I just wanted to share how amazing our experience was thanks to our server, Payton. From the moment we sat down, Payton made us feel welcomed and taken care of. The energy was warm, attentive, and genuine, the kind of service that instantly makes your whole meal better. Payton checked on our party of 8 at the perfect moments, made great recommendations, and always had a smile on her face. It's rare to find someone who is both professional and personable, but Payton balanced both effortlessly. Our food was great, but Payton is truly what made our visit special. If you're thinking about dining here, ask for Payton. You won't be disappointed! Also huge shout out to the host Avery. I called asking for our servers name so I can leave a review, she expressed she wasn't part of the morning crew but still took the time to help me figure out who our server was from a shift she wasn't even part of. That level of kindness and effort is rare and so appreciated. read more

Located on Clinton Keith and Palomar with plenty of parking, outdoor seating and a full bar. I really wanted to love this place more because the vibe is incredible. The restaurant is spacious with a cozy atmosphere. I loved the walls adorned with open books and the floral wallpaper. We came to celebrate our anniversary and made a reservation online. Our waitress was proactive and let us know they were out of a couple menu items right as she handed the menu. The drinks were great, and the flavors of the 'Fried Chicken & Curry' were on point. However, the chicken itself was very dry and hard, and the portions were quite small for the price. One disappointment: there was no acknowledgement or special gesture from the staff even though we noted the occasion in our reservation. I'd definitely come back for drinks at the bar, but I'll likely skip it for dinner. read more

This place has a classic vintage look and a lively atmosphere. It was quite busy when we arrived, and since we didn't have reservations, we ended up sitting at the bar. The bartender was very nice and attentive, even with the crowd. We ordered a burrito, a spicy chicken sandwich, a prickly pear drink, and a beer. The burrito was a bit on the dry side, and the salsa on top felt more like a decoration than something that added to the flavor. The spicy chicken sandwich had great seasoning, but unfortunately it was a little overcooked, making the chicken somewhat tough to bite into. As mentioned, the place was busy, so there was a bit of a wait for our food. It wasn't a huge issue, but it's something to keep in mind if you arrive very hungry. Overall, the atmosphere and service were good, but the food had a few small issues that kept it from being great. read more

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was bad enough to justify one. The Thai salad with extra chicken was genuinely awful. The lettuce was wilted, the snap peas were dehydrated, and the entire salad tasted like it came straight out of a grocery store bag -- not a restaurant kitchen. It honestly felt like something you'd buy pre-packaged at Stater Bros. and dump on a plate. Service was mediocre at best. Our waitress couldn't keep our water glasses filled, and basic attention to the table was lacking. Fingerprints all over the front door should've been the first red flag. What really stings is the value. I paid about $70 for the meal and still left a $12 tip, despite the poor service and disappointing food. From this experience, I will not be returning, and I will absolutely be telling others to avoid this place. For the price point, I expected fresh ingredients, basic attentiveness, and some level of pride in execution. Unfortunately, none of that was there. read more

A very natural and cute atmosphere. Food was delicious and service great! Definitely will be back!

We went here for Valentine's Day! I love how every time we come here, they have new menu items! The chicken Provence and meatloaf was delicious! My daughter loved the pizza flat bread. Service was lovely. Finch is a cute and fun place to enjoy brunch, lunch or dinner. We have been here quite a few times and Finch does not disappoint! read more

Excellent and delicious brunch menu. The chilaquiles are delicious and my favorite. Always served with plenty of egg protein. Service is always consistently good. I dine here at least once a week usually for lunch and dinner. read more

The positives: service is good. Ambience is nice, if you don't go on game night it is quiet and relaxing. There is seating outside if it gets noisy. Food is pretty good. Upscale cuisine. The cons: Pricey. Example small finger size empanada appetizers are like $5.00 a piece. read more

Have been eating at Finch for 6 years. Service and Ambience great. However, last few times I've noticed the food arrives cold. Went for brunch and food was cold. Eggs Benedict and potatoes were cold. This is not the first time also Lunch and Dinner. Please find a resolution other than Heat lamps. Thank you. read more

I'm on the fence on if I would return or not, while our waitress and her shadow were both equally nice and hospitable, we did not feel that welcoming vibe from the hostess, bartender or chefs. Everyone just seemed gloomy and not personable or approachable. The hostess from when she came up front wasn't smiling or welcoming, we tried to engage in conversation with her while she gave monosyllabic answers. The food was pricey, I didn't realize brunch was only served on the weekends and I came specifically for the avocado toast, that was my bad since I didn't look into it further and just assumed, but it was our first visit. The steak sandwich was ok, the meat was cooked perfectly, but the cut was tough and chewy, the sweet potato and truffle fries were perfect and the coffee was delicious. The downside of the whole visit was the crazy amount of flies that kept swarming around us during our meal that we spent a good amount of time swatting away, that was a complete turn off. read more

