Finn's Fish House - Beer Battered Cod Burger - Seafood Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

Came here with party of 4. Ordered the steamer clams, ceviche and crab cakes for starters. Steamer clams were really good, broth was to die for. Crab cakes were expensive and underwhelming. Ceviche was literally nothing but cheap bay shrimp. I ordered the halibut tacos for my main with no mango salsa because of an allergy. It came with mango salsa and the wrong kind of tortilla. Before I could say anything waitress bolted away from the table. I think she knew it was wrong. We had to flag down another waiter after looking for ours for ten minutes, rest of the party had almost finished their food by that point. Two other people had incorrect orders as well but chose to deal with it as it wasn't allergies. Finally got correct order and I wish I would have just sent it back with no replacement. Halibut was almost non existent, it was more of a cabbage taco. The rice was gross and tasted old. The beans were bland. When our waitress finally did come back she said nothing about my incorrect meal. She actually became rude and cold, wouldn't even look at us. I had just received correct meal and two others ordered more drinks since we would be staying longer. Took over 20 minutes to get more drinks and she had become so cold that we were all convinced she might have spit in them. New drinks were left untouched and I left hungry. read more

After walking around we wanted to have a little snack so we stopped over this place and ordered a half dozen oysters and bowl of the clam chowder. We were greeted and offered either outdoor or indoor seating. The outdoor seating is heated. So that was nice. The clam chowder was decent. It was topped with dried chives tho which was a no for me. A great place! Menu options were decent and looking at the other food around us, it looked really appetizing! But our tummies just weren't up for a huge meal at this time. read more

We visited Finn's Fish House with a group of six. From the outside, the restaurant gave the impression that it would be a nicer dine-in experience, so we were looking forward to it. When we walked in we weren't greeted right away, although we didn't have to wait too long. The greeting wasn't particularly warm or friendly. We were seated at a very long nook-style table that felt a little odd for dinner conversation and we were somewhat squeezed in, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. We briefly asked about moving but quickly decided against it when the server seemed a bit put out by the request. The restaurant itself was nice, just not quite what we expected based on the exterior. Food & Drinks I wasn't very hungry, so I ordered a bowl of chili. It arrived lukewarm and wasn't even hot enough to melt the cheese on top. The flavor itself was good and nicely spicy, but the temperature was disappointing. I didn't send it back since there were already a few issues with other orders at the table. My daughter ordered a rare steak with vegetables and a baked potato. She said the steak and potato were great, but the vegetables weren't very good. Her husband ordered fish and chips and said they were decent. One of our friends ordered the seared scallops, but they arrived more like a boiled dish mixed with vegetables. They weren't seared at all. It was bad enough that she had to send it back. She reordered the steak, but unfortunately it didn't arrive until after the rest of us had finished eating. She did say the vegetables that came with her steak were much better than the ones my daughter received. Grandson #1 ordered mac and cheese and liked it. Grandson #2 ordered a grilled cheese with bacon. He didn't like it, but I tasted it and thought it was actually pretty good. Service Overall, the service was okay. Nothing spectacular, but friendly enough. Would I Return? Probably not. While it wasn't a terrible experience, there were enough small issues with seating, food preparation, and timing that I would likely keep looking for a better food and dining experience elsewhere. read more

Came back again for my wife's birthday (we came here two years ago for her 40th). The food here is absolutely amazing and fairly priced! The service is why we come here tbh! They are super friendly and very prompt when delivering food or drinks. With it being spring break it was super hectic so the atmosphere was electrifying but in a good way. There is an adult lounge in the back that has video poker and other gambling games, a full bar, plenty of options for beer on tap, and some of the best bartenders I've seen since leaving New Orleans when I moved north. 10/10 every single time. read more

Spent the weekend at seaside and went to Finn's for clams twice (Friday and Saturday) and before leaving for Easter brunch seafood omelette . Food and service is fantastic! Sat in the lounge near the fireplace with Bloody Mary's. read more

