OH SO FINO
Do not read the title of this post as “so-so” Fino, as Fino is anything but. We love Fino and he thinks its on a short list of the best restaurants in town. Recently dining there with a small group of friends, our bill (reasonable at just above $50 per person) was at least two thirds drinks. Bill Norris, the bartender, is the reason why. You can get a flavor of his style, classic yet creative, by checking out Fino’s drink menu. We savored the food which is Mediterranean themed but certainly not limited to being “middle-eastern”. The big dishes are very sophisticated and contain fresh, high-quality ingredients. He had the duck leg confit which had a wonderful cumin flavor that was surprisingly not overwhelming but rather intoxicating (or maybe that was the drinks). Service there has always been spectacular and was the night we went last weekend.
He says: Go for happy hour and sit at the bar. That way you can chat with Bill and get the best that Fino has to offer, which is a lot. Four stars.
