A glorious fever dream! Tapas galore! No full bar? Who cares? Four flavors of Sangria (red, white,…read moreblue w/Curaçao, passionfruit- naturally delicious!) and wine. With a google same day reservation, I rolled in with my little family of four and my mother-in-law. Gabriella, the chef's wife, treated us like family and every dish tasted like a hug. Highlights were the zesty Peruvian Ceviche (save bread for the sauce), tasty Steak Yucca Fries, and Berenjena con Miel - eggplant drizzled with honey and goat cheese. The Calamari was crispy and delicious even without the tentacles. Dessert was a victory lap with a smooth and creamy Flan, perfectly crunchy Churros, and Lemon Sorbet that looked like Olaf doing hot yoga. Then came free homemade limoncello to end the meal. It was bright, balanced, and dangerously good! We waddled out with joy! NOTES/TIPS: **Great solo, dates, friends, family. **Huge menu w/several vegetarian options and kids menu. **Wine and sangria available. **Gendered restrooms. Wheelchair-accessible. Indoor/outdoor seating. Warm modern vibes. **For 3 adults and 2 kids with their spaghetti and meatballs, 7 small plates left us very full. **Street parking if you're lucky, parking decks nearby. **Reservations recommended.

Service was top-notch, folks came back to help us pack up extras and also check on us multiple times. Stopped in on a hot day, tried a bunch: Pitcher of white sangria was a lovely cool sip, just about right for four of us per pitcher. Tapas/apps: - Special baked oyster fondue was only ok (reminded me of Oyster Rockefeller but not as flavorful and the cheese was mostly on the plate, not on the oyster); they had 3 on the plate and they noticed and had them make up a 4th for the 4th person at the table. Great service for that notice and sending a fourth one out - good touch. - Papas bravos was a good fingerling potato in a creme - Grilled octopus was ok - Peruvian ceviche was a touch too sour for me, but others liked it - had another potato dish but wasn't sure what it was called; just ok Mains, also shared: - Short ribs rigatoni was good, but not as good as the one at Ferraro's that I had earlier in the month - Seafood paella - not sure if this is a regional difference, but I'm used to having the crispy rice along the outside of the pan, crunch and savory -- the inside rice and shrimp, sausage and clams were ok, but missing the texture expected of a hot pan of paella rice, so left feeling like I missed out of something Dessert - churros were solid, with dulce de leche - lava cake was ok, not much melting (more like a little chocolate melted in the center but not enough to ooze out), but the chocolate cake was good, and the vanilla ice cream to the top always a good touch - they had a special fruit mix in a pastry shell - good fruit mix and the ice cream below was good - pastry was just ok, maybe needed something more like a napoleon's layers instead of being like a fried skin which ended up being a bit stuck in the teeth Overall great service, a mix of dishes that sometimes hit the mark and others missed, but will come here to try some other dishes that people at the table next to us ordered - the steak looked good, as did the fish!

At the end when we was ready to leave, he made sure that I got to eat my delicious cheesecake that was apart of my meal.

Hungry Vegetarian Here…read more I came here for a group outing and found: Lots of drinks and food options Place is known for steaks and vegetarians take note Unlike other steak houses I have been, the chef was not able to accomodate a special dish for a vegetarian so I can to craft a meal from sides and salads I saw someone have a drink that was smoked and smelled very good Service was decent and overworked as it was a busy night Place is very spacious and I saw it had space for private dinners

We had reservations for 5:30 but we were early and decided to grab a drink at the bar , we were greeted by Shawna the bartender . What a pleasant and friendly person . I could sit at that bar for ours simply because of her services . Once we sat at our table we met our server Oberon ( hope I spelled that right ) what a pleasant person , very helpful and efficient . We had a little discrepancy with the appetizer and that was immediately addressed by Janine , who was extremely helpful . The ambiance in the place is AMAZING !!! We ordered chicken park and pappardelle as main dish and I must give my complements to the chef . The food was exceptionally good . I felt like the servers are attentive and always checking if you need anything . They also have parking and the bathrooms are extremely clean . Will definitely go back as I have now saved this place on my favorites list . Great big thanks to all the amazing people mentioned above for their outstanding service . See you again soon :)

While this very local -very casual place was very busy and packed inside...( I forgot to post when we came a while ago. ) They accommodated us with a table which they called the " upstairs area". While the service was attentive and very good the food was ok. We had salads, apps, onion dip, eggplant parmesan, and a chicken dish. They had hot bread on the table as well. It was ok- so idk if i'd be rushing back so fast again.

