The Goldfinch

I've been dying to try Goldfinch! Every time I drive by, I'm obsessed with how the bar looks--it just gives off such a cool and inviting vibe. Today, my boyfriend and I finally went, and we were not disappointed!We started off with mimosas, and they were delicious. I have to come back for the bottomless mimosas because they're not only amazing but also pretty affordable for bottomless. We stuck to just one this time, but next time, it's game on.For food, I got the steak plate with chimichurri, arugula, and fries--and wow, it was so good! The flavors balanced perfectly, and the steak was cooked just right. I also got ranch on the side for my fries, and let me tell you--it was top-tier ranch. Would 100% order this again. My boyfriend got the chilaquiles, and he loved them.Overall, we had a fantastic experience. The service was great, the vibes and decor were amazing, and I can already tell I'm going to be coming here a lot more often. Can't wait to try more dishes--and next time, I'm definitely getting dessert!

Came here on a weekday lunch with a friend and while I've heard this place can get quite busy during lunch, we arrived around opening time so it was very mellow. Quick note, there is parking validation but it only covers 90 minutes so you'll have to cover any additional time.My friend and I shared the Roasted Bone Marrow and each ordered an entree, which I got the Atlantic Salmon.Roasted Bone Marrow | $26 | fresh herb salad & toasted baguette - This was perfect for two people to share. The bone marrow was a good amount for the price and what surprised us both was the fresh herb salad. It was super tangy and refreshing, which helped balance the decadence of the bone marrow.Atlantic Salmon | $36 | grilled broccolini, asparagus & garlic butter - The salmon was cooked perfectly with the crisp top and tender middle. The garlic butter was a nice touch. Also, appreciate that they offer two types of vegetables on the side.The ambiance was modern and very comfortable. We got a booth seat, which was great for conversation. We did notice the lunch crowd pick up around noon so if you are looking for a quieter vibe, highly recommend visiting early.Our server was very kind and attentive and the staff in general are all very efficient. All in all, it was a good first time experience eating here. The only gripe both my friend and I had was with parking. Most places in that plaza offer 2 hr parking validation and it's not even about the couple extra dollars spent on parking, but rather the hassle of juggling your credit card at the parking exit.

Stop by the host stand to get your parking ticket validated! The ambiance is undeniably upscale, and the patio is simply stunning - a tranquil oasis despite its location on a busy street corner. You'll be amazed at how effectively the restaurant creates a peaceful escape, allowing you to fully savor the delicious food and impeccable service.The service was generally friendly, but it felt a little spotty, with our server frequently being unavailable. We managed to get by, but the delays created some slight inefficiencies. Requiring multiple requests for items like my pancakes. There were also some small issues, such as a temporary shortage of peach juice, and my friend needing to get a busser for a wine glass. I ordered the Brussels sprouts, which were good but could have used a bit more flavor. They had a dry taste and texture, but I think a drizzle of extra glaze would have helped bring out their natural sweetness and made them more enjoyable to eat.The prime rib was cooked perfectly to medium-rare, just as I'd hoped, and it arrived at the table that way. The meal also came with some fantastic sides that complemented the prime rib beautifully. The home fries were cooked to perfection - incredibly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. And the sunny-side-up egg was a delightful addition, especially with their steak sauce that added a rich and savory flavor. But what really took the dish to the next level was the unexpected horseradish sauce, which added a nice kick and a depth of flavor that I didn't anticipate. The combination of the prime rib, home fries, egg, and sauces was surprisingly good and really worked well together.To top it all off, I also ordered a cinnamon pancake, which was the perfect finishing touch to the meal. The pancake was fluffy and flavorful, and the extra little taste of cinnamon was so good that it elevated the entire dish. I didn't need anything else to make the meal complete - it was satisfying and delicious just the way it was. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food. WHY THE ONE STAR...?My entire meal felt like it had come straight from the refrigerator. Eating a cold, runny egg is an absolutely awful experience, and that's exactly what I was faced with. The only warmth on the plate was the warm steak sauce - which, admittedly, did offer a small degree of comfort.Considering the long wait and the fact that my friend's meal was prepared before mine, I suspect my meal may have been sitting in the kitchen for quite some time. It was almost 12:30 PM, and we'd already been there for an hour. I was hungry and frankly, just wanted to eat. The steak sauce, sadly, was the only thing that provided a modicum of enjoyment to the meal.I don't know if I'd go back. It was a very awkward experience. The food was delicious but cold!

