Great atmosphere, excellent quality of food, friendly staff

Overall it’s a decent Italian spot. They’ve gotten incredibly cheap considering they say they’re “high end”. Charging extra for a side of ranch, charging for tap soda water and incredibly stingy with the fries (I counted 6) with their lunch specials.

All of that said, the service is always top notch, especially Kristi!

The food was delicious. The restaurant was packed but it was a nice to dine out at a new place. I had great company at dinner, which made the experience amazing.

Finbar’s Italian in Seal Beach is a hidden gem in OC that nails classic Italian food. The chicken parm boasts a perfectly crisp crust, tender meat and tangy marinara you’ll fight over, and the fettuccine Alfredo is rich, silky and so good it’ll become your new happy place.

We hosted our daughter's 7th birthday at Let's Go Paint last weekend (next to Finbars). We coordinated lunch for our party guests with Jim about a week before, and made some changes to the order about two days before. Jim had excellent customer service and the food was a big hit with our party guests! We ordered pizzas and salads - They even brought the food to the party at Let's Go Paint, which was above and beyond! Thank you Jim and Finbars!