Food- I went here with a group of 7. It was my second time and the appetizers were good. I love…read morethe garlic shrimp, fried pickles and chicken dumplings. Now for entree, I chose the flounder daily special. I got it go and it was bland and a very small portion considering what my friends who ordered the same meal to stay received. Booooooooo to the small take home portion size that many restaurants do because you can't tell what they give you until you get home. (Do better!) Drinks-ehhhh! So our evening started off bad when my lychee was missing from my pear lychee martini (with tequila instead of vodka drink. The server bought me one in a cup but it was slimy and smelled like it was spoiled. Needless to say I didn't want any lychee's after that. The server tried to convince me, a lychee connoisseur that there was nothing wrong with it. After the rest of my party who had the same drink noticed it was spoiled, we all requested a new drink. The server had an attitude and was clearly bothered. After asking for the manager, she came back and brought us fresh drinks and a cup full of fresh lychees. But it was such a task to get the drinks straight. My remade drink came back incorrect and I decided to go over to the bar and who was messing up our drinks and who was putting a damper on what should have started out to be an amazing night. He asked what was wrong, I told him and he made me a new one (3rd times a charm I guess). Service 3/10 The young lady that served us had an attitude the moment I told her about the rotten lychees. It was downhill after that. This establishment needs to take some of the money from the overpriced meals and train their staff! I could go on but don't feel like it. Ambience 7/10 it was okay. The live entertainment for the night, Eric G made our night. His voice was amazing and he sang all the old school songs I grew up on. He definitely made the night what it was. IF and I mean if I go back, I will sit at the bar to watch them make my drinks and I will only order the apps I like. The 3 stars is ONLY because of entertainment or else I would have given 2 stars.

We came to Fin Raw Bar & Kitchen for what we hoped would be a special, romantic date night. While…read morethe seafood was fresh and nicely presented, the overall experience fell short for us -- especially considering the price point. For a BYOB, our bill came to just under $160 for two entrées, one appetizer, and a dozen oysters. The oysters were $42/dozen, my scallop crab corn salsa special was $47, and the swordfish was $39 -- all of which felt more like fine dining NYC prices than suburban BYOB rates. What really impacted our night, though, was how rushed we felt. From start to finish, our dinner lasted just about an hour. Plates were cleared quickly, the next course arrived almost immediately, and it didn't feel like there was room to linger or enjoy a slower-paced evening together. This was surprising because the restaurant wasn't even full. We left feeling like we had paid for a premium, leisurely dining experience but instead got an expensive, hurried meal. Unfortunately, it just didn't deliver the atmosphere or value we were hoping for.

The…read moreservice is always friendly and I am impressed by all the specials that the wait staff can memorize! The appetizers are shareable between 3 to 4 people. The burrata is always a favorite as well as the friend calamari. I usually go with the chicken parmesan meal. It's served on a bed of large pasta. It's a huge piece of chicken so come with an appetite or a take home portion. All our plates were polished off, showing off the excellent taste of all the different dishes. There is street parking and it is BYOB. The wait staff did come around often to make sure the glasses were full. My friends raved about the creme brule and the tiramasu was also great.

Everyone greets you with a smile, and there's a warmth to the hospitality that makes you feel less like a customer and more like family. This past Friday night, I had one of the best dinners and overall dining experiences I've had in a very long time. Mentor has done an outstanding job creating something truly special here. The service, food, wine, atmosphere, and hospitality all come together seamlessly. The ambiance is cozy, intimate, and full of energy. The dining room always seems to be buzzing, and you immediately understand why. The cocktails are always a hit, but the wines... oh, the wines! There are some incredible bottles to discover, along with an excellent selection by the glass. If you appreciate wine, this is definitely a place where you can have some fun exploring. Every dish that hit our table was spectacular. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared, from the pasta to the entrées and all the little details in between. There wasn't a single miss the entire evening. And now I apparently need to come back for the "Happy Meal" . As someone who works in the hospitality industry, experiences like this mean a little more to me. When you dine somewhere where the food hits, the drinks hit, the service hits, and the hospitality feels genuine, it reminds you exactly why you fell in love with this industry in the first place. Thank you, Mentor, and thank you to the entire Fiorino team for an unforgettable night. I can't wait to come back. -- Jeffrey Umaña @jeffrey.umana
