Editorial Review for FINO Restaurant, Patio & Bar – by Andrea Loera

In Short
The power duo behind Austin's popular Asti transformed the site of the former Granite Cafe. Young, well-heeled patrons can choose from two distinct areas: a sleek, open dining room with muted decor, or another boasting tall bistro tables and a spacious bar. Nearby, diners enjoy candlelight conversation on the covered patio with shutters that open and close to accommodate varied temperatures. Fino's Mediterranean menu is divided into sections for big and small plates.

User Reviews for FINO Restaurant, Patio & Bar

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I went to FINO with a friend after work and sat on their patio. We ordered the fried goat cheese which was fabulous. The sweetness of the jam and the honey with the combination of the saltiness of the cheese was mouthwatering! Yum, yum. We split the tomatoe risotto which was also very good and a bottle of wine. Our waiter was great at making suggestions and didn't miss a beat. We had a great time and the food was a wonderful compliment to a great evening. We will definitely return in the near future. We've found a new Austin favorite for sure!

I LOVE FINO. It's a great place with great atmosphere. The happy hour is the best - one of the best in Austin. There are selections of small plates that you can order for half price. They do $5 martinis on Monday and the wine selection is good too. Definitely give this place a try if you are looking for high quality food that won't empty your wallet.

Pros: weekly food and drink specials, atmosphere
