“We went to Finz on a Saturday afternoon. We were a party of 8, and being they don’t take reservations, we were lucky to find seats at the bar. The staff is so pleasant and helpful. The food here was absolutely delicious. It’s the best dining we had in Salem. The clam chowder soup was so delicious, the burgers were great, my friends had oysters and loved them, the lobster roll was delicious. There is an ample sushi menu and the sushi was great. Definitely try the squash wedge and beet and goat cheese salad. The restaurant is on the water, and it’s nice and spacious. The drinks were great as were the bartenders. Do not leave Salem without dining here!“
