Fin Boys in Cambridge

The food was good, although after hearing many good reviews I was a bit disappointed. Expected to be wowed, as the speciality is fish. However, the main I had was very bland. Our friends confirmed it is usually of higher standard. Perhaps the chef was having an off night. Unfortunately due to the expense, I wouldn’t rush back. I have dined at similar priced restaurants (serving fish) and preferred. None the less an enjoyable evening. Although the service was good, I was also shocked by high % service charge.

If you are looking for truly exceptional food and drink in an intimate and clean environment then look no further. Came here for a birthday lunch and every course was served within excellent time and each dish presented fresh and delicate flavours (if you don’t get the oysters you are really missing out) The team keep a clean and efficient ship whilst providing truly exceptional service. If I could, I would dine here breakfast lunch and dinner every day. Can’t say enough great things, thank you Jess for looking after us during our visit.

Dine in for 1, Oct 2024. Do make a reservation. I enjoyed the window seat as it was great lighting (even when rainy) and very peaceful. This was a hearty lunch but I ate all of it but 2pc of sourdough. Next time I don’t need that much food (bread). Sourdough - 6.8/10 - 4 large slices warm bread with big heap of black butter. Black butter was savory and interesting and I kept coming back for more. Crumpet with crab - 5.8/10 - HEAVY and suuuper peppery. You can’t really taste the crab, just the pepper. The crumpet was thick and dense but fluffy, but with the thick cacio Pepe sauce it was just too much. 6 oysters - 7.8/10 - first one was very gritty but the remaining 5 were good. The “fin vin” was a bit too overpowering with the sesame oil so I overdid the first one, second one, and the third one (decreasing every time). By the forth I just dipped the spoon, and flicked two tiny drops and it was better. The other two I just enjoyed with lemon and they were lovely. Mussel dashi - 9.4/10 - wow. What a combo of flavors! I didn’t know what to expect but this is more like a hearty bowl of soup. I found the green olives made it a touch too salty, they were also the only things I left in the bowl (but alas, I don’t love olives so if you do I’m sure you will find it to be delicious). The squash and mussels and dashi were the stars tho. Big juicy mussels and perfectly soft and almost mushy in the best way. The dashi, although a tad salty was incredible and I finished every last drop. I would Service - friendly but incredibly slow. I guess it’s good they don’t rush you. Over 15min or downtime btwn finishing the oysters and getting the mussel dashi. Would definitely come back and try more items.

Excellent food. Inventive enough with fantastic produce and great technique. Easily one of the top restaurants in Cambridge. V good value tasting menu at £85

Nice enough food, some dishes were great, others underwhelming with little flavour. Slightly misleading advertising, you would be lead to belive that fin boys use the freshest from individual day boats, yet the halibut that we had was actually farmed. I have never come across farmed halibut, and I do not support the fish farming industry, a reason for choosing this restaurant. The wine pairing was good as was the service. An extractor fan would be a good edition as everything is cooked in the same room as the diners. (Edit after responce from owner) I fully understand about the halibut farming process, I listened intently as you proudly informed me of the process which I didn't know existed. A sad revelation. Work needed responding to your customers you can't be wrong can you ! I didnt leave the restaurant all evening, maybe another unhappy customer ?

Stand-out courses, apart from the iconic prawn toast, were the scallops and the halibut (beautiful emulsion)

Second time I’ve been and neither time disappointed! Incredibly yummy food! So many flavours that you can really pick out. Everything tasted so fresh. The basque cheesecake was delicious and to my surprise they make it in house! Service is nice and polite and love that we can ask anyone questions about the food and they know the answers. Love sitting at the bar, too. Thanks

What a fantastic meal!!! Loved everything about it!! Owner and staff fantastic and the selection of wine was perfect to match the amazing food.

Prawn toast and crab cakes was delicious. The flavors was just incredible. Thank you 🙏🏾

Very interesting seafood menu. Top quality fish and shellfish with Japanese and European fusion vibes. It’s great to sit at the counter bar while watching the chefs cooking. Good food with no frills.

Birthday celebration was a disappointment. The friendly staff and pleasant ambience couldn't hide the average cooking; hake was fussily dressed in a sliver of zucchini yet was mushily overcooked on the outside and pink in the middle.

Best restaurant in Cambridge. I've tried almost all of them, including two of the eight Michelin Star restaurants and this is by far, the best restaurant I have been to. Even the lunch experience is superior to everything in town. They have a fantastic wine list and the expertise to pair each dish accordingly. Truly unbelievable place. When are they getting a star? The staff are card carrying kitchen wizards.