I feel like this has a very bad reputation for being a very bad fish place I actually really disagree. I think it's a really nice place to eat. The outside area is lovely, and the waiters are all so kind and the service is super fast! read more

We came here for my brother and sister in laws anniversary. We haven't been to Seaside before and went off Yelp reviews to pick their dinner spot. I don't like to give 2 stars but I truly feel it's an honest review for this place. We were seated in the outdoor patio area, which is heated (also very hot on your head so be prepared for that), which had metal outdoor like patio tables, not the most comfortable or convenient for trying to dine. There was some confusion between the host and servers, which resulted in us waiting 25min before I had to ask if we could order drinks and an appetizer. We were seated right in front of the bar and no one was around us. Yet not one employee asked if our order had been taken. After asking ourselves who our server was, we finally got one and she was great! She knew we'd been forgotten about and got right on it! Food service was quick and she even gave my brother and sister in law a special complementary dessert for their anniversary. Besides her great efforts, the food was sadly bland and proteins were over cooked. read more

This place is always busy, has an amazing patio complete with fire pits, and is in a centralized location in Seaside. We brought a group of 7 in for a Friday night dinner and, as expected, there was about a half hour wait. The menu is fairly extensive and seafood heavy, which is what we were after. Our server was in the weeds from the moment he greeted us and drinks remained empty most of the evening, which did not go unnoticed. Everyone loved their food, but my first dish (The Captain's Feast) was sent back. The seafood was beyond overcooked and was inedible. The Smoked Salmon Ravioli was amazing. The capers and lemon cream sauce meshed well with the smoky salmon. Vibe is beach and the building is big and beautiful. Good service would have given them five stars. read more

After walking around town we stopped here to have lunch. Sat in their outside seating on a beautiful sunny day. Denis was our server and was on top of his game. Started with Sisu Tomcat lager, crab cakes which were very good but didn't like the sauce. Then I had the beet salad and cheese bread which we shared and both enjoyed. My husband got salmon taco's. The salmon was excellent but the taco, bean and rice need some revamping, didn't work together. read more

What a great spot on the coast! Just walking distance from the ocean. We had a bread bowl with clam chowder and it was the best chowder I have ever had! The bread bowl was also fantastic! All the food being served looked wonderful we definitely will be back! read more

I found a blade in my smoked salmon and cheese ravioli. I was at seaside yesterday to get some lunch and wasn't able to finish it. I got it out into a to go box and I'm finding it today. I don't know where this would've came from besides the restaurant. read more

Finn's Fish House - I found a blade in my smoked salmon and cheese ravioli - Seafood Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

Food- we ordered the cheese bread- which was cheesy. BLT with fries, clam chowder in a bread bowl- which they butter the bowl and is a nice touch, kids Alfredo with Parmesan and butter and then our drinks. Overall the food is good! Also note their RANCH is home made which is always a bonus! Service- they have remodeled and it seems their primary focus is the outside seating/ bar. It's a nice set up. Service was a tad slow but it was a Thursday and pretty busy compared to most places. I really enjoyed this and would go back here! read more

I visited Finn's Fish House for lunch recently. I went there specifically for fish and chips. I liked the outdoor seating area a lot and the service was great. I got pacific cod fish and chips along with sweet potato fries. The fish was very good. It was flaky and fresh. The batter was light. The sweet potato fries were on the thicker side and super delicious. Overall, I was happy with my experience at this restaurant and will visit again. read more

Finn's Fish House - Pacific Cod Fish and Chips and Sweet Potato Fries - Seafood Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

Very nice atmosphere. Service great. Food was very good. Rib Eye delish, and fish tacos are huge. Stays open late. Great place.

