Fin Boys

It is a supreme dining experience. Starting from the self made black butter which matches with the bread perfectly. And then the oysters are so fresh, and the sauce brings out another layer of freshness. You can watch how the chef prepares the dishes in the open kitchen, which is a joy as well. We tried John Dory and Halibut, both dishes again match with the sauce and the side perfectly. If you don't mind a bit of texture, I would recommend Halibut, it brings you different layers of tastes when it stays long enough in your mouth. We were already thinking about our next visit when we were still enjoying the main dishes.

Compliments to the chef for the absolutely excellent execution of the tasting menu. Everything was delightful - from the Black Butter, to every single fish creatively matched with bursts of delightful flavours and texture. Considering further that the menu changes on a weekly basis, this is an amazing display of talent on the chefs and their team. We enjoyed every dish, and relished the buildup of flavours from one dish to the next as a wonderful sensory experience for our palates. Well worth the value.Compliments also to the service crew for the attentive service with a smile. Each one of them made us feel welcomed and were delightful to interact with. Thank you for the wonderful evening!

Fantastic meal! I cycle past Fin Boys on my commute and it always looks packed. The tasting menu was amazing and the flight of wine a revelation (the chilled red with the turbot worked so well).

Fabulous addition to the Cambridge food scene! Inventive, delicious combinations of flavours, simply prepared and making use of the abundant, fresh seafood from the British coast. Add to that a well curated wine list tailored to fit. All housed in a restaurant with a cool, vaguely U.S. West Coast vibe, and prepared by guys who really care about what they're doing. The final gift is the Basque Cheesecake, a plate of which may well be my last request before I shuffle off my mortal coils..... Bravo.

Amazing food, highly recommended for seafood lovers. Staff and service were great too

Food was bomb!! I had the lobster with breadcrumbs and it was one of the best things I have ever had. One thing that can use an improvement though. The waitress did not seem to be very knowledgeable. We did not understand the menu and ask if it was fish and she said yes. Turned out the pasta dish we ordered was vegetarian. I understand that they just recently opened but the staff should be trainedTo the owner that suggested that I went to a wrong restaurant.Please look at my photos. The plate is exactly the same as the plates from your restaurant. I went there 2 years ago likely on the first day. Maybe YOU got the wrong place?

Overpriced with hits and misses.Tuna Tataki. The first bite is a little fishy, but the rest is fine. Not as sweet as expected for fresh fish but neutral. The spicy peanut butter compensates the lack of flavor. Not too different from my poke bowl I’d say.Portland white crab is alright. The crab itself is naturally sweet and fresh-tasting, but the marinated cucumber somehow overshadows the natural flavor of the crab. (My friend got a small piece of shell.)Lemon sole is absolutely beautiful. Very tender, nicely seasoned with lemony butter, which complements the fish well without overpowering it. The fish is large, but we didn’t get tired of eating— from 2-star to 3-star thanks to the lemon sole.The monkfish, however, is a little disappointing. It’s on the drier side and lacks flavor. Perhaps the thicker fish works better with a sauce rather than dry rub. The seasoning of the veggies is a little too sweet.The sides and desserts do not look appealing (and the chef looked more disappointed than I was because I ordered “only” mains and starters). I would have appreciated more simple veggies/salads. The ones on the menu are too heavy to go with the fish.I did add sourdough to go with the meal. The seaweed butter is lovely. Creamy with a touch of the sea.Environment-wise, while I always enjoy watching the process of creating culinary art and smelling good food, ventilation is a problem. One cooker hood at the far end away from the stove isn’t enough.I expected more at this price level. Maybe it wasn’t a good day, but a good establishment needs consistency, even with frequently changing menus. Perhaps this one too ambitious for now :)

If you’re into seafood - and especially ethically sourced, responsibly caught and sustainably fished - then this is the place for you. The 10 course tasting of an evening is a culinary experience of flavours and textures with every course offering something completely different. You won’t leave hungry - but this is gluttony either. A warm and welcoming environment with friendly staff, who have a great knowledge of the food and flavours, as well as complimentary wine pairings should you want a tipple. Nice little selection of craft beers too. All round I could see myself coming here again. The whole experience took a leisurely two hours. If you’re not a fan of high-top counter/stall dining be sure to request a more traditional table. But for us it added to the experience being able to watch the food cooked and prepared by the chefs. The menu will change regularly based on fishing conditions, what’s in season etc. The sample menu online is only indicative of what your dining experience might entail. The couple next to us had allergies and seemingly the kitchen was well prepared to cater for them still. 10/10!

Fin Boys is always a guarantee for delicious seafood cooked and presented to perfection. Everything was so flavoursome and beautiful, I always return home satisfied ^^This time I have only a very very small piece of advice to give. When a dish is spicy, please highlight it somehow on the menu, because is not always clear (I could not detect in the description of the scallops on soumen the presence of spice).

This restaurant is a must for all seafood lovers; if you don’t go you’ll have lost out on a seafood adventure ! The flavours were extraordinary and each dish in the tasting menu was sensational . We shall be back !
