Fin Boys

Fantastic meal! i cycle past fin boys on my commute and it always looks packed. the tasting menu was amazing and the flight of wine a revelation (the chilled red with the turbot worked so well).

Delicious and interesting food, attentive but unpretentious service, special but informal atmosphere - something a bit different for cambridge. we did the flight of wine too - well matched to the food, and made the experience. thanks for a great evening.

This restaurant is a must for all seafood lovers; if you don’t go you’ll have lost out on a seafood adventure ! the flavours were extraordinary and each dish in the tasting menu was sensational . we shall be back !

Overpriced with hits and misses. tuna tataki. the first bite is a little fishy, but the rest is fine. not as sweet as expected for fresh fish but neutral. the spicy peanut butter compensates the lack of flavor. not too different from my poke bowl i’d say. portland white crab is alright. the crab itself is naturally sweet and fresh-tasting, but the marinated cucumber somehow overshadows the natural flavor of the crab. (my friend got a small piece of shell.) lemon sole is absolutely beautiful. very tender, nicely seasoned with lemony butter, which complements the fish well without overpowering it. the fish is large, but we didn’t get tired of eating— from 2-star to 3-star thanks to the lemon sole. the monkfish, however, is a little disappointing. it’s on the drier side and lacks flavor. perhaps the thicker fish works better with a sauce rather than dry rub. the seasoning of the veggies is a little too sweet. the sides and desserts do not look appealing (and the chef looked more disappointed than i was because i ordered “only” mains and starters). i would have appreciated more simple veggies/salads. the ones on the menu are too heavy to go with the fish. i did add sourdough to go with the meal. the seaweed butter is lovely. creamy with a touch of the sea. environment-wise, while i always enjoy watching the process of creating culinary art and smelling good food, ventilation is a problem. one cooker hood at the far end away from the stove isn’t enough. i expected more at this price level. maybe it wasn’t a good day, but a good establishment needs consistency, even with frequently changing menus. perhaps this one too ambitious for now :)
