I had to come home and leave a review. In Miami the food is often just so-so and the service can be hit or miss, but tonight at Finka Table & Tap everything exceeded my expectations. I took my mom for her birthday and the food, service, and ambiance were all amazing. The hostess was very sweet and our waitress Elizabeth had the best energy and was amazing she made the whole experience even better. My mom was so happy we chose Finka to celebrate ! It's definitely going into my regular rotation! read more

The food here is REALLY GOOD! KOREAN & CUBAN FUSION. AND the portions are BIG! Large serving plates are used. The staff are pleased and everywhere! Never had to "look for" Lewis. He was always available but not hovering. Water was plentiful and didn't have to ask for it. We were there around 6:30 on. Wednesday. We wanted a quieter spot and the hostess was great about finding us one. And it was a bit noisy. There was a large group of "fratboy" types making way too much noise at the bar. So we appreciated the hostess getting us a table far from them. I do have one small critique about the lighting. We were in a row of tables that had NOT ONE OVERHEAD LIGHT. AND the lights that were overhead about 10 feet on either side of the table were on very dim. We had to use our phone lights to read the menu. But I will return and refer others. read more

insane. i went with both my parents who are super picky and theyre obsessed. im obsessed. I lost the photos I took from this place, which is such a shame, but you have to trust me. It looks as delicious as it is. This place is usually really packed so try to get a reservation and finding parking is a bit hard so compact as many people as you can into one car That being said, I recommend this place to anybody who is going to be coming to miami edit: its been about a year since i wrote all that and id like to say im still thinking about that mac and cheese.. please if youre reading this: just go and get 2 mac and cheese and then give the second one to me and ill pay you. wow. so happy i went through my drafts because i cannot believe i forgot to post about a restaurant i still dream of read more

I've dined at FINKA on numerous occasions over the past many many years and it never disappoints. It's a great place for any occasion- from a casual meal to a celebration. They have ample space to cater to large parties, but depending on count, I'd recommend making a reservation for larger parties/groups. They have a unique cocktail list that is beautifully curated along with a wide variety menu to cater to all pallets. A few of my faves: Picar- Porkbelly, yuca fritters, vaca frita tostones, and of course, their croquettas, which I believe are the best in all zeee lands (Isla Canaria). Main Plates- churruasco, oxtail, ravioli, Cuban fried rice I've personally never tried the pizzas, but have heard from friends they are a great choice as well! Whatever you order, I'm sure it will be a great choice! read more

Food was so good I almost forgot to take pictures. All the appetizers were delicious. I think the oxtail empanadas were my favorite. By the time I got to my ravioli entree, I was full but still ate 4. The sauce was so decadent and brisket so flavorful. I can't wait to eat the leftovers. This place is so cute and the service is great. read more

ate twice at Finka this year, a fusion of Korean and Cuban cuisine. Both very good experiences. The first, we celebrated(7of us) my aunt's 90th birthday. They were nice to set the table with a tablecloth that we brought with her 90th Birthday design. Croquetas and Plantain Chips as appetizers. For the main course, I shared the 160z Ribeye steak. It was perfectly cooked. Parmesan risotto, bulgogi reduction, shoestring French fries. Masitas de Puerco -- Beans & Rice, Maduros. Cuban Fried Rice -- Shrimp, Maduros, pineapple, fried egg, peppers. We brought the cake, they served it for a charge. Some of us selected white wine, beer, red wine to drink. Café Cubano to end Service was very attentive. The second time, a few months later, the cousins' lunch: Japchae noodles--sweet potato noodles, vaca frita, bok choy, veggies, scallions, Lomo Saltado Fried Rice, Grilled Fresh Mahi fillet with Shrimp Risotto. Scottish Salmon- bok choy, Shiitake Mushroom, Red Peppers, Bulgogi Brot Hatuey beer & Sparkling water Delicious lunch. Attentive service. read more

It's been about seven years since I've been back and I'm glad to know that this place has not missed a beat. Hosted a baby shower here and it was phenomenal! The ceviche was incredible! The buffalo chicken kale Ceasar salad was great and the Cuban rice was AMAZING and nostalgic. The ambiance and set up was beautiful and the service was excellent! I can't wait to go back and dive into those specials they offer during the week. Be sure to check them out and enjoy! read more