Just had dinner here with the family a few nights ago and it was a great place to eat. The albacore fish n chips with fries was amazing and the clam chowder bread bowl was also amazing. We also liked the Ruben sandwich. We got a ceviche as and appetizer but it was lousy! Don't order that. It's a bowl of lettuce with a few spoons of a seas food mix but not worth it at all. Nice atmosphere out in the patio with heaters. Overall a nice meal and great quality. read more

Visited for our anniversary. We had a great lunch and drinks. The service is always so nice and tentative. The seafood is fresh and tasty. Clam chowder is thick and delicious. We have come here with family, friends and alone. Food is consistent and always hits the mark. The crab cheesy melt is worth every penny! read more

Who has 2 thumbs, settles into a seaside town, then wants a steak?!? THIS GAL!!! Ok, I blame the salad at lunch and the delectable cows roaming the pastures along our drive from Portland to Seaside! After checking out other restaurants in the very walkable "downtown" area of Seaside, we settled on Finn's. The special Steak and Scampi caught my eye and we were taken back to the lounge near the kitchen to settle into a booth, with a very cool, retro "fire pit" nearby, giving me 70's Chart House vibes(IYKYK). The circular copper table surrounding the crushed glass fire pit had seating for 10 on adorable, short vinyl stools. Great area for happy hour meet ups. But this was well past that time and FOOD was ever gentle on our minds, so we got to the menu - STAT. I went with the afore mentioned special, 12oz ribeye RARE, garlic scampi and fresh seasonal grilled veggies. Hubs selected a nice, simple Fettuccine Alfredo with garlic bread. WOW! Do you have any idea how unusual it is to order a steak rare and actually have it served HOT that way?!? Bravo to the grill master chef on THIS night! The garlic shrimp was also quite tasty, but the seasonal veggies were a complete surprise and a real highlight. So much so that I asked what they were called, "Googled" them right away and ordered the seeds to try and grow them myself. (Pssst...the seeds are still in my garden shed aka garage, but I have faith I will get them in the ground following the next seasonal LA thaw!) The squash was Delicata and had the most tender rind EVER. Slightly sweet, it was perfectly charred and seasoned. There was also a pepper I had never tried before called Sweety Drop Peppers (aka Capsicum Chinense, Pimenta de Bico, Little Red Tear Drop Peppers), a sweet, grape tomato sized pepper with NO FIRE. I professed my new favorite veggies to our server and she remarked she's actually, accidentally, ate an entire jar of the peppers cuz they're just so darn good. Indeed! ...and Hub's Fettuccine would have Alfredo's stamp of approval! You know right away when you see a dish label "Alfredo" if it's correct or not. Firstly, it should NOT be swimming in soupy sauce. It should be a light, creamy, cheesy delight and Finn's is just that. After our very satisfying dinner, we lumbered back to our hotel and fell, full bellied, off to dreamland. A delicious evening at Finn's. Cheers, "CC"! read more

Meh. Finn's is Just the sort of mediocre seafood restaurant you'd expect on the boardwalk of a touristy beach town. It's all about location, so you don't have to try hard to impress with the food. It's really difficult to find decent food "at the beach," whatever beach you find yourself at. This is a nice enough space to eat in, with a heated and covered patio. It was a cold day, and the ceiling heaters really blast. So this was nice. Not much atmosphere to speak of, but it's clean and open. I also have to say that the service was prompt and pleasant. The food though, does not impress. I had the seafood Benedict for breakfast (should have known better). It comes with crab and shrimp, so I'm expecting something kind of luscious and decadent. Fancy eggs Benedict, you know? But the shrimp? Sad. Those ultra tiny "salad" shrimp from a pre-cooked can or a bag. Bottom of the barrel shrimp. Krill, basically. They don't even really look like shrimp. They looked more like dead sea monkeys laying there, drowning in a sea of hollandaise. And the crab? Just flavorless lump crab like you'd get from a can. I paid fluctuating "Market prices" for this "seafood", leanding the impression that this would be fresh, local catches. This place is mere yards from the Pacific Ocean after all. And this is a "fish house". Seafood is their specialty. And with that I discovered I'd been hustled. Scammed. Anyway, this is the review of my first and last visit to Finn's Fish House. read more

Finn's Fish House - Patio seating - Seafood Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

