   I have gone to Goldfinch numerous times. I brought my family this time. The drinks were well presented and very good. We had the brussel sprouts and tuna tower as appetizers. They were excellent. My wife got the dish tacos. She was disappointed that the portion of fish provided was insufficient. Seems very cheap to go light on somewhat of an expensive fish taco. Otherwise she said hers was fine. The pork chop was good but not great. It is truly a double pork chop and very filling. The waiter was good and accommodating but was a little slow and did not communicate as well as you might expect. I’m overall o would still go back and give it a good rating.

   Goldfinch was excellent! The filet mignon was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful. The service was attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

   I love this place, food is generally very good. I do think your Picaña though needs to be revised. There is way too much garlic in this dish. I was not kissable for the rest of the night. Also I would serve the salad on a separate bowl. The salad comes with a lot of vinagrete that unfortunately get’s into the steak when it’s all on the same dish. I love steak but all I could taste was vinegar..

   Great ambiance & very pleasant dining experience overall! Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Food is descent. Slightly on the overpriced side. Parking is easy with the large parking structure right next door. Will definitely come back.

   We had a great experience overall. The short ribs were so good, just needed some more mashed potatoes and veggies. We also order the artichokes with goat cheese as an appetizer- that was kind of disappointing. Barely anything for $17 and definitely not even sauce. The other dish we ordered was seasonal- the burrata bolognese. The sauce needed a lot of work, it was very watery and didn’t have a lot of taste. The pasta was fresh but overcooked. Our waiter was GG and he was so awesome! Five stars to him. It was pretty loud in there for a Tuesday night.
