This place is magnificent, with a very harmonious and peaceful atmosphere, good music and a good vibe. The food is exquisite (the mushroom toast and shrimp ceviche were appetizers, and I enjoyed the other dishes, like the seafood paella). I highly recommend it and will return to try other Spanish dishes.

I love this location and every small restaurant that has this location. The patio is lovely when weather permits. Finca has a wonderful paella, papatas bravas, and the halibut is outstanding. I loved the tapas and look forward to returning. Next time I will eat family style.

An old friend said we should go here and we loved it! We had dinner outside on the red brick patio where ivy grew all around. To start, we got the ceviche made with halibut, citrus, jalapeno, cucumber, and fresh herbs, with house made tortilla chips Next, we tried the patatas bravas. They were so crispy and well seasoned. The bravas sauce was so creamy with just the right heat to it and perfect with the crispy potatoes. The aioli was good too, but the bravas sauce is where it's at. For our main dish we shared a Paella de Valenciana. I would describe this dish as being a true comfort food. It's flavorful and not too heavy, and there was plenty for two to share and take some leftovers home. We ordered an apple chimichanga for dessert. While it was good quality, it was not a favorite for us.

Will return. A little hideaway gem. A local friend took us there. It was a reunion of four boat mates in 2022, with the fourth mate came in from New York. The weather was so cooperating, after raining yesterday and much of today, we actually went into the restaurant under the blue skies. This Spanish tapa place is homey and small, with outdoor tables, in a lovely neighborhood, by owner Owner Scott Evans. We've warm olives, two salads and the shrimp: all are really good. And the churros are to die for: light and fluffy!

Tapas, Vibes, and a Fireplace: A Night at Finca We’d heard the buzz about Finca and its tapas, so we came hungry—and it did not disappoint. It’s a small, charming spot that feels like a converted house, complete with a fireplace and warm, welcoming energy. We walked in on a Monday without a reservation and were seated right away. It was too chilly for the patio (which looks amazing), but we’ll definitely be back for that. The hostess was lovely, and our server asked if it was our first time (it was!). He walked us through the menu and shared a few of his personal faves—much appreciated when the tapas options are endless. We started with our usual: a glass of white for me, red for my other half, and then dove into the menu. First up: Jamón Serrano. When they say it comes with chips, they mean it literally—it’s served in an actual bag of chips, brand and all. A+ presentation and even better flavor. Next: Tosta de Camarones. Grilled bread topped with a very generous portion of shrimp. We used the leftover chips from the first dish to scoop some up, and the combo was unexpectedly perfect. Then came the Mejillones (mussels). A must-order for us whenever it’s on a menu. Huge portion, perfectly cooked, and served with grilled bread to soak up that crave-worthy broth. Last: Patatas Bravas. A classic, but Finca nails it. Crispy, spicy, addictive. We were full but tempted to keep going. Finca may be small, but it brings big flavor and cozy charm. Already planning our next visit—this time with friends and some patio time.

We weren't sure what to expect when we arrived, but the food here was fantastic. It is Spanish Tapas and small plates (there are also main entrees, but we stuck to small plates), and every single one was incredible. My husband and I went on a trip to Barcelona 2 months ago and had plenty of food on our visit, but I must say, this was better than anything we had in coastal Spain. It was obvious that the chef takes great pride in their creations as they were well made and served fresh to our table. We loved it, and give this our highest recommendation. It is a small, older repurposed home, so seating is limited. Make sure to make a reservation in advance. You won't regret it!
