My wife and I have had the chance to eat here twice now. Wonderful food and great cocktails. Both times we really enjoyed ourselves. If you are looking for a lovely fine dining restaurant, then I’d highly recommend trying it out. Make sure you get a reservation!

Wow, this place truly earned all its stars, it was amazing. Everything sounded so good that we ended up just getting a bunch of appetizers and practically all the small plates and every single thing was delicious. Even my picky child loved the meatballs. I highly recommend this place!

Quaint, but not stuffy or fussy. High end quality food, and wonderful atmosphere both in the main dining room, bistro (where we sat), or outside looked great too. We will be back!

Finally, a restaurant that you can truly say fine dining in Port Townsend. Their menu looks very standard but the results are amazing, locally sourced, very creative flavors and beautifully plated. I would highly recommend the small plates and snacks to share. We ordered raw oysters, gaspacho which is out of this world, shishito peppers, fried oysters best I have had. Bolognese to share. For dessert olive oil cake.

I can recommend the happy hour from 3 to 5pm. not a total bargain, but perhaps reduced from the dinner time hours. Very good oysters.

The whole experience here was absolutely fantastic; the food, the service, and the lovely atmosphere. The staff were extremely courteous, and the food hit every expectation and then some. I would honestly love the recipes for the campanelle and the panna cotta, they were over the moon and stole the show.
Cannot recommend high enough.

Stopped by on a Friday afternoon for Happy-Hour at 3pm; fortunately, we arrived 15 mins early to join the line waiting outside the front door. Those that were not in line had to wait 45 mins for space to be available.
Overall, our happy-hour experience at Finistere was very good. Service was excellent and our dishes were delivered hot to our table as they became ready. Food ranged from good to excellent as follows:
Crispy Fingerlings (pan-fried fingerling potatoes) were served hot with a tasty seasoning. The Chicken Liver Mousse with red onion jam on a thin slice of grilled baguette was nicely presented and was very rich and tasty. The red onion jam was very good and perhaps the only change to be made here would be to not add salt crystals on top – overall was a bit too salty. The thin slice of grilled baguette was perfectly cooked with a drizzle of olive oil and was the perfect platform for the mousse. The fried Washington oysters were good and quite tasty with the calabrian chili aioli and thin slices of fennel. The house-made pasta was served hot and was quite tasty and filling with a house-made tomato-based sauce – my only suggested improvement would be to let the pasta shine through more with just a light coat of sauce accompanied by a small bowl of extra sauce to be added as needed.
Although a bit pricey, we were quite pleased with the food and service at this Port Townsend restaurant and we look forward to returning someday perhaps for dinner.
