A Friendly place for Friendly people...As a Professional driver. I needed a place to unwind , have a great dinner and a couple of stouts ( I recommend the Russian Stout just perfect after driving 540 miles like myself ) with a steak dinner including a loaded potato and soup...Kind hearts and personalized family style Renaissance filled my heart ...It was what I was looking for...Family owned and operated...Go here to FINLEY'S BAR and GRILL for that cool down after traveling long and hard...Sincerely The SUPER HIGHWAY PHANTOM...

If you like your filet mignon with fat which I never heard of don't come here. This place is horrible. There was an extensive amount of fat on a filet and the sever didn't seem concerned.

Food was amazing the French dip was out of this world. The bread was so soft and meat so flavorful not to mention the ambiance

This restaurant makes you feel like you are at home somewhere in Europe. There is a beautiful, quaint garden in the back. Don’t let the outside entrance fool you.We had the filet mignon and it was tender and tasty. Our server Debra was attentive and went out of her way too ok help with our special occasion. So happy we could share our happy occasion with the staff and other customers. Definitely our go to place for a good steak.

We had a very large party and they were really not able to provide service for that many, although assured ahead of time they would. Highly priced and your owner/wait staff/ bartender was a bit cranky that night. Also after we were seated she then wanted us to move so it would accommodate them serving us easier. Also appeared as tax and tip were lumped together on our bills at 30%. And they only take cash.

This is a splendid charming restaurant with a great simple menu and comfortable ambience. The owners make you feel like family and pay close attention to any needs throughout the meal. I had the tomahawk steak special which was seasoned to perfection and extremely juicy. Highly
Best place to have a beers, and drinks with the fellas in the central valley. The Finley burger is a must try.

IF YOU DRINK, THEN GO! Fun atmosphere! Honestly, I should have known better than believe the reviews. We are in Central California- which says it all! Sadly, if you want great food? Or even decent food, Finley's is NOT your place. What a waste of $150.00. Took home all of the food then threw it away. A READERS CHOICE MANTECA BULLETIN? Really? The small, thin, 6oz? rib-eye @ $40 with a "loaded potato" and canned green beans was very disappointing and tasteless. No garlic as advertised and the choice not prime cut of meat was well done (asked for MR) over peppered and had a grey hue to it. Their Shrimp Scampi was just boiled shrimp swimming in watery butter "sauce". Again with a dry, tiny baker and canned green beans. When presented and you answer yes to a loaded potato you do not expect to be charged $3 extra for it. Or their morning brew of bitter coffee for $4 (no cream or 1/2 &1/2 to help the sludge) was undrinkable. The owner looked at our full plates when she was asked to pack it up and asked if something was wrong. Thinking where do I begin? Not worth my breath to begin to teach her how to run her establishment. Example: she used her fingers to squeeze the tip of my drink straw to try and figure out what that black spot was. She finally figured to just take the straw away, no less. on my flat, but supposedly carbonated drink. At the end of this uneaten meal I learned they only take cash. There is no signage about that, only taking cash and no info about the charges for the extra on the loaded potatoes. I really wish it had been a wonderful experience and I can only hope that the owner reads this review and takes these observations to heart and undergoes the changes needed (better quality and fresh food product, a chef that understands the art of cooking and better signage! We had come in early for dinner and was guided to a room with 3 tables We were told not to sit on the 4 top because there was a big party the night before and I guess she was hoping another would come in tonight and had to be ready. We were there for 2 hours and only another deuce came. No big party. She clearly is trying to get as much money out of her business (ATM next to my table with a $4 charge for the necessary cash needed) to pay for their bill.

I went back a couple days later and had a great dinner. I had a medium rare tomahawk steak, loaded baked potato and broccoli. It was all prepared very well. The steak was cooked just right. It was large enough for 2.5 meals for me. I even gnawed on the bone! The potato was very good, as were the veggies. My friend had the filet mignon. It was large, cooked to her liking and she said she it was very good. The restaurant was pretty quiet, only a couple of other tables, but it was a Thursday night, so it might have just been quiet. It allowed my friend and I to chat comfortable through dinner. We were inside looking out onto the patio, which was very cute. There was a homey, rustic victoriana feeling to the restaurant that carried out onto the patio and even into the restroom. The service was excellent. Debra served us and told us about the history of the property while she kept our glasses full and made sure we had everything we needed. My friend and I both said on the way home that we wished Debra had had more time to sit with us and talk. We both really liked her. I I'm looking forward to have a nice cozy dinner on the patio with more friends. I still would love to see their menu on their website, including the times the kitchen is serving. One caveat: THIS IS A CASH ONLY ESTABLISHMENT. However, they do have an ATM on site.
