We absolutely love this place because the food is amazing! Great quality ingredients, and flavors to die for! The restaurant was really cold when we got there and when we reported it, the server turned up the heat, which was really nice. I wish the lighting, especially for night dining was a little dimmer. Service was a little slower than normal, but possibly because it was a Wednesday. 
We celebrated Galentine's Day at Finch with 12 ladies! Our waitress was outstanding! Everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks! Thanks for a lovely dining experience!
Love the fried curry chicken and rice. There are also unique drinks and delicious salads. Definitely give this place a try.
The food was great, music was good, and the espresso martini was delicious. Dessert menu was just so so. Would definitely come back.
Excellent service, staff friendly and professional. Food: appetizers, we ordered the Brussel sprouts & breaded cheese curds, both great. I ordered the Thai salad and my client ordered the paninni sandwich with salad. Both delicious! We ordered the bread pudding desert with ice cream, Yum! We both had leftovers to take home. Vibe: Modern/ retro eclectic, loved it! Price: Moderate, for 2 people, appetizers, food, desert, non-alcoholic drinks, $98 Noteworthy: Great place for business meetings or family or friends. I live in North County San Diego and client lives in Inland Empire, so this was a great spot to meet, off of the 15 FWY
We waited well over an hour for our food while other tables, who came in after us were being served. Our waitress was fabulous & realized this & apologized to us, but when the food finally came, the biscuits were rock hard in the biscuits and gravy. My hash dish was flavorless and dry overall. They gave us a 10% discount but it should have been much more! We will never go there again. Don't waste your time or money.
Sunday Brunch was a great experience, sitting on the outside patio enjoying the sunshine and mountain scenery with the best food selection, I had eggs Benedict with purple and gold potatoes which was so delicious. This was my 3rd visit and this time brought friends who also loved the food, especially the pastrami sandwich!
Another good meal spent with family to celebrate my younger brother's birthday. Everyone enjoyed the food that they had selected and everyone enjoyed their time. Thank you for hosting us. We really appreciate it.
We enjoy our time, the wine was excellent and the food was good. Our server, Gail was very kind, professional and helpfull.

Finch is clearly a not so hidden Wildomar gem! Get here early! We arrived for dinner at 7:00 and the empanadas, curds, and yam wedges were already sold out. The Angus Beef sliders were tender and flavorful. The buffalo cauliflower was outstanding in flavor profile and texture. The brussels were a wonderful surprise as well. While the short rib fries were unremarkable and the Caesar salad with salmon was okay (the leaves were a little tough and the fish dry), the Tenderloin & Lemon Orzo more than made up for it. The surprising hit of the evening: Salted Caramel Bread Pudding. This a la mode treat is a must-try. The service was excellent and we are looking forward to coming back (earlier next time) to try the other menu items.

Finch was easy to find, very close to the freeway. We had reservations so we were seated right away. We went for brunch. The service was great. Our waitress was very nice, friendly, and attentive. Although the food was good it was just lukewarm, not hot enough for my taste. I got the steak and eggs and although I said medium for my steak it was well done and very little chimichurri so it was dry. We ordered coffee and I'm not a coffee snob but it was not very good. They poured a warm-up for us and it tasted like tea! 😣 We told our waitress and she brewed a fresh pot right away and got us new cups with fresh hot coffee. Overall I enjoyed the restaurant. I'd like to try it for dinner. I would return to this place.
My brother and I get together once a month for a brothers lunch. I go to Orange County to see him every other month and he comes to see me on the alternate months. The reason for this is because we lost all 5 of our other siblings in 8 years. Our youngest sibling in 2021. I have never had a reason to complain about any of the dozens of lunches we have shared together over those years. UNTIL NOW, I decided to go to Finch on Clinton Keith Rd. in Wildomar. We were greeted by a very delightful host. He told us that our server would be with us shortly. 20 minutes later a waitress walked right past us to attend to a table that had just arrived. 10 minutes after that I was able to make eye contact with the host as if to say WTF. He came over and apologized. He said he would take care of it. 15 minutes later, when we should have been paying the tab and leaving the waitress showed up. She was delightful, took our order and served us within about another 20 minutes. We are now over an hour in when we are served. I had the Loco Moco medium, somehow the chef found a way to make ground beef to have the texture of rubber. My brother had the pastrami sandwich and couldn't finish it because it was also rubbery. In my 65 years I have never left a review for anyone. I will never return to this establishment
Wonderful place for reunion with friend for over 60 years. Quiet enough to have great conversation; salads and mocktails were perfect for lunch. 9 minute drive from my daughter's home, easy access close to I-15 for my San Diego lunch companion. Looking forward to return
Still looking for good local restaurants, Finch was ok overall - we could find parking, the staff were friendly, the ambiance was casual, but the food wasn't completely inedible like so many places we've been. The pot stickers were gummy with cold sauce, yet edible somehow. The Finch dip tasted good but the meat was like a soggy pulled beef. The meatloaf was tasty.
This was our second visit to Finch!!! Food was excellent. Service was great! Bringing family, from out of town, over the holidays. Love this place!
