato and creamy flavors, but a nitpick is that within the ravioli the cheese slightly overpowered the lobster. The staff were quick, friendly, and attentive. The ambiance is quite nice with soft, warm lighting and an interesting and fun mix of textures and colors. The wall of TVs above the bar unfortunately do break the ambiance to some extent, but they're easy to ignore. I have now added Madri to my short list of downtown Redlands go-to restaurants!

The pastas were so bland. The employees seemed confused. Bad enough to not eat there again. Was so excited to share this meal with our out of town friend. Totally disappointed. Consistency and quality are the most important things a restaurant should maintain. Waste of money and time.

    This is for Sunday brunch. Ordered the bottomless mimosa and was provided a whole bottle of…read morechampagne and a glass of pineapple (requested) juice. It was great to be able to refill as I wanted but kinda awkward to pour without making a mess at the table. Perhaps they could change to a carafe style in the future. My friend ordered a wrap which was huge! And the sweet potato fries were to die for! My steak focaccia sandwich left me wanting. There was maybe two oz of steak, not cut well, and the garlic Parmesan fries just didn't hit. Not bad but also I've had better. Service was prompt and friendly.

They have karaoke here on Wednesday's and Sunday's, which is a lot of fun. Usually I get to sing a few times, not just once, but does depend on how busy it is. Last Wednesday I got to sing three or four songs which was great! On Thursday's listening to the open mic night singers and bands is super fun. I'm not a fan of the comedians, but I just tune them out when they go up and wait for the next singer. It's easy to either order a white claw or a bottle of bubbles with oj when I'm here. Bottles here are a bit pricy, $30 for a super cheap bottle of bubbles (like 6 bucks in the store - just google Wycliff Brut), but on Wednesday's for karaoke they usually have half price bottles which is a pretty good deal if you plan to stay for karaoke. I've gotten the house salad and the cali sliders. Both were fine, not amazing, but good. I really wanted to try the duck fat chicken wings but they've been out every time I've come and this time didn't even see them on the menu anymore! I'll prob try more food around happy hour sometime since they have some pretty good happy hour deals. Service is always nice too, and I never have a problem ordering a drink. They're pretty good about leaving you alone once you have everything too - which I love as an introvert. This place is also very dog friendly and my pup is welcome here. Def come here more for dog friendly karaoke and bubbles/white claw!
