GW Fins

Known For

Market-driven fin fish dishes that change before you can memorize the menu

GW Fins approaches seafood with a chef's restlessness — the menu shifts with what's freshest, and the garden vibes of the outdoor seating area set a calm, unhurried tone. Bring someone worth impressing.

Our Take

GW Fins brings a garden-adjacent calm to what is otherwise a very serious seafood kitchen, and the eggs Benedict here has earned genuine devotion from repeat visitors. The score reflects a place that excels at its core mission but leans more refined-restaurant than visually distinctive brunch spot.
