    Gw Fins Restaurant Review Gw Fins is truly a gem! We recently dined there to celebrate an early retirement, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The atmosphere was sophisticated yet welcoming, ideal for such a special occasion. The star of the evening was undoubtedly the food. We had the swordfish and the Ahi Tuna, and both dishes were over the top in terms of flavor and presentation. The swordfish was perfectly cooked with a delicate, buttery texture, while the Tuna was an absolute standout – fresh, vibrant, and bursting with bold flavors. Every bite felt like a celebration in itself. The service was impeccable, with the staff making us feel genuinely celebrated. From thoughtful wine pairings to their attention to detail, they elevated the experience to another level. Gw Fins exceeded all expectations and made our milestone celebration unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking exceptional seafood and a memorable dining experience!

    We went to the chophouse to celebrate a friend’s birthday. First of all the restaurant is beautiful. The service was second to none. The waiter was there every time we needed him, but not in our face. I ordered the bone in filet mignon, it was the most tender steak I’ve ever had. One of the best things was that we brought two bottles of wine and they don’t charge a corkage fee. Overall, it was a great experience and a great birthday dinner.

    We went the Monday before Christmas. We had a party of 6 and everyone loved the meal. Appetizers to desert. We were doing our family Christmas tradition of Réveillon Meal. From the steak, scallops, and blackened redfish dishes we were all pleased. The place is beautiful and we all enjoyed the evening. We have been doing this for twenty years and this was one of the best. I hope they continue to offer this every year.
