The view, food and price are just right. We have tried many of the restaurants in Port A and Fins is our favorite. More

Located by the marina, there is always something to see. The food is among the better on the island. Sometimes there is a line, but its worth the wait. Food is reasonably priced and there is a wide selection. Check it out! More

The food was wonderful; however, the service is iffy and the prices are a bit high. They do cook what you catch, so if you are a fisherman, this may be a good service for you. The view of the marina is nice too, so the outdoor patio is a great place to have your meal. More

The drinks were expensive, the fried shrimp was only average, and $3 for a tiny side of coleslaw is ridiculous!! More

A lot of fried food on the menu and a bar atmosphere. There were tables outside with a nice view. Food was ok, but nothing great. Service was marginal. Definitely not our favorite, there are much better places to eat in town. More

Great location right on the water. Breakfast was really good. The bacon was too tough like a cross between beef jerky and pork rinds. But everything else was great More

The food was good. Except for the gumbo. It had more rice than the gumbo. Had very little taste. We sat outside which over looked the dock area. The Mexican Martini was strong and good. More

After we got our food we had to ask for condiments and they left and never brought any. Our food was pretty much cold when i finally got up myself and went inside and got some.... More

Had lunch at Fin's today and it was great!!! Had a fabulous Mojito, as good as the one I had in London, UK. The Treasure Chest platter was huge and wonderful. Worth every dollar. Husband had bacon wrapped shrimp and loved it. Service was good, especially our waiter Greg. So friendly and took great care of us. Prices weren't any... More
