Food was delicious! Everything we ordered was very tasty. The one issue was that the bar closed before we were offered dessert so we could not order after dinner drinks.

The staff was incredibly kind and attentive. My salmon as excellent. Would certainly recommend.

Food was very bland. I got the prime rib au jus. The horseraddish sauce was unbearable and the meat was poorly cooked. bread was not tasty, especially for the price. Should have gotten chick fil a or houston's. The bean and sweet potato tacos were cooked poorly. sweet potatoes were raw. Not tasty at all. Wouldn't come back, overpriced. Nobody was there when I went, I can understand why.

I love The Goldfinch! Appetizers are delicious- my favorite is the roasted bone marrow. Cocktails are delicious. Ambiance is nice bc after hours is mellow and you can easily get a seat at the bar. Bar is very friendly. Only downfall is paying for parking. Even with a validation we were charged for 3 hours.

Amazing brunch spot! The lobster enchiladas and the vanilla bean french toast were phenomenal. Our brunch group rarely visits the same place twice but The Goldfinch will definitely be seeing more of us. Beautiful restaurant, easy parking and outstanding service!!

Great food and the bottomless mimosas were amazing ! I asked for jelly to go with my toast and they made a berry spread for us with real fruit !

I had noted in the reservations that it was our anniversary dinner. Upon arrival, the host still asked if we were celebrating anything special. I mentioned it again. There was nothing the restaurant made an effort on to make us feel special while dining, even if it was a simple Happy Anniversary from our waiter. We also thought the food and drinks were just ok. It was our first and definitely last time that we'll be dining here. Certainly not worth the value, unfortunately.

The ambiance was nice. A good place to have drinks and appetizers. Modern and clean aesthetic. We visited on Father's Day (with reservation) and it did not seem to be busy on the dining floor. Yet our interaction with our server and staff was overall friendly but minimal. They seemed rush somehow. Drink menu had a good variety options. The old fashioned and ube drinks we ordered were good and had good presentations. We ordered 2 appetizers and unfortunate never received them. The temperature of our steaks were not as ordered. What was to be medium came out rare and medium rare came as medium. And, it was not easy to flag anyone down to ask so, we didn't bother ask that our steaks be cooked further. My wagyu was small (as expected) and was comparable to the quality of a filet mignon. Far from the cost and quality of a wagyu steak. I was disappointed. I would say my family and I would consider coming back for drinks and to try appetizers. Overall rating for us would be 7/10 for overall experience. Not sure if we would come back for a full meal.

The only thing we didn't enjoy was the intensity of the fire pit. Our table backed into it and if it were cool/cold it would've been nice but it was sweltering hot so we were on fire. Other than that l, it was a lovely spot and the food was delicious.
