About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Surrounded by windows overlooking the Salem Harbor, Finz offers guests lively waterfront scenery in a comfortable open concept interior. Of particular note is the 40 seat bar which flows from dining room to lounge, floor to ceiling nautical wall, hand painted lobster octopus mural, open style kitchen and built-in raw and sushi bars. In warmer months, the outdoor patio dining along the water is superb, with spots in the shade or the sun to enjoy a libation or light bites. With events centered around local arts, Finz is the place to experience Salem.

    Really great food, service and location. Crab cake appetizer was great followed by sesame tuna which was just wonderful. Husband loved his salmon dish. Honey cake was a perfect dessert. Just a fantastic meal.

    Easter Brunch was delicious with plenty of variety and quantity. Rine, our server, was very attentive to our table despite it being a busy day. The coffee was very good as well. A beautiful location on the water. This was our first time to Finz; we look forward to returning. Possible improvements: 1) The food could have been a bit hotter (temperature wise); 2) Street parking only was limited.

    we were seated on time with our reservation. Our server was Andrey, and he was great from start to finish. We never felt rushed, and he checked on us several times, to make sure everything was just right. Apps were the crab cake and the tuna melt dip. Both of them were very tasty, and would highly recommend. As for entrees, the crab stuffed haddock and the pesto swordfish with risotto were both incredible. To be honest there was no room for dessert, maybe next time. From start to finish a very enjoyable dinner.
