With Diane I visited here for the first time. I was pleased to see Bacon Deviled Eggs on the menu for a starter. The egg halves were filled with leaking egg yolk and bacon, and were creamy and very good. Diane found Peggy's Crispy Chicken Sandwich to be too spicy for her taste, even though she was told when ordering that this chicken was not spicy. But my Pastrami Rueben was moist, lean, and just right. I liked the Regular French fries better than the Truffle French Fries. Service was friendly and responsive. Booth seating was comfortable. And thumping piped in music created an enjoyable backdrop. We closed the place the night we were there!

Blackened Ahi sandwich is amazing I see why it's a favorite here. Flavor is great and it's not one of those sandwiches where you get more bread than anything. I would love to try other items on the menu but I know I'll just want this sandwich every time. Truffle Parm fries are good very seasoned which I like because what's a truffle parm fry if you can't taste the truffle. The yuzu buffalo was good, mild. I only regret not asking for more sauce. Also not pictured was the hibiscus marg which was so good and didn't taste artificial. The Finney's Pale Ale tasted soooo tropical, I'm not a beer lover but that was great. Service was great, did not feel at all rushed even though our names weren't called till 20/30 minutes to closing so that was nice. I always feel so bad but after an hour wait time we were determined to finally try this since it came in to town. Over all we would come back again.

I enjoyed my drink and food order. It was all so delicious. The service and ambiance were also great. Even though it was busy, it didn't feel crowded around our table. I'm looking forward to coming back!

The grilled mahi mahi tacos are amazing! Service has always been great as well. I have only gone at lunchtime, because dinner is always so busy (that's a good thing), but the ambiance during that time has been just fine.

Unlike the outside finished stone and dark glass appearance, the inside has a warmer vibe with dark wood exposed ceiling rafters, weathered red brick walls, distressed dark wood columns but with the pop of a very light floor and bleached wood table tops (see my interior pics). The interior lighting features the bar and "Old Glory" in the background. The vibe was very upbeat, very loud and peppy music. The staff was quick and attentive. We started with the Buffalo Cauliflower (it's tagged as one of the "Finney's Favorites"). As you can see in my pic, the cauliflower was nicely cut up, battered and deep fried. The breading was fairly light and it was deep fried all the way through. Of course, the cauliflower doesn't have much taste, and unfortunately neither did the breading. The fried cauliflower was drizzled with very weak Louisiana hot sauce (similar to Frank's hot sauce). This sauce and the blue cheese crumbles helps. Our side was more of the light Louisiana hot sauce. Barely visible in my pic, is a thin layer of Yuzu (a sweet, sharp, salty fruity) sauce under the fried cauliflower. While creamy, its flavor was very, very mild and made the cauliflower on it soggy. We also shared the Moroccan Salad (it's tagged as one of the "Finney's Favorites"). As you can see from my pic, this had an abundant variety of ingredients. It had all the requisite ingredients from Morocco. The dried cherries were the main palate pleaser: they added a nice chew to the greens and a burst of flavor to contrast with the feta cheese. The charred lemon vinaigrette was refreshingly lemony and tangy. We followed this with the Sausage & Garlic pizza (we asked to have the chili flakes omitted), see my pic. The flat bread pizza was a good sized individual pizza. The flat bread crust was nicely thin, yet universally cooked with a great crunch. It held up very well with the moist cheese. There were was a great chew with the crust. The garlic in the garlic parmesan cheese was nonexistent. The sausage was moist but fairly bland. The onions had a mild flavor. Next time we'd keep the pepper flakes on our order. The pie was served hot and kept its heat throughout the meal. We took leftovers home, and it was good the next day.

Everything here was amazing. Food was awesome, drinks were GREAT, good taste in music, it was just loud because of so many people there. It was jam packed and we waited about an hr to be seated but it was so worth it, the only thing is i wish the table was bigger because we ordered so many drinks and apps and the table was tiny. Thank you to our server and food runner for being so knowledgeable about the menu and being so helpful and nice during our visit. Everything got to our table so fast and it was the highlight of our weekend after a long work week. Thank you Jennifer and Austin!!! You two are amazing and we hope to get the same people serving us next time ??? we got the baby yoda shot, gummy bear shot and the hard kombucha. So good!!!

Small portions of food. Cocktails were pretty good. I got the smoked old fashioned and it did hit the spot. The fig mountain Mexican lager was good too but I don't know about the fig mountain ipa because they wouldn't let us have it. They don't have a last call per policy!? Bizarre! Welcome to Redlands Finney.

This spot has Orange County Crafthouse vibes in an old Redlands bank with a mini arcade in the safety deposit box room. What else could you want? The food is honestly very, very good. The taps have great options and the margarita flights are worth the stop alone. They have the best pretzel appetizer I think I've ever had, and the carnitas nachos are way too good. I don't think they've got a dud on the entire menu. If you come on a busy night, you can expect a wait... but it's worth it. You can order a drink in the seating area before the bar while you wait for your table if you'd like to. Pro-tip: walk to A La Minute for ice cream afterwards. There is also a comic book store, children's book store, toy shop, and board game shop all on state street one block over.
Came here today for the first time and food and service was great. Definitely will come back again. Happy hour is so worth it

First time visiting this place. There are lots of free parking spaces available. Expect to wait for a table here. We sat at the bar, and the bartender took more than 10 mins to wipe our dirty spot and ask us for our orders. She was just chatting with her colleague, drinking redbull.Chicken wings tasted good and pretzel was soft and not overly salted.

If you’re being waited by a caucasian red head lady with arm tattoos, ASK TO BE CHANGED to a different waiter. Considering the prices of the food, the attitude we were subjected to was terrible, barely talked to us, never said anything, and stormed off whenever we made requests for sides or to notify her that SHE TOOK OUR ORDER WRONG.

I have been here a few times and every time the service and food has been top tier! The waiters go above and beyond and are VERY attentive. The food is absolutely delicious, I have yet to experience a menu item that I did not love. The atmosphere is perfect. Very chill, fun and classy all at the same time. Would highly recommend this establishment!