I came with my family to celebrate my father's birthday at an Asian and Cuban fusion restaurant. The dishes were unique and flavorful. We started with the vaca tostones and yuca bites as appetizers. For my main course, I ordered the Cuban fried rice, and for dessert, the guava cheesecake. Everything tasted great, although some of the dishes were quite high in sodium, which my father didn't enjoy. However, the waitress was very kind and removed my father's dish from the bill since he couldn't eat it. read more

Delicious brunch this afternoon at FINKA! Loved the ease of parking upon arrival and was promptly seated as my guests were waiting for our arrival. Kicked off the meal with the SAGED BY THE BELL cocktail which was impressively deliciously. Ingredients incl: Hornitos Plata Tequila / Fresh Lime Juice / Spicy Hibiscus Syrup / Fresh Picked Sage / Peach Bitters Highly recommended cocktail! Ham CROQUETAS and the FRIED YUCA & GOAT CHEESE FRITTERs were both freshly delicious. The star of the brunch was the Oxtail pizza, with truffle, arugula, and goat cheese. My order was modified to accommodate my cow dairy allergy by removing the mozzarella. The pizza literally exceeded my expectations. 5 stars! Never had an Oxtail pizza in my life and thats all I can talk about!! Ive called everyone to go get the Oxtail pizza. My husband had a white fish and potatoes which was very nicely prepared packed with flavors! The nachos dish was enjoyed immensely by my pregnant gf. The baby certainly approved as the entire dish was polished. Lastly, my bestie had the risotto with a sunny side egg which seemed enjoyable. read more

Place is nice sized and clean. Menu had a very unique style and prices were mid to high. I ordered the mahi on shrimp risotto it had a pat of butter covered in chimichurri but they didnt have mahi and replaced with a hog fish. Also I had Dek Calvin chicken fried rice with gojujang sauce spicy real good. Then we ordered bread pudding with ice cream. It was a chocolate cake with chocolate drizzle and chocolate chip ice cream and sorry but NOT bread pudding. I saw some good food and place had very unique appetizers and a full bar. Next time I will just stick to appetizers and alcohol. read more

I had the most memorable experience here at Finka, I sat at the bar for a drink... both bartenders nick and Chris treated me with such good care and educated me very well on their crafty cocktails they make in house. Definitely recommend stopping by for some drinks and food! read more

I chose this restaurant for my birthday celebration with my good girlfriends. I saw this restaurant a few years ago either featured on the news or someone posted about it and I've always wanted to try it. Before going I checked out their website and watched a really cool video about how the restaurant came to be and what influenced the food served. I was very intrigued. When I arrived the entire ambiance and vibe was awesome. Lots of delicious smells, great music and lots of smiles and laughter! I thought to myself, GREAT CHOICE! My girls and I had a wonderful time. The staff was friendly and attentive. Our food was delicious! We had oxtail pizza...amazing! I love fish so of course I had the whole fried snapper with the Asian sauce...OMG! The cocktails were awesome too. I liked it so much, I took my sister there for her birthday! I highly recommend. read more

Honestly couldn't really go wrong with anything here. Place is awesome. They have cool drink specials and fantastic food. This place was also a vibe. The brisket was a little dry and wouldn't really order it again but the fish was insane! The Cuban fried rice was also bomb and we had pretty much all the appetizers and nothing was left. I would love to come back here. read more

We have been to FINKA many times through the years for dinner, but recently we've started going to sit at the bar. The vibe is great, the drinks are wonderful and the bartenders have mastered the art of mixology. Last night, we sat with Nick, who helped us choose our first cocktail, the Boulevadier ... delicious!! We ordered a couple of appetizers and devoured a delicious prosciutto pizza. Nick was great .... he took the time to talk to us and explain mixology Do's and Dont's. We had a great time. read more

I know Finka doesn't need another five-star review, but here's one more to add to their well-earned collection. Simply put - I'm obsessed. Every dish I've tried here has been phenomenal, and the service is consistently top-notch. My husband and I love coming here for date night, especially sitting at the bar. It's more intimate and relaxed, and the bartenders always bring great energy- friendly, funny, and genuinely engaging. Pro tip: Their weekend happy hour (4-7 PM at the bar) is incredible. Every item on the bar bites menu hits, and the cocktails are next-level. I had a spicy margarita-style drink called Saged by the Bell that honestly changed my life. Our must-orders: - Fried Duroc Pork Belly over Crispy Kale - the kale alone is worth the trip. - Brussels Sprouts Appetizer - perfectly crisp with an addictive Asian glaze; I've never cleaned my plate of Brussels sprouts before, but these are a game-changer. - Ceviche Nikkei - I'm not usually a ceviche fan, but my husband couldn't stop raving about this one. All in all, Finka never misses. Can't wait to come back again (and again). read more

