Food was fantastic, and ambience was exactly what we needed for our group. The service was a little lacking at times but overall great!

Attached to the Warwick hotel, Spice Finch is a relaxed bar/restaurant that serves delicious middle eastern dishes in a pleasant, attractive, environment. Their happy hour is, in my opinion, one of the best in the city, where you can sample their food menu at a fraction of the price, while soaking up the atmosphere, smells, and drinks.

This was our second time at Spice Finch. The drinks both with and without alcohol are delicious. The food is really the star here though! We actually went at happy hour this time and the prices were great.

Brought my fiancé here last night for what was supposed to be a birthday dinner. I made the reservation on Resy and specified it was for a birthday occasion. However, it was never mentioned by any staff while we were there.

We both agreed the food was “good” but nothing extraordinary. The sides of rice we were served with our main course were the worst part. No flavor to speak of. We did not finish them. As you can see, the one bowl is just plain rice with a dab of butter on top. It didn’t have any notable seasoning whatsoever. They also put wilted sprigs of parsley on top of everything, which is frankly, embarrassing.

It’s safe to say we won’t be recommending Spice Finch or returning. Our first experience already said it all.

Our original dinner plans for my son's Birthday Celebration at Almyra across the street were derailed by an unfortunate experience, sending us scrambling for a last-minute alternative. Luckily, we stumbled upon Spice Finch, also across the street. What a difference! From the moment we arrived, we were met with incredible warmth and accommodation. The food, drinks, and service were all Excellent, and it was a relief to find such quality at much more reasonable prices.
Thank you so much for accommodating my family and making my son's birthday dinner memorable.

Great food and service. They squeezed my family in without a reservation on a Friday night. The food is great and perfect for sharing with the family and kids. The cocktails are the best part. I had the Aftercastle which had pistachio flavors and I would not have ordered if the server didn't recommend, but it was AWESOME!!! If only I could travel back and ask for the recipe!!!

This place is a really nice, small, Mediterranean restaurant. The staff was pleasant, and my waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and offered many great suggestions.

I had small plates and everything was absolutely delicious. I ate way too much because I just didn’t want to stop eating!

If you’re looking for great, tapas style or full dishes, Mediterranean food, definitely check out Finch!

We had a delicious meal with a nine top! The service was wonderful and everyone really enjoyed not only their meal, but also the service and ambiance. I would highly recommend, and so glad my husband suggested it!

Shoutout to Jaylene! She was my girlfriend and I's waitress on our anniversary dinner and she did such an amazing job in making sure we were well taken care of! Answered any questions we had and had a very personable personality, she deserves all the praise. Moving onto the food however, we were BLOWN away by the chef's tasting menu. It was our first time at Spice Finch so we didn't know what to expect, but every course/meal definitely left a mark on us; from the shishito peppers, broccoli tabbouleh, chickpea wedges, lamb shank (SO tender), etc. We also had cocktails to complement the dinner and they were perfectly handcrafted by the bartender. All in all, it was a great experience and definitely a place to visit while you're in the city. Will definitely be back!

Small plates and mezze were delicious. The halibut was over cooked and didn't live up to server's hype about it.

Probably my favorite Mediterranean restaurant in the city. Great food, portions are large, and mysteriously it's always easy to get a reservation at!

Went here for an afterwork meet up, very nice Staff, very polite Hostess, good Server/ Bartender very attentive shaking those drinks. I know they were good, shake, shake, shake... they should have milk shakes on the menu and give shake shack a run for their money. Food Server very courteous and funny. First time there and I was impressed, not too loud, food came out quick and good, baked cheese and duck wings 😋. A lot of food and I had my protein and it came with grape tomatoes nice and hot and the crispy garbanzo beans were delicious. Overall good for the experience and worth it for the feel if you want to wind down after work 😉
