Tried their sandwiches and bowls and really liked the balance of sauce/flavoring with letting the natural ingredients come through. Just prepared very well and even nice to look at. What impressed me even more though was the service. They were super busy while we were there and we admittedly mixed up the name of a dish. Twice. When the food came and we finally figured it out, they were incredible gracious and kindly fixed it all for us without even a hint of annoyance. All while serving the gazillion other folks without missing a beat. Just super competent manager and staff. Top class.

Loved the short ribs (amazing dish), the green goddess salad as well as the Napoli style pizza. The dutch baby was a perfect ending for dinner, i love it when restaurant focus on a central cooking area like a big oven (in this case), so desserts have a similar theme. It feels very authentic.

I like that you can choose between Neapolitan and Detroit-style pizza. Both were delicious, so I'd recommend getting one of each style to try. The ambiance is warm and cozy with a modern rustic vibe. There's both indoor seating and a nice outdoor patio. The service was okay. My only complaint is that I wish there were more than one restroom, especially during busy hours. A fun touch at the end of the meal was that they gave us gummy bears with the check. It was unique and left a great final impression.

I love the prime rib on weekends, and the prime rib sandwich other days of the week. It's always cooked perfectly, super tender and seasoned just right. My vegetarian wife enjoys either the elote dip appetizer or the taquito appetizer. Both are almost meal size, and honestly, her hankering for them is often our reason for eating out here. Service is always quick, efficient, and friendly. We've never had to send a plate back! It's also a great place to bring guests from out of town. They have a full bar, but we don't drink. Bathrooms are always clean.

Driving is a few minutes and walking is probably a good half hour or so depending on how fast you walk. It's located on the other end of downtown but still on the Main Street. The property itself was massive. We checked it out for a drink which they had a really nice patio. Hi top seating as well as tables. Also some of the seating had fire pits for the nice chilly night. Inside was pretty massive as well with main and up stairs seating. I believe it's also a full restaurant but we only utilized it for drinks before dinner. Menu wish did looked good but we only stick to a cocktail and some beer. Service was great and the staffs were friendly. It's was still a little early so the place wasn't that busy. Just from the cocktails, it was great. The property was nice and pretty massive. Location is quieter but still brought in a good amount of foot traffic. Now that we've been here, we know there's a place we can stop by for a meal and drink whenever we stay down in the area again.

They have since opened up their own restaurant in Downtown SLO and celebrated their 1 year anniversary the weekend we were there. Already had plans that evening so missed out on their live cultural show for their celebration but did manage to stop by for lunch the last time we were passing through SLO. I always get the causa every time and this time was no different, getting both the octopus and mushroom causa while the pork chicharron sandwich is always a winner. By actually dining in vs. takeout, meant I can get the Chicha Morada made with purple corn that my high school friend who spent years doing research in the Peruvian Amazon introduced me to decades ago and tried for the first time, the Hot Maca.

Ceviche Mixto (4.8/5): Fresh, bright, and well-balanced. The leche de tigre had great acidity, and the combination of shrimp, calamari, and halibut worked beautifully with the sweet potato and corn. Causa Acevichada (4/5): The creamy potato purée paired perfectly with the ceviche, avocado, and red onions. Tallarín a la Huancaína (4/5): Comfort food at its best. The huancaína sauce was creamy and flavorful without feeling overly heavy, making this a satisfying dish to share. Pollo a la Brasa (4/5): Well-cooked, juicy chicken with crispy skin and a flavorful seasoning blend. A solid choice if you're looking for something classic. Peruvian Risotto (2/5): Not the most memorable dish on the table, as had an overwhelming amount of wine that overpowered the whole dish. I'm not sure if that was intentional, but it wasn't quite what I expected from a traditional

I don't know if it was because of the soccer game or if it's always this busy, but that's usually a good sign. Even with the crowd, our party of six was seated almost immediately. The menu was excellent--not one of those places with ten pages of random items. It was well thought out and made it easy to choose. My wife and I both ordered the jalapeño burger (I can't remember the official name) with a side of tater tots. My son ordered the tuna, my daughter had the chicken tenders, and my nephew and niece both went with the barbecue burger. The food came out surprisingly fast, and then it was time to eat. Wow. This was easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. My wife would not stop talking about hers. Her exact words were, "This burger tastes beefy." I'm still not exactly sure what that means, but judging by how fast she finished it, I'd say she absolutely loved it. To top it all off, our amazing waitress surprised my wife with a complimentary cookie sundae for her birthday. I really wish I had caught her name. She had curly hair and glasses, and she was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. I was not impressed with their margarita flight but who cares, it was about the food. If you're looking for an incredible burger, great service, and a fun atmosphere in San Luis Obispo, Finney's Crafthouse is definitely worth the visit. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in town.
