About Fins Ale House and Raw Bar

Fins Ale House and Raw Bar offers an enjoyable dining experience with a lively bar atmosphere. The service is friendly, and the food is highly praised, especially the blackened fish tacos, tuna fish board, and the Chef's Special fresh fish dish. Customers can choose from a variety of toppings and sides, including mashed potatoes, risotto, and mango salsa. The restaurant features fresh seafood, with some reviews highlighting the amazing crab cakes made with straight crab meat and a great selection of local beers from Big Oyster Brewing. The atmosphere is casual yet energetic, making it a good spot for happy hour or a meal. Although the view isn’t a main attraction, the fresh seafood and friendly environment keep many visitors returning. The oyster bloody Mary vegetable infused vodka shot and delectable main courses contribute to a positive overall experience.

Recent reviews mention that although some tables were initially dirty, staff responded quickly, and the food quality made up for the inconvenience. There was a special on half-price fresh fish meals, and the crispy brussels topped with goat cheese, almonds, and balsamic drizzle were praised as delicious and generous in portion. Some guests enjoyed half a dozen oysters, and there was a wide choice of at least six different fish options, cooked to preference with a variety of sauces served on the side. One standout dish was the Grouper grilled with pineapple mango salsa, served with asparagus and parmesan risotto, which received high praise. Another dish, Rockfish broiled with the same salsa and sides, was also well-liked. The overall meal for two, including appetizers and drinks, was around $76, with attentive service from a delightful waitress. A seasonal drink called Dracula's Drip, served with vampire teeth, and a shared strawberry shortcake added a fun touch to the visit.

The fried shrimp dinner, with eight jumbo shrimp breaded to perfection, was complemented by homemade cinnamon applesauce and tasty garlic mashed potatoes. The two crab cakes were hearty, not stuffed with fillers, and served with tater tots and broccoli that was cooked just right. The restaurant also boasts a large selection of fresh oysters and brews their own beer. Seasonal drinks and food specials are regularly available, and everything looks appealing. Overall, the friendly and attentive service, especially from Jenny, makes it a favorite spot for locals, encouraging repeat visits.
