    Lovely people manage and work at this special restaurant, food is creative and delicious, (although a teensy bit rich). We had a great time and thank Jeff, Ethan and the rest of the staff for creating a casual, charming atmospheric restaurant in Frenchtown. Our out of town guests had a wonderful time!

    We have been to Finnbar a few times and have always had great food and service, but on Saturday we had our most stellar dinner yet! The "Very crunchy winter vegetable salad" sounds basic and good for you, but it is out of this world, very creative and incredibly tasty. We would go back for this dish alone! And the wines are always superb! We just returned from a few days in NYC where we ate well, but nothing compared to the ambience and food at Finnbar in little Frenchtown, New Jersey.

    Our 3rd visit to Finnbar, each time we are very happy. Our server, Kristy was friendly, informative and very nice. We sat in the dining area which was very comfortable. The dinner was excellent.

    We have now eaten at Finnbar several times since its opening several months ago. It is such a wonderful dining experience with fabulous food, a warm and friendly atmosphere, a delightful staff, and its setting in the lovely community of Frenchtown is a perfect destination any time of year. We give special kudos to Stephanie who makes the most amazing chocolate pot de creme! We would come to Finnbar if it was the only thing on the menu!
