   Tucked away in an alley, Finch's was a very nice surprise The restaurant itself is quiet and intimate. Service was attentive. The food overall was well priced and well prepared. I have a very picky husband who loved everything he ate. We plan on going back often. La Jolla is full of touristy expensive restaurants - Finch's truly is a neighborhood gem.

   At 8:15 on a Wednesday night, we were one of only two tables, so it was very quiet. The menu is small, but good. They advertised flights of wine on the chalkboard outside the restaurant, but they were not mentioned on the menu or wine list, so make sure to ask about that if you are interested.

   Dishes were not served at the same time. Menu on website does not match what is served in the restaurant. Chicken was very tough and inedible. Very poor experience.

   New ownership has not preserved the fine quality of the food. It was a great disappointment because this was our favorite restaurant two years ago.

   Our table was great with a pleasant atmosphere.A very romantic setting. Our waiter brought my wife's salad and entree together, forgetting mine all together. He offered to keep her food warm while she ate her salad but when he brought it back with my food hers was cold. What should have been a very nice birthday.dinner turned out to be a bad experience for us.

   Recommendations: Indulge with something off the captain's list! They're pouring with a Coravin and I got to try legendary wine Cardinale without having to buy a whole bottle! It's only 25$ for a 1 oz pour which we let sit for the meal and WOW. Also, the mussels are very tasty and the perfect sized appetizer to then jump to the salmon. Incredible preparation and the best lentils I've had!

   We went for dinner the entire family as we were on vacation in San Diego area. Service: the wine list is way overpriced. The wine server tried to rush us to decide and when he saw that we have not decided yet disappeared and never came back. The rest of the service was OK, although they did not change the cutlery between services. I ordered the fettucine Alfredo and the chicken was burnt and gave a horrible flavor to the entire dish. The salmon and the chicken was good though. We ran away and never gave a try to the desserts. We will never come back. Not worth it. Impossible to feed kids in this restaurant, btw.

   Always an excellent selection of wine from this place, and with the amazing cheese plate definitely the best choice to bring in 2016!
