Finz Seafood & Grill

We had a great experience dining on the wharf with my best friend today-- FINZ is great!!! We experienced a 25 minute wait for the restaurant, but it is completely justified. We were lucky to get seated outside on the waterfront, with great views of MA ships, and a side of Salem Suburbia! I love it. The food here was pretty good and the service was exceptional! We started off with their bread roll appetizers for $2- a really great addition to the table. Well worth the price. For drinks ordered cokes with lemon, standard. For the main courses we went for the BBLT and Angus burger-- both great options for seafood alternatives. The BBLT on naan was excellent, chock full of bacon. The burger was average, but still pretty good, though a bit over cooked. The steak fries were excellent, best thing on the table. I heard they do their seafood even better. Definitely a great option for food on the wharf-- check it out!

Decent waterfront restaurant in the Derby Wharf area of Salem. Finz offers indoor and patio seating is a short walk from the downtown area. We enjoyed the fresh cool air of the patio seating, view from the patio, and the maritime theme of the restaurant! Prices were higher than some other places in Salem. Service was great! Our server, Jennifer P, took excellent care of us!For food, we tried the clam chowder ($18)- rich and hearty flavor, served hot. Would rate 4/5: Recommend! There was some cheese looking residue stuck on the outside of the bowl, but it happens. Just caution the restaurant to make sure serve water is clean. We also tried the lobster roll ($38). 3.5/5. I order the chilled mayo lobster roll. The roll came with a good quantity of lobster meat but it was impossible to eat as a sandwich based on the small size of the bread. Some people may love it that way but it wasn't my preference. The roll was good but not great. The sauce lacked any wow factor to bring it all together and some pieces of shell/inedible parts were still on the meat. The coleslaw and chips with the roll were great!Lastly, we tried the Baja tacos with local fish, which was haddock ($19) 2/5. This dish was the most disappointing as the tacos were dry and largely flavorless. The fried fish was nice and crunchy but tortilla and accompanied ingredients and crème fraiche didn't complement each other. Maybe substituting chopped cabbage in place of the shredded lettuce and using a spicer or more flavorful sauce would help.

This is my first trip to Boston. The seafood at Finz does not disappoint!! There's a small fee for delicious, hot rolls. My husband got the salmon and I picked the crab stuffed haddock. Just phenomenal! The green beans were perfectly cooked- hot and crisp. I'm not sure what all was in the crab filling; it was savory but not spicy. Very flavorful without being heavy. And the haddock was flaky and delicious. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful. We sat outside and got to watch the sun light up the the boats in the harbor. They have an enclosed outdoor area and an open air, covered outdoor area. I can imagine this would be a special date night place if we were locals.

We had lunch here while in Salem yesterday. I will start by saying the two women I was with had fish and chips and the other a squash salad and enjoyed their meals. The service from our waitress was very slow but she was friendly. Picking up the pace I would suggest. I asked for ketchup and Cole slaw and waited as I watched our waitress get drinks for another table. Finally someone else brought it to me. I ordered baked haddock with steamed vegtables. When I went to cut into the fish it was like rubber. It appeared it had been frozen and then microwaved. The waitress offered me something else but I decided no . I would suggest a seafood restaurant on Pickering wharf actually use fresh seafood and actually bake it. Sending out fish that can't be cut leaves a bad lasting impression

Close to the water front. Quick seating no reservation required on a Thursday evening. Quick service as well. The waiter was super friendly and very knowledgable of the menu and recommended what i ordered. Quiet next to the marine. Indoor and out door seats available.

Here's the challenge with places that are hyped up - you automatically go into them thinking you're going to have a fantastic meal. Then unfortunately, when you don't, it's a bigger let down. Absolutely lovely location but overall, the chowder and the fish n chips were quite bland. I certainly expected more

Our waiter Andre was good even though it seemed he had several tables to manage the night we were there. We were there in early October and even though it was during the week we did have a large group. The food was good though we didn't receive everything we ordered. I know there were a lot of tables however it would be great to still to get a server who spent a little time with the table. Overall the service was good and the group enjoyed their food we did receive! During the time we visited it is hard to truly evaluate since there are so many more people onsite compared to normal service.

Hot lobster roll with butter was delicious, loved the fries and coleslaw too! Loved the outdoor seating, and their bar area is also nice! I had the seasonal raspberry lemonade sangria and it was good, but the meal was better!

Beautiful views, a round building to make the most of the scenery: seating ratio which is appreciated. Interesting drink menu options - comparable to a major city options and prices. Dinner consisted of pasta and seafood. Seafood was good, past was just ok - flavors and seasoning were just ok for me. Decent service no serious complaints.

I originally made reservations for a weekend in October, since I knew Salem would be busy. However, I accidentally made the reservation for 2 instead of 3. I was unable to change my reservation online since they had run out of reservations slots. I called the restaurant and they accommodated my party change so easily. The day of our reservation, I realized we were going to want to eat dinner earlier than expected. Once again, I called the restaurant and they accommodated me again! On top of the amazing service, the food was delicious. The PSL espresso martini was to die for. Overall, 5/5!