TL;DR: Finch in Wildomar is a stylish brunch spot with amazing food (don't skip the Brussels sprouts), great drinks, and stellar service. Perfect for brunch, birthdays, or showing off to out-of-town guests. Finch in Wildomar is always a win, and our Sunday brunch visit was no exception. The space is modern and stylish, the kind of place that makes brunch feel like an occasion. We started with the Brussels sprout appetizer--hands down one of the best things on the menu. For mains, I ordered the chilaquiles with short ribs (rich and flavorful), my wife had the hearty Al Pastor hash, and my sister enjoyed the steak and eggs. Everything hit the mark. Drinks were just as good: $20 bottomless mimosas kept half our table happy, while I loved my spicy Bloody Mary. The Neon Cactus was another standout cocktail worth trying. Service was excellent thanks to our server, Lauren, who was welcoming, attentive, and made the meal even better. To top it off, we were celebrating a birthday, and Finch surprised us with a molten lava cake at a discount--a thoughtful gesture that really made the day feel special. Finch continues to be one of my favorite brunch spots--reliable, delicious, and always a great choice when I want to impress visiting friends or family. read more

Had brunch with my family today at Finch. The host, Lisa, along with Summer and Sergio, provided exceptional service -- something that is definitely rare these days -- so I was genuinely impressed. It was a wonderful experience overall. They were all very attentive, and the food was delicious. The wait was about 45 minutes, so I highly recommend making reservations. read more

My last visit at Finch was just a couple years after they initially opened in 2017 - that visit was okay but not too memorable. We decided (now, 5 years later) to give it another try, we were unfortunately disappointed. On a Sunday, around 2pm we arrived to realize what I mentioned in my previous review - if arriving before 3pm on the weekend, the menu options are very, very limited. But that was just the beginning. The waitress seated us and after a while we ordered drinks and what we remembered from the previous visit as positive option, the brussel sprouts. Unfortunately, when our main meals arrived and we asked about our appetizer, our waitress said, "did you order an appetizer?" For the limited choices, my wife decided on one - when ordering, the waitress told us that they just ran out of that meal option. At around 2:30pm, we noticed that most of the patrons were consistently being served (and consuming) mimosas. When we asked about this, the waitress said she forgot to mention that to us and let us know that the "endless mimosas" was available - my wife went with that option. About 20 to 30 minutes later (having had just one out of "endless" mimosas, the waitress came by to tell us that the "endless" option ends at 3pm; we told her that key point should have been mentioned when we ordered. On my wife's ordered black 'n blue burger, she ordered a side of avocado. When brought to the table on a small plate, fortunately my wife turned the avocado over to realize that it had gone bad (brown and black throughout; basically, partially rotten). We returned it for a "good" one. My wife's black 'n blue burger and my loco moco meals were okay, but definitely not worth the amount paid. When we had arrived the place was pretty packed, but at around 3pm when the "endless mimosas" ended, it quickly cleared out - it is obvious that this option is the big draw to Finch. As we switched to dessert, the first option we attempted to order was also not available ("we ran out"). In summary, as stated in the Yelp headline for Finch - correct, this is a very "chic" place, particularly during endless mimosa time; young single gentlemen may want to try this place out during this time if wanting to explore another pickup place besides a club/bar. With the multiple disappointments, from food availability to food quality, to service, we had decided that this would not be a place we would likely ever return to - (in my opinion) in Finch's effort to be so trendy, they left out a few important things. read more

Great vibes, fresh food, and top-notch service! Loved the aesthetic--both indoor and outdoor seating are super clean and cozy. Service was friendly, and while the food took a little time, it tasted fresh and made from scratch. Drinks came out fast. Highly recommend the buffalo cauliflower--crispy with a flavorful kick. The salmon with risotto, beet purée, and parmesan crisps was next level. A hidden gem I'll definitely be coming back to. read more

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it." - Atticus Finch, "To Kill A Mockingbird" From my point of view, this is a solid restaurant in the formerly cuisine wasteland of Wildomar that does an excellent job with soups, salads, steaks and all the rest. The $30 burger (burger, bacon, truffle fries) looks especially hearty and sublime. Corkage is $20, the interior is quirky and the service is excellent. Recommended!! read more

It's super cute inside our waitress was really nice however the food which you come for wasn't good. Ordered the pastrami sandwich and It was the worst sandwich I've ever had. The pastrami was chewy,very fatty and just plain gross took like 2 bites. You should just completely take that item off ur menu!! read more

I would be back! The vibe here is super cute. The service was great and the food tasty too. I wish I could drink right now (pregnant!) because their drink section looked awesome! The only bummers we had were: 1. We asked for no olives in the short run fries and they had olives. Luckily they were big enough to where we just picked around them, but still. 2. Our entrees took awhile to come out. Enough to where we asked for them. However, they came out a literal minute after we asked. 3. The French dip isn't really a French dip. It's a short rib sandwich that you dip in jus. After the getting the short rib fries appetizer, that would have been good to know since you're essentially eating the same thing as a meal right after. Overall, I am satisfied with the whole experience and would definitely go back. read more

