Enter through wrought iron gates into a European courtyard and discover a charming world that is Finch’s Bistro & Wine Bar The owners of Finch’s have created a serene, intimate space where guests can escape from the real world and relax, drink great wine, enjoy live music, and eat some of the best food around at very moderate prices. The overriding concept was to offer an upscale dining experience at casual dining prices, and this is evident from the moment you are graciously seated at your table with crisp linens, water carafes with fresh lemons as stoppers, and black and white finch salt and pepper birds. It is these quirky touches and attention to detail that is the guiding spirit behind La Jolla’s coolest new hotspot – a cozy, romantic, friendly place bathed in sunny yellow hues offset by crisp black and white striped fabrics. The menu is packed with unusual eclectic offerings, each dish cooked to perfection. From the ever popular Lamb Romana, served with braised asparagus and Finch’s signature crispy potato rounds, to the delicious “Meat and Potatoes” – Finch’s version of a tender filet mignon served with Gorgonzola potato risotto and roasted garlic spinach, to the signature Finch Burger, plump juicy mussels, and sinfully delicious chocolate French toast sandwich with maple bourbon bacon ice cream, guests are raving.