Great food. Love the atmosphere with the fireplace seating. Nice outdoor eating area with its own bar for nice weather days. A couple of my favorites are the omelets at breakfast. I do the build your own. Biscuit instead of toast is a must. Their biscuits are delicious and I've heard their gravy is the best. Can't say first hand as I'm not a biscuits and gravy fan so haven't tried it. Any of their fettuccine dishes will have you leaving happily full. The bar service is the best. All of the bartenders are awesome! read more

We were staying a night in Seaside and decided to try Finn's. The service was very good as we were seated right away and our waitress was prompt and attentive. My husband had the clam chowder which was way too thick and not a lot of flavor. I had halibut on the tacos. They were good, but not a lot of flavor and the halibut was previously frozen. The rice was dry and beans were bearly warm. Not a place I would rush back to. read more

Nice causal restaurant right on the main drag of Seaside Oregon. Seafood menu, Bar side and a back room bar with Casino machines. That was surprising yet fun for the 21+ groups. We were quickly seated outside on patio with a heater above. Food order was quickly taken and served. read more

We have walked by here so many times thinking it was the place for younger people to hang out around the decorative fire tables and laugh while holding hand crafted signature drinks. I was kinda right... I think popular demand brought our family here. So many places are in survival mode here in such a tourist driven atmosphere. You need a lot of sales just to make it. You either drive your prices through the ceiling to make ends meet or you comprise. I guessed by the amount of jewelry our waitress was wearing and how none of them dressed the same, that we had to make a compromise. Our waitress was o.k. Out of 7 people, 3 got Prime Rid. I heard my cousin across the table over kids yelling, Medium Rare for her Prime Rib. She was handed Well Done. It was fixed quickly but while we're all chowing down...she's sitting, waiting. In my day, the waitress ate the cost of that mistake. Sorry but she was clear. The Prime Rib was alright. The pasta looked a little soupy but he ate it all. The "Chef's Salad" was...... small. I felt it could have been done a little better and it was missing another meat and another cheese but he also ate it all and is a simple eater. My niece had a cheeseburger and fries. She loved it. Our waitress dropped off the food and after the 1 mistake, we never saw her till we were done. 1. Here's your food. 2. Here's your check. 3. Next. We could have used a refill on drinks and I wonder if they have a sweets menu. It wasn't terrible but the sign says Finns Fish House right? Maybe I want more. Like more fish options. Anywho. Our family had a decent dinner. Memories were made. read more

Ordered Seafood Fettucini. Tasted like cardboard! Brought it back to my hotel room and had to doctor it up with salt/pepper and butter! The seafood in the pasta felt like it had been freeze dried for weeks! Absolutely NO FLAVOR! Plus... A SKIMPY little piece of garlic bread! Really??? Do Not Recommend this restaurant! read more

Really great place. We went at 10 pm, but they have a full menu until at least midnight which is nice. The crab legs were super fresh and steaming hot, they cracked easily and were juicy. My friends got the chowder which was very flavorful, a fish fry, and the coconut shrimp. Everything was really good. So far this was the best restaurant we've tried in seaside, we were really surprised by the bad reviews. Our server was also amazing and super friendly. read more

Clam Chowder has a weird taste, no good, way too much seasoning...over the top, couldn't eat it. Fish & chips: 3 very small pieces of fish small amount of fries & no cold slaw unless you pay extra. On the other hand the Blackened steak Fettuccine was very good. Norma' was much better! We won't be going back to Finn's. read more

Finn's Fish House - Covered up clam chowder! - Seafood Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

The service was friendly. The outdoor dining area is nice with fire tables and very vibrant. The indoor area lacks charm but is clean. Wish they had seafood combos that included oysters but I ended up going with the seafood Captains platter with two prawns, scallops and three types of fish beer batter. The batter worked for the fish but missed mark with the scallops and shrimp. The Albacore was also way overcooked. I'd also say having vegetables as an option for your side would be novel. The chowder was pretty good although preferred the creamier style (see Crabby Shack review). The kid Mac and cheese looked boxed but was nice to see kid meal options for $6 to $8 bucks as most places now $10 or more. Overall I'd give them a second chance but not a meal to remember read more