Came for dinner with my boyfriend and to start off the restaurant is beautiful, well lit, and the bar area is nice. Our server Raul was super nice and engaging. The brisket ravioli was okay the texture on the inside was interesting. The steak with fufu was amazing, well balanced. The Mule was super refreshing. The banana bread with salted caramel ice cream was the best way to end off the night. read more

FINKA is a space where Cuban and Korean food meet. An interesting combination that works pretty well. They even have some pizza options for those that are adventurous. Service was excellent the waiters were super attentive always checking in during our meal and topping off our water cups. They were also super knowledgeable about the menu and if you had any questions or allergies they would be able to address it. The menu started off with some complementary housemade chips. We ordered off the special appetizer menu and got the jamon and manchego cheese croquettes. For entrees we got the short ribs special and also the merluza fish special and then an Angus churrasco. Food came out great and tasted even better. The steak came out perfectly medium rare and the bed of mashed sweet potatoes were tasty with the nicely cooked green beans giving it a great crunchy texture. The short ribs were tasty but there were a little dry and some parts were crunchy the asparagus werent young either so they were a little hard to chew but the truffled mash potatoes were delicious abit on the stronger side with the truffle smell and taste. The merluza was great definitely not expecting it to be such a massive dish. Fish was cooked well nice and flaky, and the shrimp risotto had a creamy and cheese flavor to accompany the fish on every bite. Overall the first time experience here at FINKA was great would definitely come back for the service and interesting combinations of cultures and food they had. read more

One of the gemstones of Kendall in Miami. The food is great, drinks are just as good, the staff is attentive. They play sports on the tv if you're at the bar, but there's something for everyone. Great for a date night, family get together, or just want to grab a drink + quick bite with some friends. Maykol and Mike at the bar are really cool and honest with their recommendations, even willing to whip up something they think you'd enjoy. I recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

This used to be my favorite local restaurant and go-to whenever someone asked for a recommendation. Unfortunately the last few times have been a miss with overly salted food and overly acidic drinks (with grossly oversized ice cubes that take up 2/3 of the glass). Today my husband and I wanted to give it another try and were left disappointed. We arrived before Noon on a Saturday. There were 2 tables with 2 people each in the main dining area and one table in the greenhouse looking room with about 6 guests. We asked to be seated at a table where we could sit side by side and were denied. At night or during a peak time, I would be more accepting of the denial, however, not when the restaurant is practically empty. It's in poor taste and offputting, leaving a saltier taste in my mouth than the last time I tried their overly salted fried rice so we walked out and will not be returning. UPD: I appreciate the owner's response regarding the seating. Not all of their cocktails (all cold) have the huge ice cubes, but many of them do... Less ice may allow for more other ingredients, which would then make the drinks more palatable because (as you can see from my previous review) this once was my favorite place for cocktails but lately it's been a miss. Just like the food, which wasn't even mentioned. read more

I go to FINKA for the Islas Canarias chicken croquetas and the oxtail pizza. That pizza is legendary and unlike anything I have ever eaten in terms of pizza in MIA. Kind staff and the service is very efficient. I love the ambiance and have eaten at the restaurant before for the lounge vibes, but this pizza is best eaten when picked up because it is THAT type of cozy! Love it! Sending my love to FINKA! read more

The first week of school is in the books!! We were seated promptly and our wonderful waiter Raul was great! He treated us like queens and attended to our needs! The ambiance is lovely. We shared the octopus and the salmon tartare- both were delicious. For dessert, we shared the banana bread and ice cream- it was really good. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant. Thank you Finka and Raul!! read more

We visited Finka Table and Tap on 1/11 while in Miami and unfortunately we left very disappointed. We started with the Korean style Brussels sprouts along with an order of tostones with vaca frittas. The appetizers were not enjoyable -- the Brussels sprouts were overly salty, and the tostones were dry and lacked flavor. For our entrées, my husband ordered the oxtails and I ordered the braised short rib. After taking only two bites of my short rib, it was clear it was extremely dry which was hard to swollow. I immediately let our waiter know that I wasn't enjoying the dish. The only thing I truly enjoyed during the entire meal was a shot of El Tesoro tequila. What was most disappointing was that when the bill arrived, the item I had clearly expressed dissatisfaction with was still fully charged. No effort was made to remove it or offer an alternative. That felt tacky, greedy, and unprofessional, especially given the situation. We won't be returning, but I felt this experience was worth sharing so others can make an informed decision. read more

