Fin Seafood

I love revisiting a fine dining restaurant that I love, and it only gets better with time!I dined at Fin last night for Restaurant Week. It was not a disappointment!I started off with a cocktail: Triple-Berry Lemon Drop. Very tasty! Not overpowering either vodka and lots of berry flavor. For Restaurant Week, it includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert. My app was She Crab Soup. The broth was so creamy and filling. It was also full of lump crab cake which was amazing. My entree was Scallops and I added on a crab cake for $9! No regrets! The scallops were cooked perfectly over a seasoned bed of rice. The crab cake was perfect. The amount of filler was not overbearing and it was broiled just right. For dessert: I had chocolate cake with mint ice cream. The cake was SO rich in flavor I had to take some home. But it paired perfectly with the subtle mint ice cream. My friend also enjoyed their firecracker shrimp (too spicy for me) and beef tenderloin (prepared medium rare).5 STARS! Service was great. Gratuity was included, but it was well earned. The food was stellar! I'm so glad that Fin is still a staple in Newport News for fine dining.

I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. It was nice and quiet. Everyone was so kind. Our waiter was great. Very attentive. I had gotten the firecracker shrimp, wagyu tenderloin, and my husband got a wagyu as well.. I just want to note that their sweet potatos were SO good, but don't feel it's a good side with steak. It made our steak sweet and it was a taste we were interested in...however it was still delicious. Will come again.

Was told this was an upscale restaurant, not sure I'd agree, but they are trying to be.Good drink prices, my Martini was standard and hit the spot.Loved the she crab soup, I got the large which wasn't too big. Lots of crab chunks.Got the crab cake with a side of scallops. The crab cake was not the best I've had, but did look amazing. Kinda want to say it lacked flavor? Overall an expensive bill for what I felt like regular food.

Fin Seafood on William Tyron Square, Newport News, VA, was the restaurant chosen to hold the Celebration of Life for my brother-in-law who passed away suddenly last month. We arranged to use their back dining room for his family, friends and colleagues, who spoke eloquently from the heart about how much Bill meant to each of them as husband, father, step father, friend, university colleague, mentor and neighbor. Fin's small catering was flawless. We didn't need much for the two hour fete. A few bottles of good wine and an open bar; fresh crab cake sliders without filler, shrimp in spicy mayo on a spoon, and a wooden tray with assortment of charcuterie. All perfectly prepared as soft background complements to our solemn occasion. We will no doubt return to Fin Seafood on a more joyous occasion when we can relax and laugh over more mellow remembrances of life. Still, we will always appreciate how they handled this most meaningful day for us.

A great little seafood spot - quality food served at affordable prices. I had lunch here and opted for the tasting menu. Staff was busy but kind and attentive when available. Food was flavorful and filling. I would definitely revisit this establishment.

Food - 3.7 Service - 4.5 Ambiance - 3.5I hesitate to give a three because i have loved this place in the past. I'd say my overall review is a 3.5. First, when I got there the room/carpet/chairs smelled mildewy. And the velvet chairs were kind of moist. It wasn't a good start. It is a semi-nice restaurant with good parking, a little eclectic in nature, smallish but is always able to fit a large group. Second, and most importantly, the food was just okay this time. I ordered the exact same thing I have gotten before (the scallops and risotto), and while the scallops and risotto were cooked well and it tasted good, I didn't like the mushrooms in it (it was a really weird, watery texture, and I really love mushrooms normally, i got crabmeat on top of the scallops and I couldn't distinguish between the musroom and crab meat well), and the dish was overall a little too salty,. the Bibb lettuce salad was fine, but was definitely a little overdressed. And I tried other the octopus appetizer and it would have been great but the octopus was a little too hard for me (a tad overcooked perhaps), and again a little too salty. The oysters were good, but I found it odd the vinegar was in the oyster already, and no cocktail sauce accompanying the dish. The drinks are VERY reasonably priced in my opinion, about $12 per cocktail (versus most places that charge $15+ for the same drinks). The only reason I would go is that there are very few nicer restaurants in Newport, and I would just make sure to order something different, and hope that the mildewy/moist smell is not there next time.

We had an excellent date night on a Saturday evening. We didn't have a reservation so we sat in the high top bar tables. Our server was excellent, she checked in often and was knowledgeable about the menus.Good drink menu with craft cocktails, beer and wine. I enjoyed the strawberry lemon drop. My fiancé had the churro old fashion (made with tequila) and the milk punch. He loved both.We enjoyed the tuna tartare for an appetizer. It's unique with the siracha ice cream. I'm not a huge seafood person but it was flavorful.For dinner, I had beef tenderloin. It was the absolute best! My fiancé had salmon. We were very full from the big portions so we did not have dessert.

What a great restaurant! Excellent food, service and atmosphere. We went for lunch and had a great experience. The she crab soup was outstanding and the fish sandwich ranks as one of the best. This is a highly recommend.

Four of us went to this restaurant, due to the reviews on Yelp. We were not disappointed. The ambience is lovely and very welcoming. We were meant by Katie, who was both friendly and informative. She made sure during the entire evening that we were well taken care of.Our orders included the octopus crabcake, shrimp and grits, and Caesar salad with shrimp. But we started off with their pumpkin purée soup, sweet corn chowder, and she crab soup. All delicious. My husband loves his martinis and my daughter and I enjoyed the German Riesling which was available. A most enjoyable evening !

We had a Galentines Dinner last night and there wasn't a single complaint from 11 women. The food was delicious, the service was amazing and everyone was so kind and accommodating. Katie was our server and she was knowledgeable and also knew which gluten free options were the best. Thank you for hosting our little event. Can't wait to come back!
