About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
Surrounded by windows overlooking the Salem Harbor, Finz offers guests lively waterfront scenery in a comfortable open concept interior. Of particular note is the 40 seat bar which flows from dining room to lounge, floor to ceiling nautical wall, hand painted lobster octopus mural, open style kitchen and built-in raw and sushi bars. In warmer months, the outdoor patio dining along the water is superb, with spots in the shade or the sun to enjoy a libation or light bites. With events centered around local arts, Finz is the place to experience Salem.

    Service was fast and our server was wonderful. Checked in with us often and helped to get us served in a timely fashion as we had to catch the ferry back to Boston.

    This place is not inclusive to colored people. I had a reservation at 4:45PM, I noticed plenty of other parties where seated before me, who stated it’s weird we are being seated before you as your reservation was a one hour and fifteen minutes ahead of ours. Food was great but felt very discounted and disappointed in my first time experience.

    Beautiful waterfront views! The restaurant is much larger than it appears from the outside. The food was great, and the New England clam chowder was delicious. I went specifically for a lobster roll and ordered the hot version. I have to admit, it was just okay. I was expecting more from a New England lobster roll, especially since I’ve had rolls just as good in Pennsylvania. I would definitely return, but I’d try something different on the menu next time!

    Im giving Finz 5 stars because we enjoyed everything. Our waitress was perfect, she seemed to know when we needed her. I had seafood tower, oysters and clams were so fresh and tasty. Tuna tar tar was delicious. Lobster was saved for last, very good. Wife had ceaser salad with grilled shrimp and a cup of clam chowder, loved both. Sat next to window and had a great view of the witches and warlocks. We were planning on Eating there Saturday night but they are booked.

    We had reservations for 1pm and didn’t even get recognized by anyone until 145. We sat outside so it wasn’t nearly as loud as it was inside and the most incredible view. I ordered a lobster roll and it had next to zero flavor. Overall we spent $153 for 2 people and it was very disappointing food. Service was as good as it could be with so many people. Needless to say, if you make reservations, be prepared to wait anyways. This delayed our itinerary tremendously. Would only come back in passing for the view.

    Started with a wonderful piping hot cup of chowder. Our group of four shared two different sushi rolls which were fresh and delicious. We all had seafood entrees which were fantastic. The halibut and crab stuffing was a hit. We even had room for the lava cake and a glass of port. Definitely recommend Finz in Salem. Always a great experience.
