Named after the bird that populates nearly every port along the ancient maritime spice routes, Spice Finch pays homage to a passerine that does not sing, yet is known to vocalize or chirp in recognition of good eats. We are inspired by the distinctive flavors of the nations bordering the Mediterranean Sea, and heavily influenced by the cultures and culinary traditions of Morocco and Greece. Our menu is a bold, seasonally accurate menu featuring an array of small plates, vegetables, grilled meats and fish.

Our group of four women enjoyed 3 entrées (lamb ribs, chicken, streak frites) and 2 appetizers (cauliflower and little gem salad, ALL delicious and beautifully presented. Portions were generous. Atmosphere lively on a Fri night but allowed for mostly audible conversation. Our server was upbeat and efficient. Our 5:45 reservation was perfect timing for a 7:30 concert. Cost $150 before tip. Go! I believe you’ll enjoy it.

We did the Chef’s Tasting and it was phenomenal. Our table had a number of allergies and they were able to cater to them all.

I’ve already responded for another request, so I won’t do it again. If you know who was likely to have asked first, please go ask them for my feedback. This level of repeated surveying is ridiculous.

I am so delighted with Spice Finch. I highly recommend it understanding that it may make it more in demand and tougher to get a reservation. The wait staff is incredible, especially Danielle, but all do a fantastic job.
