My new favorite breakfast place! Fantastic patio, great service and delicious food. I created my own omelet and had hash browns and their homemade sourdough toast (the "sour" was perfectly balanced) - yummy! Their coffee was also delicious- smooth but not watered down.

Got a seat for two right away, the staff was very friendly and attentive. The food came out fast and it was very tasty. Would definitely recommend this place for brunch.

The food is fantastic! The service is amazing! I've tried a lot of the menu and it truly is a gift from the food gods. Very consistent and the Christmas bread is yummy. Go try the trout for breakfast, I totally loved it.

The food is so good and all the little details here are well thought through. There was a short wait when we got there and when we went outside to wait, there were some white fur coverings on the seats so it wasn't like you had to sit on a cold chair! Also, they had coffee for you while you're waiting! Finn jr. is so kind; he took the time to talk with us and you can tell he works very hard.

A Salt Lake brunch favorite. I have been going to Finn's for the last 8 years. Their food is always great. They have lots of gluten free options. This time we went with a group of 5 and everyone left satisfied. However, if you are looking for mimosas, Finn's is not your place, they don't service alcohol. But they do have coffee available while you wait for your table. I will definitely be visiting again.

Good Atmosphere/setting and good place to eat a small meal. This place is definitely a hipster/college setting with its location, which I don't have a problem with, but it could be busy from time to time. The setting is nice and all the employees seemed nice, they all wore white outfits which I thought was different and unique. The food is priced around $10 which is good; but unless you get the burger and fries, don't expect to get alot of food. Which is fine, but personally I like to get a ton of food where I can't finish when I go out to eat. They also have small things I don't like, like drinks other than water are $4 Taste wise, the food was good. I didn't cry because it was so good, but it was just good. The place has a vibrant, young atmosphere. Which I think is the biggest up it has for it. But if I was extremely hungry and had a large appetite, I would have to go somewhere else.

I had never heard of Finn's prior to going and by chance, stopped to eat. The wait wasn't terrible and parking was a little tough for a truck, which I didn't expect but should have given it's location. Compact cars are better suited for the lot. Anyway, on to the experience. Coffee when you first walk in, which is INCREDIBLE. I love that I could sip on some coffee before I was seated, it helped with the wait. I love that every single waiter had amazing body art. I love tattoo's and the diversity of the art was awesome to see. Food was quick and all made from scratch. Favorite thing, that i had to order more of to share - the mini toast. Crazy, i know. My kids were stealing my toast because they saw the homemade raspberry jam. As an adult I still have permanent retainers and seeds got stuck behind them but I still wanted more! Feta omelet was amazing and the burger was a fave of my kids. That raspberry jam - find a reason to get it on something or just ask for it. You won't regret it, I promise you.

Absolutely love this place. I'm from San Francisco and visit our son frequently. There are a lot of good breakfast spots to choose from but this is our favorite. Great clean food, nice space and awesome service!

This is a fantastic local small-business owned and operated brunch spot! The service was swift, the trout was tasty. If you don't know what to order, ask the wait staff. We tried the Scandinavian breakfast, the julekaka French toast, chicken and waffles and an eggs benedict. No one complained or left much of anything on their plates! It was scrumptious. The Onion roll was super fresh made in house and one of my most favorite things that I tried there. The meatball soup was a hit with my son (who loves soup). The restaurant was clean and bright with a fresh plants outside and nods to Norwegian design. My toddler adored rubbing the gnome's nose in the glass entry.
