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 server, Gracie, was a delight and took exceptional care of me while dining with food allergies. The roasted cauliflower is a new obsession. I only wish we’d had room to try the desserts. I guess I’ll have to go back!
