Drunken shrimp and grouper fingers are must haves. No draft beer but otherwise a good selection of cocktails and a couple of local craft options. Quiet, relaxed spot with great views on the water.

Had a wonderful dinner at Finn's. Service was great. Food was delicious. We sat inside but they offer outdoor dining as well. We finished our dinner then went outside to experience the Sunset. Get there early because parking is limited.

Wow, really enjoyed my visit to Finn's. I expected it to be a tourist trap with a view, but the food, prices and service were amazing. I couldn't finish my shrimp boil. But I enjoyed it! Highly recommend this place!
