Going into this restaurant I had high hopes it had great reviews, good pictures, everything that you want in a review. But I was sadly disappointed, the food was sub par nothing special and the decor was meant to be funny? Going into their happy hour we decided to get some drinks. Not only were the drinks not correctly made but I'm glad we had some time to spare because service was not quick. The Brussels sprouts were extremely salty and they thought they through their own spin on it by shredding them. I don't know how people would spend their hard earned money on happy hour let alone not during happy hour. read more

I wasn't wild about this place. It was okay, but I don't recomend people there. It honestly just slips my mind. The drinks were overpriced and the staff wasn't personable. I didnt feel welcomed... it was just awkward. The food was ok. read more

So I am new to this area and was in search of a brunch spot when I came across Finch on Yelp ! I dined in about a week ago and I have to say I can't stop thinking about how great the food was! But not only that our server ALEX ! He was amazing ! His knowledge of the menu and the drinks was perfect, he made some great suggestions and was constantly attentive to my friends and I, he was very professional but was also funny and made us feel like we already knew him ! The food and his service is definitely bringing me back to your establishment, I have also told my other friends and family about Finch ! I can't wait to return to eat and hopefully have ALEX again. read more

We had a delicious early dinner tonight! I had the Tai chicken salad and my husband had the shiitake burger with fries. I highly recommend both! I added avocado to my salad per my server's (Lexi) recommendation! The bartender and servers acknowledged us as soon as we walked in which was very nice. We'll go back! read more

Hi all Today was our first meal at Finch. Very busy so we sat at the bar at noon time. Interesting Sunday brunch menu. Very good service and generous portions of quality food. I liked the cloth napkins which is a nice touch. Short but interesting wine list. Staff polite and helpful. Will definitely return. read more

The food is okay. It has an old grandmas house atmosphere. I read they got a low grade bc of rat poop, fruit flies, and the dishwasher wasn't using sanitizer. Nasty. I don't want to come back. But their steak was good but I don't want to eat rat poop. Maybe if they fixed these problems? read more

Gave it 4 only cause of price, the burger was absolutely delicious. Adding an egg made it all the more with it. Bloody was also great, homemade mix, not out of a plastic bottle which was a plus. Can't speak for the other menu items but I would definitely come back for the burger. read more

Finch - Finch burger! - American Near Me - Wildomar, California

Love the vibe, love the amazing food! We will be back for sure! The Brussels sprouts were bomb!

Creative food and great atmosphere! Very beautiful decor and our server was very nice. I loved how open and spacious the dining room was even though every table was full for Father's Day. The food was fresh and tasty! read more

Franz was wonderful! Knowledgeable and friendly. Food is always delicious and the atmosphere is great.

It's a Wednesday night and I took my mom to eat here for her birthday along with the rest of my family. I will say this, the food was fire. Best fries I have ever had and the burger was awesome and had lots of flavor HOWEVER, the service was terrible. Our servers section was completely empty and so was the entire restaurant. A lot of staff standing around not doing much which I get it, I'm a server too so I know how it is when it's dead. Never got a refill on my drink so it kinda sucked eating the rest of my food with nothing else to drink. Our server was pretty rude, never asked how our food was. She dropped boxes on our table and never said anything. Waited around for about 15 minutes to get our check. The whole time I was getting some rude looks from the staff so, I'm not sure if my "Let's Go Brandon" shirt offended everyone and was the cause of bad service. If that's the case I mean who cares? I paid $150 for 4 of us, was respectful, and wasn't that pain in the butt customer that every server dreads. But yea that was my experience, I hope the management can take this for what it's worth and make the necessary adjustments and...LETS GO BRANDON! read more

Just stopped by Finch for the first time. One word,....FANTASTIC!!! 5 stars all the way! Atmosphere was upbeat and fun with a band playing. The Hostess was super friendly. Our waitress Moona was like a breath of fresh air. Very professional, always smiling and attentive to our needs. The food came quickly and was AMAZING! The Peruvian fries topped with short ribs were SICK! Best fries I've ever had! Could have stopped with the fries they were so good and so filling, but had the Finch burger on the way. The burger was cooked to perfection, which I've found to be rare when ordering medium-rare burger. It was absolutely fantastic! The salad was crisp and fresh with fantastic dressing. Even though I live 30 minutes away this will be one restaurant I plan to visit frequently. Highly recommend! read more

Super cute restaurant!!!! They are putting out some exceptional food here! The decor is adorable and the staff is so darn nice and accommodating to any need you have. I have gone twice now and have had the Brussel Sprouts, the Pierogies (loaded), their pork belly ban mi, tomato salad and the Mediterranean salad.... omg it's just such a special treasure that everyone needs to know about. There is even outdoor seating and it's such a great ambiance. You all should god I recommend this place highly!!!!! read more

The service was very nice and the drinks were unique + strong! The food was the low point here, we only got an appetizer (something with fries but I can't remember the name) and it was pretty underwhelming. This place is definitely worth a second chance though! read more

Menu is limited. Atmosphere is blah. We walked out after being seated and looking at the menu.

