Fin & Fino

Fin & Fino is Jon Dressler’s social seafood house on Levine Avenue of the Arts in Uptown, across from the Mint Museum and the Bechtler. The room is modern and built around a raw bar, with a sherry list and a menu of small plates meant to be passed around instead of ordered one per person. The move here is to hand the menus back and ask for The Treatment, which lets the kitchen send out a tasting tour. The staff carry the Dressler group’s reputation for warmth, and the room stays lively without getting loud enough to shout over. Lunch runs on weekdays.