A great relaxing atmosphere with warm friendly staff that make you instantly welcomed. This restaurant is the complete package as the food is also outstanding.

We had the pleasure of dining at Finboys restaurant this evening and we were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional seafood experience they offered. The dishes were prepared with perfectionist precision, yet without overcomplicating the flavors or the ambiance. The portion sizes were just right, allowing us to savor each bite without feeling overwhelmed. The combination of fish we had, including, oysters, monkfish and hake, showcased the unique flavors of each ingredients while complementing each other beautifully. It was evident that great care and attention to detail went into crafting each dish. Having dined at various five-star restaurants in various places ,we can confidently say that your establishment stands out as truly exceptional. The culinary team deserves all the credit for creating such a memorable dining experience. The cost of the food was well worth the exceptional quality and artistry. We would also like to extend our gratitude to the waitresses and the person who came up with the baby chair idea for our daughter. Their warm hospitality and thoughtfulness made our dining experience even more enjoyable. For those who appreciate and understand the intricacies of fine seafood, I highly recommend this restauranbt t. Colin.

Fin Boys catered for us at home to celebrate a family birthday and I would highly recommend them. They catered for 8 of us, discreetly cooking a delicious tasting menu in our home, taking care of everything and creating a very special evening for us. Not only was the food incredible but it was the small touches, from laying the table to telling us the detail behind every dish. We felt thoroughly spoiled and we hope to repeat the experience in the future!

What a fantastic experience! Service was spectacular, food was really tasty and well explained. I liked the pace the plates were coming at. I particularly loved the nioki, the bread and the dessert. Definitely coming back, thank you ❤️

Very fresh dishes, fish well cooked. However, bones in the dishes which caused my father to choke. Staff didn’t do much or apologise when it occurred, in fact they made us feel like we had caused the issue and were unwelcome. Ruined what could have been an otherwise nice experience.

One of Cambridge's top destinations for foodies.

As an Australian it’s very hard to find good food in Cambridge, but this was SO good. Recommend the tasting menu with the matching wines.

We had a fantastic lunch at Fin Boys on a day trip to Cambridge from London. The service was warm and friendly. Loved sitting at the counter watching the chefs in action! This is definitely a spot that requires booking in advance. Everything was delicious - we shared three snacks (prawn toast, crab crumpet, handrolls), two mains (Scallops and Monk fish) and both the sides (tomato salad and potato salad). Would recommend all the dishes we tried. I was sad to leave without trying dessert but we were so full!! Make sure to order a bottle of the reisling! Worked well with all our dishes.

Favorite restaurant in Cambridge so far! Went there on my birthday, fresh ingredient only needs simple light seasoning to deliver the big flavours. Definitely coming back!

We did the weekend tasting menu. I couldn’t recomend it more! Amaizing food, wine and all round great experience. Thanks Richard and team.

I went for lunch (pre-booked) and went a la carte ordering 3 dishes, costing me in total £60 ish including the service charge. The food quality was good and I wouldn't say amazing. The eel soup got tiny bones. They didn't even proactively offering a waiver of service charge for that kind of fault, as a fine-dining restaurant it was a shame (for the price they are charging, it is comparable to No. 22nd and I will rank it as a fine-dining restaurant and benchmark against the likewise). Mediocre service and the staff doesn't even say goodbye when I was leaving....

Fantastic restaurant. Very friendly staff. The starters and smaller dishes, especially the Lobster were next level.

These guys have extremely tasty fish. Perfect umami, perfect prawn toast. Nice staff.

Very much enjoyed the tasting menu and wine pairing last night. Stand out items were the wild garlic and squid ink butter on lovely bread and the prawn toast that oozed deliciousness! Loved sitting at the bar and seeing the chefs at work. Would love it if the restaurant would put the Dessimis Pinot Grigio 2021 on the wine list!

Jay Rayner was correct. This place is wonderful. We sat at the bar watching the action. What they produce from the small kitchen is incredible. So good we rebooked

Fantastic fish, great service and lovely atmosphere! Couldn’t recommend this place enough! The food and wine was delicious, made under our very eyes! We will definitely be back. It’s on the pricier side but some tasty cheaper dishes, and considering the Cambridge foodscape definitely worth spending a little extra to get something really delicious.