Decor is inviting. Music is soft classic rock. Service is excellent. The food is top notch. We arrived the moment they opened at 10 am on Sunday. The food is large portions so if you eat like a bird (light appetite) don't order a single dish for yourself unless you want a large take home. My wife and sister-in-law ordered a hash dish and breakfast sandwich--both each took more than 1/2 of their orders home. Definitely we would come back here again and again. read more

My husband and I attempted to dine here earlier today but ultimately left due to a complete lack of service. After waiting about five minutes, the hostess seated us outside. We then sat for approximately 15-20 minutes without anyone greeting us, taking a drink order, or even acknowledging us. During that time, another table next to us was seated after we had already been waiting and was immediately greeted by a server. We watched plates and water be dropped off at their table while no one came to ours. Two different employees walked past us without making eye contact or checking in. As a former restaurant manager, I understand that things can get busy, so we waited patiently. However, it became frustrating when a table seated after us received prompt service while we continued to be ignored. We even attempted to get someone's attention, but no one acknowledged us. We eventually decided to leave and go elsewhere, where the service was much better. When we informed the hostess we were leaving because no one had ever greeted us, she appeared more focused on putting on her lipstick than addressing the issue. I wish she had ensured the server for our section knew they had a table outside. We're new to the area and we're really looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately, the lack of service was extremely disappointing. read more

Super cute restaurant I love the interior design. Cute little spots to take pictures with friends and family. I like how they have the indoor and outdoor seating. As far as the food goes, things definitely changed since my last visit there. I have gotten the chicken and waffles in the past and the chicken was deep-fried at that time and really good. So when I had my friend come from out of town I wanted to take her here. Today the chicken was bland and didn't have very much seasoning. The waffle had way too much gravy which made my waffle soggy. My friend got the omelette with the smashed potatoes that weren't seasoned either. The service was good I forgot to get our servers name she was super sweet and friendly. She was very tentative and answered any questions my friend had. The omelette says you can pick 3 ingredients and the server let us know we could add additional for an up charge. read more

We had Crissy as our server. What a great and cheerful person. She was exceptionally good! The only thing I could say is I wish the Cooks would Read the orders. As in details like Crispy Bacon instead of coming out limp and just cooked. Also the English muffins cooked instead of soft and Not toasted. Just little things that we don't have to send back would help. read more

Incredible cocktails, excellent food, and super fun atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly and attentive. My son had the Shrimp Tagliatelle and we all voted that #1! The sauce is indescribable!!

Met up with some girlfriends for lunch here today. Food and service was GREAT! Our server Lauren was so kind and hospitable. We were there for 2 hours and never felt rushed or neglected. Lauren told us the meaning behind the name "finch" and how it relates to the menu choices, something I didn't know about the place. Overall, great experience here today. My friends had never been here and left raving about what a great spot this is. Thanks for the great afternoon! read more

This resto is cute with their floral wallpaper a decor! Nice vibe. Kind front of the house and attentive servers. Enjoyed our first lunch in the Wildomar area. Started with tasty cheese curds. My hash of veggies, protein, and potatoes was served in a cast iron skillet. Good and just needed more salsa or something else to give it a little more love. Hubby's chilaquiles hit the spot. Had room for dessert and got creme brulee. Delish! Others yelpers recommend making reservations. We came by on a Sunday afternoon during lunch hours and had less than a 30 minute wait. Would very likely return when visiting Wildomar. 4 solid stars! read more

Food was OK. The calamari was very small for the portion. I didn't not understand a chipotle cream and lemon sauce for a spinach tagliatelle. The spicy tuna could've used the smallest pieces of jalapeño because the sizes were too big. What gets them the 4 star which actually was a 5 star service was because of Lauren. Her service, care, attentiveness, and dedication to great hospitality is the reason for the 4 stars. The vibes are cool. It was lunch time so the music was alright. Other than that great service and will be there again in February. read more

My husband and I have gone to Finch's a couple of times and it hasn't lost its appeal. The food is amazing, it's flavorful, delicious and, sumptuous. I had the ribeye steak with a delicious cream sauce, roasted potatoes and green beans. They grilled the ribeye steak to perfection. The roasted potatoes were delicious and the green beans were flavorful. My husband had the grilled salmon. The salmon was flaky but not dry. It was delicious and perfectly cooked. The service is excellent. The server was great and we appreciated her hospitality, service and friendly attitude. The food came quickly and was hot. No complaints here. Just delicious food, great service and beautiful atmosphere. read more

We have been coming here for years and enjoyed it but tonight the service was the worst ever. Had a server named Alexa. She was never around and all table she was serving weee complaining. Very rude, food sat at window until we had to beg her to get it. Drinks were watered down due to sitting at bar so long before we got them. No manager there to talk to. She kept leaving into the back and never coming back. She was horrible. Probably the worst server we've ever encountered. Will say good was good as always but this server ruined our entire evening and every other table she was serving as we were there. read more