I like this place. We had a work dinner for about 6 people. The wait staff was helpful and the food was good. Our party spent about an hour and half and were consistently served. The setting is nice and casual enough while formal enough to be a good date night. The appetizers were good and shareable. We ordered every app I think. Nothing bad to say.

This place was absolutely amazing. We came to celebrate the new year and my husband's birthday. It was our first time here we ordered the omelette substituted the bacon for mushroom and spinach, which was amazing. Then we ordered the chicken and cinnamon pancakes roll, which was out of this world.The service was great. The ambience was perfect. The food was delicious. We will definitely be coming back for more with family and friends. .

Tried Goldfinch on a Sunday. The food quality was great. We started with the shrimp, lobster, and melon salad. It was so light and a refreshing. I regret sharing it. For my meal I ordered the prime rib. The portion was huge! I loved the horseradish cream and the au jus served on the side. I think we dined between shift change because the bartender took care of us. I didn't mind but he did seem to be the only person working and he was running around. May try this place at a different time of day to see if the service is better.

I feel like this place is underrated. It has a really nice ambiance and their food is so good. I tried the atlantic salmon, lobster roll, grilled salmon sandwich, braised short rib and sunburst tomato pasta. As for starters I tried the beet salad and calamari, and got the raspberry chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was really good - my only comment is I would've liked more meat in the lobster roll. Flavor wise it was good, but the last part of the bread was empty and I feel like they skimped on the amount of fish. Not taking out a star for this because everything else was great but giving people a heads-up so they don't get disappointed like I did. Our server Gigi was great too! Overall definitely recommend this place.

Great atmosphere, impeccable service, delicious drinks and food. I really enjoyed the muscles and the lobster roll and Paloma

Saw this place on Instagram and TikTok so I wanted to try it out. On social media this restaurant appears a lot larger and nicer. I assume if you go at night the lighting will change the vibe but lunch is very casual. You have to park in the structure next to the multiple restaurants and they will validate your ticket for you. Ordered: - beet salad (7/10)- Brussels sprouts (8/10)- fish tacos (8/10)- short ribs (6/10)The beet salad was as good as it gets and I mean that in a plain way. It's nothing amazing or extravagant. Short ribs were in the drier side which I didn't care for. Fish tacos and sprouts were pretty good!Service was good and drinks were good so nothing to complain there. You can have business lunches here which I noticed was very common

I'm not typically a fancy food type of guy, so places like this are usually off my radar. But my friend wanted to surprise me with a dinner place, so there I was!PARKING:There's a parking structure where you can park - be sure to validate! It was free for us, but I'm seeing other reviewers say they still had to pay so I guess it only covers a portion of it. But for a quick dinner, we made it out in time.WHAT I ORDERED:Brussels sproutsKnife & fork burgerPicanhaTHE FOOD: Brussels are a MUST! From the first bite, we knew this was going to be a good dining experience. The glaze and bacon made it so addicting. Though I do have to say the brussels here are a little bit more well done than some other places, so if you don't like crispy and some burnt parts, it might be a pass. The knife and fork burger was delicious - the toppings made the burger so luxurious, and the onions were very unique. The picanha was nice and tender, and I can totally see myself ordering that again. Fries were pretty standard, nothing unique, but solid.SERVICE:Our server was SUPER attentive and friendly, and food came out quick. He was more than willing to help us choose what to order - perfect for us undecisive folks.VIBES:Definitely fancy and I would dress up at least a little, but it was still comfy enough for me to walk in with my Crocs on. I can imagine coming back here for a birthday dinner or a date night for sure.BOTTOM LINE:Honestly, I wouldn't say this place blew my mind, but pretty solid dinner spot!