We went for lunch on Saturday and it was lovely. The bread and black butter were very tasty and we had fun trying to remember the ingredients making the butter so umami! We all really enjoyed the eel, absolutely delicious - both tender and full of flavour. Great fish cookery on the mains, vegetables and sauces well-matched, and a great pudding (not too sweet). As the staff pointed out, they are fish cooks not baristas, but that gave us an excellent excuse to walk further along Mill Road in the glorious sunshine to get a coffee. Staff were really nice too - helpful but not overbearing. Thank you!

My new favourite Cambridge restaurant. Outstanding food, perfectly paired with excellent but very affordable wines, perfect service and a warm, relaxed atmosphere. What more could you ask for? (Oh, and order the prawn toast, it’s amazing!)

Very competent kitchen although a little pricey. My favourite are the cured and raw dishes

Great experience. Very friendly staff!

Exceptionally delicious food and wine, lovely atmosphere and staff. Such a treat. Will be back as often as possible!

Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful, with a great atmosphere, and the staff are kind and friendly. As for the food? It's really tasty, and there's no other place like this in Cambridge. To start, we had oysters and the sourdough with the Fin Boys' black butter, which has a unique flavour, along with some of the best prawn toasts we've ever had. For mains, we tried the John Dory fish and a trout Wellington, both of which were very tasty and we finished with an affogato. Highly recommend! If you're thinking of visiting this place, don't hesitate to make a reservation straight away.

We went for our second visit the other day and again found delicious food and wine on the tasting menu. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for - the quality is fantastic. The staff are passionate about what they do and clearly love food and cooking it (one even had a tattoo of a tin of sardines in tribute to his love of fish). Service is unpretentious and excellent. I cannot fault this place.

Delicious food and an incredibly friendly staff. I've gone for the regular menu and the tasting menu and both have been delicious!

We had a very nice lunch here. Personally we enjoyed the prawn toast and the eel dish the most. Oh and the black garlic butter and sourdough bread. Yum! The salmon ‘mousse’ didn’t taste like salmon to us but it was wrapped in salmon so maybe that’s what the idea was. (?) The scallops were beautiful, we thought the green curry was a little boring, a little kaffir lime and split coconut would’ve killed it though! We wish the ice cream was better quality in our affogato, it had little ice bits in it. We tried all the white wines BTG on the menu and thought hm nice, but more fuller bodied/spicier whites would’ve complimented most of the richer dishes better. Perhaps a couple more with slightly higher res sugar…. It was a nice experience all in all and the staff was helpful and friendly. So thank you!

I had made a reservation for a restaurant on the 29th of February, for the same evening, and had to pay a £40 booking fee. However, I quickly realized that I couldn't make it to the reservation, and tried to cancel the booking just 10 minutes after I had made it. Unfortunately, I found out that I couldn't cancel via the email confirmation link or by telephone. I tried calling them four times but could not get through to anyone. I even left two messages, requesting them to confirm the cancellation upon returning my call. I also sent an email today after seeing they'd kept my £40, but was informed that it wasn't their responsibility and that I should have informed them via email. They didn't even try to compensate or help me and blamed a third party for the inconvenience. Awful customer service and a very flimsy excuse.

Lovely food and lovely chef Charlotte who served us! Prawn toast is by far the best I've ever had and a great wine selection too, would definitely recommend 🐟

absolutely spectacular kitchen-side experience ... prepared before your eyes by friendly chefs ... these guys do wonderful things with delicious looking fresh raw fish .. Ceviche ... wellingtons ... scallops in light curry ... prawn toast ... wonderful stuff ... and certainly the a la carte menu is not pricey ... the two of us shared a whole cascade of delicious dishes and loved it!

The tasting menu we had was excellent and the wine pairing worked very well with it. The seafood here really is outstanding. Fantastic service, and a very good level of gluten-free accommodation for me. An excellent restaurant that I will continue to look forward to eating at whenever I find myself in Cambridge.

Love this place, the staff are amazing, really knowledgeable about the food, which is superb.

A shame about the bandwagon of one star reviews below... This place is fantastic. Fresh and beautifully designed dishes, solid wine list, and knowledgeable, friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit for any and all seafood fans!

Stunning meal. Recommended for anyone looking for a special fish restaurant.

My friends and I visited Fin Boys last Wednesday for a special night of German inspired dishes with paired wines. Absolutely fantastic, highly imaginative dishes and excellent value for money. I have also visited on several occasions and have enjoyed the a la carte menu and set menus. Highly recommended. See you again soon!

This place is awful! Such rude staff and from the looks of all these bad reviews as well the managers apparent ego mania and inability to take criticisms. It must be a hell to work there.