We came to Finka Table and Tap for a Friday night girls dinner and had a great time. The atmosphere was fun but relaxed, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. We shared several dishes, starting with the Mac and 3 Cheese, which was creamy and well-seasoned. The malanga nachos were a favorite.. so unique, crunchy, and full of flavor. The tostones topped with vaca frita were another standout, perfectly crisp with tender, savory beef. We also had the prosciutto pizza, which had a nice balance of salty and fresh. One of my friends ordered a secret menu item that came with ham croquettes (the only item I took a picture of to order it next time), and it ended up being one of the best things we tried! read more

I would genuinely like the owner, Eileen, to try this flan herself and decide whether it's something she would feel proud serving in her restaurant. Flan is a staple dessert in Latin American cuisine, and unfortunately, this one missed the mark entirely. It was severely overcooked--so firm that I had to apply force just to get my spoon through it. The surface was riddled with craters, and the flavor was far from enjoyable. The addition of squeezed guava on top only made it worse, as it did not complement the dessert at all. This was especially disappointing because every other dish we had was excellent. To end such a great meal on such a weak note was genuinely sad. While food and service throughout the meal matter, dessert is often the final impression a restaurant leaves--and unfortunately, that lasting impression fell flat here. read more

Came back after 10 years of avoiding this place... and WOW! Music and vibe was great, drinks were amazing , food was delicious, and our server Germain took the best care of us. He was so knowledgeable and had the best suggestions. I will definitely be coming back. read more

We enjoyed our dinner at FINKA, wanted to try something different, and they delivered. The food was good, can't say the same about the Beer Sangria Pitcher, mind you we were advised it was beer based, but still there is NOTHING Sangria about this pitcher. The service was fine for a very busy Saturday night. Very..Very LOUD area that we were sitted in, but the place was full of young hipsters showing off. read more

Never disappoints. Eating there or ordering take-out, the quality of the food is amazing and their drinks are good. The service is welcoming and the interior is very pretty. Finka is the perfect place for a nice affordable lunch while enjoying the music or sitting at the bar and having a delicious cocktail and enjoying the night. I've for sure had Finka over 40 times, whether it was for my go to kale caesar salad or eating at the restaurant, not once have i been disappointed. I have been there for lunch, for dinner, for drinks, with large groups, smaller groups; the service has always been good and so has the food. read more

Creative cuisine. Chicken Thai salad was tangy, delicious, and came with 2 chicken breasts for the 6$ add-on! Vaca Frita tostones were so-so, a little cold and overall mediocre. Tasted the Korean fried chicken which was a real treat and good value for 18$. Service was okay, but I'd give it another shot! read more

Came for my wedding rehearsal lunch with a party of 18 and was not disappointed. I only got pictures of a few of the dishes we got, but everything tasted incredible. My favorite was the ceviche is the red sauce, absolutely divine. Our service was outstanding, fast even when a glass was tipped over, helping us mitigate disaster flawlessly. We were seated in a private area which was so intimate and beautiful and truly elevated the experience as if we owned the whole place for the day. Everyone left full and raving about the dishes.

Top Ten Favorite Miami Restaurant for me. Finka represents what Miami is all about; flavor, color, and joy. Every time I go to Finka, from the moment I enter, I feel intoxicated with joy. The menu is a beautiful variety of Latin dishes with Finka's own unique twist. So you can expect the comfort of trying the Latin cuisine but with some unexpected variations and flavors. This restaurant is also beautiful, great vibe, wonderful music and drinks. Finka is a great choice whether you are having an event, a date or a family celebration, I do recommend making reservations ahead of time because it does get busy. I have some friends coming from out of town and we are excited to bring them to Finka. Anything you try in their menu will be delicious, I promise. Highly recommend. read more

We have been going to Finka for many years and it never disappoints. Yet, it bears giving it a shout out occasionally for the consistency in maintaining it's level of quality. Yesterday the family came for a birthday celebration , and we're so glad we did. We were greeted by their hostess Gaby , she was not only professional, but very courteous and friendly. As soon as we were seated Jacklyn took our drink orders as well as appetizers. She also was courteous and patiently served us with a smile. We were a group of 8 and yet everyone was satisfied with they choices and no "hiccups". I'm sure it's not easy being in the restaurant business, but Finka seems to have the formula for success. read more