My family had eaten here a few days before trying it. My wife and I ordered breakfast - great Bloody Mary. Was excited to try the chicken and waffles and my wife had the brussel sprouts. Both were tasty. Service was good. The only downside and reason for the rating - both our meals were cold - customer behind us - same thing. read more

I hate to leave bad reviews but my experience was horrible. From the service to food to prices. Our waitress was horrible, we had to ask her several times for things, even simple refills on water. I would understand if it was extremely busy but it wasn't. The food was not good and everything came out over cooked and mushy. The price of the food is not cheap either. Unfortunately we will not be going back, I highly recommend trying somewhere else before coming here. read more

Glad we stopped by! Really cool interior. Fun. Loved the food and ambiance. I really hope we can come back soon and try all the other things on the menu. read more

The food is good and the staff is great, but don't go on the weekends. They have bottomless mimosas for brunch and people get super drunk and loud. We were there next to two large parties that were clearly over their limit. It was like being in Vegas. They kept singing happy birthday over and over. So obnoxious. Restaurants have a duty to other patrons trying to enjoy a meal. They should have kindly asked them to chill out. read more

I'm so glad we finally tried this restaurant, it is amazing. The food is awesome and the vibe is very relaxed and eclectic. Loved our experience here and will definitely be back! read more

I'm giving the 3 stars for "chabby chic" atmosphere. Very cute for a daytime lunch. My husband and I came for my birthday lunch and ordered a tomato salad and short-ribs appetizer. The food was a lousy attempt at "finer" urban cuisine. No flavor!!! I was searching for salt and pepper on the tables...none! I felt like I was eating something I could whip up at home and the food quality was not great. Presentation was good on the other hand. Great service and no surcharge on our check but I won't be back, only for cocktails! read more

Finch - Looks good but taste...meh - American Near Me - Wildomar, California

Our group just visited The Finch in Wildomar this afternoon, 1/17/21. Two members of our group had gone previously and highly recommended the food, atmosphere, and service The Finch brought. (For the other group member and myself, it was our first visit today.) Upon entering, the scene has a hipster-vibe - books on the wall, wallpaper along the bar, record players, a garage door that lifts to expose a patio dining area, a faux fireplace with an adorable oversized lampshape, and a deer's head centered behind the bar, with, of all things, a finch perched on its nose. The food menu is single-sided; the reverse side has drinks. I would give it $$-$$$ in pricing, probably appropriate for a nice date out. Upon being seated, our group was immediately brought a tray-full of waters. We informed the server that 2 of us would like iced tea, and another one of us would like a soda. Those came quickly enough, and our orders were taken in a fair amount of time. When the food was delivered, one person in our group had to return an item because they did not follow the instructions to omit mayonnaise, which he cannot eat. The burger was returned to the kitchen to be fixed or remade, however, once it was returned, the entire burger was charred-burnt. Our friend asked to speak to a manager to explain what had happened, because by this time, the rest of our group was done eating. Of note: we never had a single person check on us for the entirety of our meal. We had to get up 2-3 separate times in order to have our drinks refilled because we were missing table service. This would have been understandable if the restaurant was busy; however there were only 2 other tables besides our own, and the occasional person or couple at the bar. There were 2 servers designated for tables, 1-2 bartenders at all times, and a variety of other staff moving throughout the restaurant. When the manager arrived, all hell broke loose. Rather than address the issue of the burnt hamburger, he insulted our friend, and tried to explain that every worker at the restaurant "works 14-hour shifts, 2 jobs, and just recovered from the brunch crowd," and noted the restaurant should not even be open right now due to the pandemic. He made it sound like because they were open, we should forgive all transgressions and just be happy to be there. (His words were: "I shouldn't be here, you shouldn't be here, what the f$ck?!) The manager said he would comp the burger, but it still meant our friend had nothing to eat. Before leaving our table, he aggressively stated, "You picked the wrong f$cking manager." Our group sat at the table for several moments, kind of shocked at the interaction, and waited for our bill. When the manager returned to the bar, a different group member approached and asked to speak to him. He said that the bartenders and the manager were doing a great job behind the bar, and treating everyone great. However, the servers were neglecting their tables. Upon this statement, the manager became very defensive and continued swearing at our group member. He insulted him several times, told him he needed to "learn how to be a good human being," and said he "didn't need lessons from an old man." (with many more "f" bombs in this mix as well) The manager continued clapping his hands, swearing at and insulting our group member, and confrontationally came from behind the bar to the front, as if he were going to strike him. It was so unprofessional (and unprovoked) everyone in the restaurant was staring at him, speechless. He kept ranting that all of the workers are overworked and should not be there. He recommended we call the owner and state our complaint, which we will gladly be doing. We will likely suggest they change those 14 hour days into 2 separate shifts to lessen the stress these workers are obviously feeling at this time. Our safety felt compromised as a result of this manager's aggression, and I cannot say we will be returning if this is how they treat customers, nor can I recommend this place to others. I am appalled this person is a representative. read more

We have been waiting 80 minutes for dinner, still no food. Appetizers were prompt and delicious, and server is kind and friendly, but seriously, I don't understand the delay. It's a burger. read more