My boyfriend and I had their tasting menu on 20th Jan (Saturday) which included raw oyster. On the coming Monday both my bf and I started vomiting - I had a high fever and my bf also got diarrhea. I wrote an email to the restaurant to inform them of this and they said they would talk to their oyster supplier and keep me in the loop. However I have not heard from them since then. I also heard from friends that this happened to thee as well when they dined at this restaurant, so I think it is worth mentioning to people who consider going there EDIT: When I posted this I didn’t even read previous reviews and was not aware of similar thing happening to other people a few days ago, while the owner was so keen to classify this as the bandwagon effect. (AND The friends I mentioned above dined here quite a while ago). Now that I have read other negative reviews, I am truly <amazed> at how this restaurant handled stuff they don’t want to hear.

FOOD POISONING! I had originally posted a great review after eating at Finboys on Friday lunchtime. Both my friend and I had oysters and on Saturday night we both started vomiting violently and I now have a serious fever. Other people have recently been posting about this on here (all after eating oysters) and the restaurant’s response has been to simply apologise and claim it is Norovirus. Well it could be the oysters or it could be Norovirus, but Norovirus is usually spread by human faeces, so if it is Norovirus then somebody working at the restaurant is clearly not washing their hands when they go for a number two. I think rather than saying sorry, you should be offering compensation to people and seriously keeping an eye on your staff. Once can be forgiven as unfortunate, multiple times cannot. EDIT: Since posting this review, the restaurant has replied saying it’s norovirus and probably something we came into contact before we ate at the restaurant. I am absolutely stunned at this response. There are three people who have posted recent reviews here saying they’ve got food poisoning after eating the oysters, the oysters are the only thing my friend and I had in common. I’m sorry but there’s a common denominator here and it’s your restaurant and you should do something about it because food poisoning is potentially very serious. EDIT: Also staggering is the suggestion that I should contact their oyster suppliers for compensation! That is just not how things work. You served the oysters, your responsibility. EDIT: like the previous reviewers, I have decided to report this restaurant to the council. Owner called me this morning and actually got angry when I said I disagreed that asking me to seek compensation from the supplier was the way to go. This restaurant’s success will quickly turn around with this sort of insane attitude.

EDIT : Ate on Thursday not wednesday . Everything was just a bit meh. We had oysters to start which were ok. Then we had a cold mussel salad which was fine. Two mains were good but the dessert tasted like pure basil, really overpowering. At one point you could hear members of staff behind the counter talking negatively about (assuming) another member of staff. Found ourselves both suffering from a bad case of noravirus on the Friday evening which we presume is from the oysters. EDIT. After that insane response from the owners I have reported them to the council. Thoroughly encourage others to do the same.

Have eaten at Fin Boys many times and for some reason never thought to add a review. Only seeing some people whine about imaginary oyster problems they decided to start slinging mud with made me think I ought to add balance because, well, my friends and I have eaten hundreds of oysters here over lots of visits and no one has ever been sick. In fact, I’m not even the worlds biggest committed oyster fan but theirs are always delicious, light, fresh, delicate, a manageable size, and their own accompanying sauce knocks most of your mignonette or Tabasco options out of the park. The rest of the fish is very decent as well and usually very nicely cooked as well as served in imaginative and creative ways. The wine list is accessible and affordable whilst still having something special for that odd occasion too. The guys know what they are doing and do it well.

Me and my friend went to Fin Boys on Friday and shared oysters. Since then both of us have been feeling very sick, vomiting and having fever. The stuff says that it must be Noravirus, which even if it was we got it from Fin Boys lunch. They try to blame it on anything but themselves. The only period of time me and my friend spent together is that one lunch in Fin Boys and we both got sick. There is no other explanation why we would simultaneously have food poisoning. The fact that the stuff doesn't even want to acknowledge the issue just shows how seriously they take their customers. Multiple people have commented on getting sick from those oysters. The least you can do is pull them off the menu until you find what is the problem.

