I'd been waiting almost a year to return, since I went for my my last birthday, and I was not disappointed. The beet salad, Arctic char, and shared lemon custard and chocolate cake were all impeccable. It was crowded and quite loud (a Saturday night -- last time I was there was on a Wednesday) -- and we had a revolving door of servers but all were warm and hospitable. So glad to have The Finch in my neighborhood!
Everything from the space to the service to the food was really super.
Cocktails and wine list was eclectic with fun options.
Bread course is a must and I don't even like bread all that much. Wild mushroom crostini also. Squid ink house made pasta with seafood was outstanding.
Wonderful, inventive menu, cooked to perfection, and excellent, well informed staff . We will certainly return!
Always impeccably prepared and presented by top flight servers
Generous portions, generous vibe. Great place with lovely personality and warmth.
Excellent food and service. Liked the interior with open kitchen. Definitely recommendation if you are looking for a great dinner place.
The best! The Finch gets all the stars. The best scrambled eggs of my entire life. The wine is a revelation.
A welcome addition to Brooklyn and NYC at large. We should all be so lucky to have a place with as much creativity and character as The Finch in the neighborhood we call home. As someone who dines out often, regularly and seeks out the highest quality experiences, this checks off all the boxes.
All I can say is, wow-- this is one of the better dining experiences of my life.
I adore everything about this restaurant. My husband and I salivate when we talk about the meal we ate there.
Amazing service, incredible food! They made our anniversary very special!
Gabe's balance of flavors, deft hand with spice and seasonings and a wonderful bias for sustainable ingredients makes The Finch a winner for years to come. Staff are knowledgeable and very proactive. Great evening!!!
Gabe is the (Mc) Mack (in) and the food is on the higher.
Food and service was excellent. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a dining experience...
What a great experience! The place is located in the heart of Clinton Hill in a charming brownstone and designed beautifully. The food was delicious! The arnchini and Japanese yams were great. The chard lasagna and duck breast are highly recommend. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The Finch is one of the best restaurants discovery we had in a very long time. This Michelin star restaurant is just sublime, very cute and nice interior, with open kitchen in the middle of the restaurant, very attentive staff and food was just perfect. We went for the tasting menu with wine pairing and it was just an explosion of different flavors and very well presented dishes. We loved every single dish and the choice of wine that came with. Please please go and try it yourself, you'll have a great culinary experience. Thanks to all the staff for making our experience just perfect!!!!
My wife brought me here for my 30th and it was nothing but fantastic. We sat at the bar where Noah the bartender ran us through the wine list and menu expertly. The food was incredible. The steak is deliciously tender and tasty but the winner for us was the kale salad, it was ridiculously fresh. The carrot cake is also a must have. Go here if you're in the area!

Nice atmosphere with an opened kitchen in the middle.
The guys were very attentive and the food was really good. The menu it’s quite short, composed by simple dishes made out of top quality ingredients.
We were 2 people and had a couple of entries, two mains and a dessert for sharing. We drink water and pay about 115$ + Tip.
Recomendable!
Great dinner, quality ingredients & atmosphere.
My girlfriend and I are passionate about food and we decided to try this Michelin rated restaurant.
We got a table in the second room, where it was a bit like being at home because of the brownstone look and brick exposed walls.
The ”Bread & Housemade Butter with Nuts & Seeds” and the ”Lemon & Parmesan Arancini with Castelvetrano Olive” were a phenomenal start. They gave us a good shot of flavors, and it was like to rediscover that type of food that you know well, but you now see it from a new perspective.
But it was when we had the delicate Branzino and the tasty Swiss Chard Lasagna, that we really enjoyed our dinner. Olive Oil Cake with Mascarpone and we were happy and ready to go back home.
....service was attentive, warm and they knew when to step in.
Delicious. Went in for a late Sunday brunch around 2pm and had fantastic experience. Made a reservation, but didn't need to. Started with biscuits and butter and split the fried chicken sandwich and the pork belly everything was fantastic. The staff was very attentive but not hovering. Perfect meal for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Truly spectacular, delicious food and excellent cocktails. My date and I shared the duck and the tagliatelle. Both were a delight on the taste buds. My bourbon cocktail was perfectly balanced and my date enjoyed an orange wine from Spain that was complex and delicious. Lots of regional beverage options here. Service was highly efficient and they placed a different set of silverware based on what we were going to eat. Looking forward to coming back and trying some of the other delectable items!
Food, drinks and service was excellent, highlights were the zucchini carpaccio and the maitake toast. One minor negative was that they had 4 cheese choices at $12 each, but one order was a tiny piece of cheese (effectively two small bites) with lots of bread and strawberries and jam on the sides. These cheese quantity should have at least been double for the price and would suggest offering a cheese plate.
Complex flavors, surprising delights, exotic wines. Frankly, the most wonderful meal I've had in a long time. The founder and chef, Gabe is a creative genius. This in my new favorite in Brooklyn.
Really great hangout place + good ambience. Very affordable for a 1-Michelin star New York restaurant. I went with my friend who ate in The French Laundry and she said food is better here.
Amazing food, and if you go early, you can sit at the kitchen counter to watch the food bring prepared.
Took my girlfriend and her family here for her 30th birthday dinner. It was delicious and the service was top tier. Amazing spot
We went here for our anniversary. The food is good, the service is better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for special occasions. We were please with the service.
The staff members are extremely attentive, and the atmosphere is cozy and small. I'm not a vegan, but the royal trumpet mushrooms are absolutely delicious and filling! Cocktails and desserts were also great. I will be coming here with my family again!
It was our 1st Michelin experience. Food is delicious, just right amount of everything. Reminded me of myself working in kitchen and making similar dishes. We left with the right feeling of proper dinner. Wine is on top... I mean really good wine list. Service was attentive and not overwhelming. Overall great experience and willing to try it at another season.
I had been dying to go to The Finch, it was high on my list to visit.
I was able to get a reservation for a Thursday evening quite easily, and I think most small parties could be seated rather quickly if they showed up around 7-8pm. The server who helped us select a bottle of wine was very friendly and helpful in narrowing down the bottles we might be interested in and offered a few choices across price ranges. They checked with the table regarding allergies or any food specifications and were careful to make sure all the dishes that came out later in the evening were safe for everyone. The food was exceptional, though I found that I enjoyed the appetizers and dessert more than the entrees. The roasted cauliflower was incredible and the Japanese yams were also very good. The swiss chard lasagna had an interesting sweetness to it and was a unique taste on traditional lasagna. The shortcake dessert was delicious. Overall, wonderful food and service!
It's pretty much the best. Great people, great service and of course great food
One of the best chef tasting I've had. The owner/head Chef was personable and passionate about his craft.