The food was delicious, the service was superb, and the manager who accommodated an issue I had with my takeout order was the perfect combination of relatable and eager to resolve the problem. I highly recommend this place, all around! Try the captains seafood combo, and the chowder, which is unique, flavorful and not too salty! Both thumbs way up!! read more

We didn't get a picture of our food because it was so delicious. Me and my girl come here every single time we come for seaside and this is turned out to be one of the best spots we go to on the beach not once have we came here and it was bad food And it's one of the more nicer fancier restaurants that doesn't make you feel all grungy and nasty. We just had the ribeye steak and it was one of the better steaks from any type of steakhouse I've had and I know steak. Coconut prawns are absolutely delicious. I'd recommend this place to anyone. Go check it out for yourself. read more

We visited most recently during the beach volleyball tournament, but we have been here a few times before, both during and off peak hours, so I feel like I have a good basis for a fair and honest review. The wait time to be seated is short, which is surprising considering how busy they always seem to be. However, the greeting from the hostess has never been very welcoming. Our most recent visit, the hostess didn't really even greet us or smile, just asked how many in our party. I get it though, it was hot, working with the public sucks, so I don't take it personal. Once seated, the experience was more pleasant. Our waiter was friendly and attentive for the most part. The food is where this restaurant really shines. We enjoy the calamari, steamed oysters and clam strips. They also make a good BLT if you're not into seafood. The prices are reasonable, and you get large portions. It's a very welcoming environment, especially if you are lucky enough over request to be seated at the fire tables. We chose not to on the day we visited since it was nearly 90°. They offer indoor, outdoor covered and outdoor uncovered seating. We enjoy outdoor uncovered for people-watching as entertainment. Overall we enjoy this restaurant, but I had to dock a star for the first impression the hostess gives. read more

The exterior of Finn's Fish house looks like a high-end, sophisticated dining location. The interior does not match, in decor, service or food. While it looks like they are renovating/fixing up a nice patio area this place was overall lackluster. The prices were high and the food and service middling at best. The batter on all my fish was too thick. The fish in general tasted alright otherwise. It felt like a Chilis or a burger joint, not a nice fish restaurant. Wish we'd looked around for another restaurant. Also, side note, but the restrooms are ridiculous. The ladies room has a big counter with two sinks and one little, cramped stall, but is not a single-lock one-at-a-time room. So every lady that goes to use the restroom walks all the way in, realizes it's occupied and has to walk out to wait because there is no space. Also, they will not split checks, so be prepared. read more

The server was nice but as far food goes, stick to the cheesy bread and a glass of wine. The crab cakes were orange and tasted like salmon. Their special fettuccine was weird with crispy chicken, a glob of cheese on top and it was hard to find the crab. The food came out fast...too fast and not in a good way. There are issues in the kitchen and clearly a management issue somewhere. read more

Husband and I decided on our last night in Seaside that we wanted some fish. He wanted halibut fish and chips and I wanted some regular halibut. Finn's ended up being our choice for the evening after looking all the menus of similar restaurants. The atmosphere is great and you can choose to sit indoors or outdoors. Relaxed restaurants with great food and service. I ordered the pesto cream sauce halibut with tomatoes (that's not the official name but close). It came with a starchy side (I chose garlic mashed potatoes) and roasted veggies. It was soooo good! I ate up every last bite. The potatoes were not very garlicky but I survived. My husband wasn't sure if he'd like the breading they used on the fish and chips but it ended up he really enjoyed it. It was thick and crispy and tasty. The only part I didn't love was the lemonade I ordered. There was just something off with it. I think it was from a mix and not fresh. Other than that, it was really good! read more

The food was really good! The chowder was wonderful and exactly what you wanted from an ocean trip getaway. The fish on the tacos was amazing too!