Really great place with some incredible dishes. We had the Saturday 7 course taster menu with paired wine. The courses were all interesting and delicious, we were particularly taken with the smoked eel and scallops courses. The paired wines were all delicious. We’ll definitely go back

The food was OK. Tuna tartare was under-seasoned and lacked any sort of acid or kick leaving it somewhat underwhelming. However the crab and fennel salad was good, and the taramasalata was one of the best I’ve eaten. The sea bass (edit: my mistake it was Monk fish) was alright but the Bream on the next table made me wish I’d chosen that. I think we either had someone new or they were having an off day as the service was not the best. The waiter was quite surly when we arrived, barely saying a word as we were seated. He then brought the menu and started going through the drinks whilst my wife was in the toilet. When it came taking the order and my wife asked about non alcoholic drinks he huffed and pointed to the bit of the menu like he expected I should have run through it with her rather than he should have waited. It would have been nice if he’d talked through some of the dishes. Instead we were told to order a snack, then a starter, then a main. Thanks for the tip! When the food arrived he stood with his arms crossed in front of us as we ate for the first 10 mins, almost standing over us. It made me quite uncomfortable. No one asked how we were doing or if we liked the food at any point. I guess they weren’t that interested? We all have off days and looking at the other reviews I think we may have come at a bad time for them. Edit: my goodness, get some social media training. Your responses here to any person with an issue is to pretend they have never been to your restaurant. It’s bizarre and old fashioned like your food. Own it and improve, don’t attack your customers pretending everything in your house is perfect. It’s embarrassing. So many reviews here question the service and you do not address it once. I get your focus is the kitchen, but as a customer FOH is just as important. It’s very telling that you don’t in fact address a single thing I’ve written.

With no booking, I was lucky enough to get them to fit me in for a 2pm Saturday slot. EDIT: via one of the joint owners as it turns it. Hat-tip to Richard for his help. Kudos, man. A window seat overlooking the crowds living on Mill Road made my day. Having grabbed an earlier lunch elsewhere, I only managed two of their dishes, the smoked eel mousse and the brill. But they were outstanding. This food slaps; fun, exciting and friendly. Some of the best fish I’ve eaten this side of Josh Niland and Tom Brown.

Enjoyed the Saturday evening taster menu. Great variety of tasty fish dishes with an Asian twist. Suitable time between dishes so that you did not feel rushed. Staff were friendly, happy and attentive. Excellent wine pairing that complemented the dishes perfectly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here and the food was fantastic. Clean, balanced, nicely put together and very tasty. The only drawback was our waiter who didn’t have much to offer. We were asking a few questions about the menu and not much came back. Quote Which dish is the most popular Answer “the salmon is alright” . He said he had been there a couple of years so the service was a little disappointing.

The milk bread dominated the taste of the aged tuna starter while the tuna had no taste, disappointing. The wild sea bass main was overcooked which was pointed out to the staff who did not comment and just walked away. Very disappointing. This was our second visit to Fin Boys. The first visit had been a superb experience while the second visit was the complete opposite and did not justify the high price charged for the meal.

Just had an excellent lunch at Fin Boys. All courses were outstanding, but the starters (prawn toast, pastrami sea trout and aged tuna) were particularly delicious. Service was very friendly and informal. We'll be back soon!

A real treasure! The place is welcoming and the service friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. The fish soup was deep and satisfying and the smoked salmon delicate. The hake and sea trout were beautifully pan fried and the sides were refined and perfectly complemented the fish. One of the owners kindly gave us some taramasalata which we enjoyed on New Year’s Eve, it was smooth perfection! We can’t wait to return.

Was really excited to go after hearing good things but sadly was not a good experience and won’t be returning. Also really shocking and unprofessional to see the restaurant owners/staff rude responses to people taking the time to review their experiences. Feedback from your customers is a gift that should be taken with humility and customers should never be trolled if they leave less than 4 star reviews. Take the feedback and grow from it. The service was really aloof and cold, the food was under seasoned and pretty average which was a shame considering the lovely quality ingredients. Perhaps we should have done an evening tasting menu instead of a la carte lunch as other customers seemed to really enjoy their experience and maybe more experienced/passionate staff work front of house for the evening. The monkfish was tough and overcooked and under seasoned, the tuna tartare was woefully under seasoned and unpleasant to eat. We had left most of it and no one cared that we hadn’t enjoyed it. The crab salad was decent but again lacked seasoning. If you are going to be so bold as to not put salt and pepper on the tables then please have the decency to season your beautiful ingredients correctly.

Prawn Toast and Oysters to start. Monkfish and Sea Trout for main. Cheesecake and Sticky Toffee Pudding to finish. Simply superb in every respect - would recommend unreservedly. Fantastic.

Our second visit to fin boys last night and our first time trying the set menu. As with the first visit was absolutely stunning, easily the best seafood in Cambridge if not the best restaurant. Plate after plate of delicious fish in a beautiful ambience, this place is a must try!

