Fin

[smayman]

Haven't seen much mention of Fin in Dupont in the forums, but then again it's new. Does anyone have any opinions they'd like to share?

I haven't been. Sietsema doesn't like it (or at least has said so in his chats).

Eve didn't hate it.

I'll go against common wisdom and say that I had a perfectly decent meal at the bar at Fin a few months ago. I can't remember exactly what I had (something simple like soup and a crabcake perhaps?), but I remember leaving being pleasantly surprised. I had actually stopped in last Tuesday to say hello to the GM (now posting on eGullet), but they looked pretty busy, so I left that for next time.

Cheers,

Rocks.

The Mrs. and I ate there about two months ago. It was perfectly decent, but so uninspiring that we both agreed we wouldn't return. It's been so long since we were there, but the examples of the lack of inspiration include the wine list. Very tame. Very pedestrian. Nothing that makes you want to jump out of your seat. I recall choosing a sparkling wine by the glass, perhaps Columbia Crest, which was their best offering.

The meals were the same. There was no harmony between the fish and its counterpart sides on the plate. I'm sorry I'm not more helpful, but it's just been too long since I was there. It surely won't kill you if you go, but you'll likely walk out saying...ho hum.

In an aside, I tried to do a search here on Fin before we went, but because it only has three letters, the egullet system wouldn't allow the search.

I had the same problem! Very frustrating.

The Post profile and reviews were not terrible. They were better recently. Maybe I'll have to try it for myself.