Hmmmm where do I start lol. This business is down the street from where I live. Let me start by saying seasonings seasonings seasonings. The food was bland and boring. Drinks were strong though and it's a cute spot read more

Definitely recommend!! After a long drive from Sacramento and getting shitty service at a nearby restaurant (which we left), Zander turned things around for us without even knowing our situation. Zander was super friendly, upbeat and made great food and drink recommendations, we loved everything and really enjoyed our time. I recommend the friend chicken curry, chicken pesto panini, the cowboy mule and ask for their pink shot!So good! The inside is also really cute. Thanks again! read more

We came in during happy hour. We got calamari which ahd a good flavor but I would say its enough for 1 person and not really sharable. We had the burger and salami and ham (can't recall the name) sandwich, both were very tasty. We also got the margarita which wasn't good and and old fashipn which was good. Overall it was a nice place and good food. read more

This place was awesome. First of all, we were absolutely the worst kind of guests. We were meeting family who showed up an hour and a half late, on a holiday. The bartender was essentially by himself serving the whole restaurant. That being said, the drinks were very good (especially the old pecan), and the food was delicious. Most importantly, the bartender (my bad for not getting his name), kept the whole place functioning with a great attitude and great service. Side note, the playlist was on point as well! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area! read more

A wonderful restaurant. Great food We Love the burgers and the curry chicken is amazing. The restaurant is a small business and is locally owned and the people are incredible. The inside is decorated incredible and it's definitely an experience. I must go to restaurant and well tomorrow. read more

The Finch burger was delicious with the garden salad. Great hostess, server & bartender. Very friendly-chatted a little with me asking how my day was as I waited up front for a friend. The ambiance is charming. read more

We tried the new restaurant Finch for lunch and we loved it! Kristi was our server and did a fabulous job taking care of everything. We sat out on the patio with it's "grass deck"- so cool! I had the burger(open faced for gluten free) and my wife had an incredible salad with chicken added. Both meals were outstanding and drinks to go with them were just as good. I would highly recommend going to Finch for lunch and dinner if you haven't tried it- you will love it!! read more

My wife, two friends, and I came into Finch tonight. We were seated promptly and greeted immediately by our server Zander. He was upbeat and has amazing energy and made our whole visit beyond expectations. He recommended drinks that both my wife and I adored. We explained that I love whiskey, and she loved gin, and the drinks we got were spot on! The appetizers were delicious, we had the Brussels and the pot stickers, both extremely delicious! The egg on the Brussels sprouts is such a unique flavor, it paired perfectly. Our entrees were equally as amazing. We sat close to the bar and had equally great conversations with the bartender at the time, but nothing beat our server, Zander! Although the drinks and food were amazing, I almost want to say we WILL be returning to sit and be served by Zander. OUTSTANDING service. Amazing food. Fantastic drinks. A must try if in the area! We will define back. Save us a table, Zander! read more

I give 3 stars food was good. Waitress was friendly and worked well with our semi large group. Drinks on the other hand were just okay. I ordered a Bloody Mary $14 and wow it wasn't worth it. Was made mostly of what tasted like store bought tomato juice. Absolutely no spices or seasonings. Pretty sure the booze sat next to the drink. Watched the bartender (a woman) grab the bacon from a small container with her bare hand after she had touched the glass, juice and other bar items she said were in the Bloody Mary. Kind of a turn off. Also another person ordered a drink and was told "we are out of ginger beer". Like I said. Food on point. Mary's need help. Bottomless mimosa my group said was free flowing. Would I return? Not for brunch. Maybe would try dinner. read more

first time in here, got seated quickly, not very buzzy. Inside restaurant Décor was cute but gave off a real Bar setting, Service was spot on & our server was wonderful, food arrived in a timely manner, my food was good but was missing something maybe some cheese or something to kick it up a notch & my colleagues lamb dish was way over powering with the sauce that the rice was mushy on the bottom of the plate, but the lamb was tender. maybe in a few months well give this place another try. read more

I had the best experience at Finch last night. The food, service, and decor is outstanding. Christy was our waitress and she was fun and knowledgeable. I had the fried chicken and curry that she recommended and the hubs had their "catch of the day." We will definitely be coming back for more food and cocktails. LOVE LOVE LOVE! read more

I've loved it every time I've come here. The muffaletta and finch burger are both really good. The Irish cowboy is really unique and innovative. Service is always great read more

I'm an American with a disability. I have a service dog My dog and I have been to Finch three or four times. Tonight we attempted to go again, however we were denied entrance to the restaurant. I attempted to inform the hostess my dog is a service dog, he is registered as a service dog. The hostess began to debate laws regarding service dogs. I presented the required service dog documentation. I informed the hostess, I need him, my health depends on him and I was treated rudely and told no dogs are allowed and Finch did not care if he provided a service to my health, my well-being, my life, my companion, my support was not welcome. I was treated rudely, with disrespect, and pretty much told to leave. If you know of someone that has a disability, if you have a loved one that has a disability, if you care about people that have disabilities, I urge you with everything in me to never frequent Finch. It is shocking a business can deny a person with a disability. I'm pretty sure what Finch practices is illegal. Avoid Finch. read more