What an amazing experience last night at Fin Boys. Fin Boys is beacon for Seafood lovers seeking an unparalleled dining experience. From the moment you step through the door, the inviting ambiance and the tantalizing aroma of fresh catches set the stage for an unforgettable culinary journey. We opted for the Set Menu with the wine pairings. Each bite was a testament to the restaurant's dedication to quality. From the succulent Tuna to melt-in-your-mouth perfectly seared scallops, every dish is a celebration of Fin Boys seafood expertise. The restaurant's commitment to excellence extends to its thoughtfully curated wine selection. The knowledgeable staff are more than willing to guide you through the perfect pairing, enhancing the overall dining experience and ensuring every sip complemented the flavors of our chosen seafood dish. Fin Boys is a local gem, the experience was way beyond our expectations. This is a ‘must-visit’ restaurant. We will be back very soon.

Top notch fish dishes that easily exceeded expectations. It is one of the rare restaurants that doesn't slap the service charge on without asking, but actually allows you to choose on the payment terminal if you tip.

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.

The best restaurant in Cambridge in no uncertain terms.

Best fish restaurant in Cambridge

We had a delicious lunch with some of the best prepared fish we've had. Lovely team and having seats at the kitchen counter was a bonus. Highly recommend!

Best meal and experiece. Taste explosion!!

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!

best fish restaurant in Cambridge

Birthday dinner on a Tuesday evening. We loved every mouthful! It was a superb experience and well worth the price for the occasion. Thank you 😊

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.

Absolutely fantastic, wonderful culinary experience.

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).

Smells horrible .. whenever I pass by this shop, I have to hold my breath...🤢🤢🤮

It was a 10/10 meal. The staff were so helpful and lovely and the food was delicious and with the flavours being well thought out. Would 100% recommend.

As always, Fabulous Fin Boys! Incredible food, beautiful wine (at a very reasonable price) and perfect service. Always a pleasure.

The scallops starters and John Dory main was so amazing! Very clean place too.

I took my grandma here for her birthday and the staff could not have been more helpful and charming. Excellent food and service all round.

great food! great service! I enjoyed sitting at the bar and watching the preparations. Great place!

Best seafood restaurant for miles . These guys are really serious about fish and their menu is always really creative. I really like the lunchtime a la carte menu, recently went for the 10 course tasting menu too and will be back again. The fact that they change the menus so regularly is great.

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

We've been twice and both times it has been exceptional. Cannot recommend enough!

Imaginative, playful, intricate, generous, above all delicious. All staff were interesting and informative to talk to and never pushy. A faultless evening, can't wait to go back.

Incredible 7 course tasting menu including the best oyster I've ever had

Lovely food - we had the tasting menu - served by friendly and informative people. Not cheap but well worth it

The food at Fin Boys is so good, eating it is practically a religious experience. We come here as an extra special treat and they never fail to make our night marvellous. The service is always flawless, the atmosphere cozy, refined and fun. The food - earth-shatteringly excellent. Can only recommend.

We have been here twice already for Saturday nights set menu and will definitely return again. The menu changes regularly so we had a completely different menu each time and absolutely loved every single dish. The wine flight is also incredible. It's clear that the team put a lot of thought and care into everything. Fantastic value for money!

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 :)

I LOVE PLATTER ❤️ Monk fish is outstanding .. can’t wait to be back 🥰

Great seafood! Lovely atmosphere and great service.

We think this team has fabulous approach to seafood and its always an interesting experience. On this occasion we purchased fathers day boxes the sashimi and oysters. Both were high quality boxes and a great idea. I appreciate sauces being boxed separately as particularly the heavy umami styles that sometimes feature are one aspect I am less keen on. Having the option to try is perfect. We will keep coming back

Third time getting the tasting menu - never disappointed. The flavours are well balanced, the service is impeccable. The wine flight is chosen with taste. Also very impressed with their dessert. Looking forward to next time!

Fabulous lunch, freshly cooked in front of you. Loved sitting at the bar as you could see all the dishes being cooked and served. Absolutely mouth watering. My hake was cooked to perfection.

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 !

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 trained To 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?

We tried their 7 course tasting menu. Fantastic service and atmosphere. The food tasted amazing and was quite creative. Unfortunately, however, my partner got seriously ill from the oysters he ate

Great meal - already looking forward to going again! Would recommend to anyone who loves fish - and to anyone who doesn’t it might change your mind! Really good food and service by friendly staff. A great addition to Cambridge!

Fantastic fish restaurant, we visited on a Saturday for the fixed menu. Every course was delicious and the service was great. Only improvement could be more tables.
