  “Deserving of 1 - 2 Michelin stars. Definitely a hidden gem in Cambridge. We enjoyed every moment. The staff are fabulous and passionate about their work and the food. The open kitchen with seats around the area a win / win. The wine paring a huge bonus as we experienced wines not experienced before and so that is a mind opener. A huge Thank you to all and so looking forward to the next experience.”

  “Just had a standout lunch and I already cannot wait to go back. These people are genuine masters of fish. They understand the ingredients completely, but what elevates the whole experience is how they draw on global cuisine influences to create something that feels both refined and adventurous. The prawn toast is an absolute must-order, and the truffle and Orkney scallops were simply sublime. The Golden Sun cocktail is sublime. It is not just the food that impresses. The cocktail and wine list is superb, and the room itself is gorgeous fabulously sexy design, laid out beautifully. Sitting up at the counter watching the team work, seeing true craft in action, made it a real lunchtime treat.”

  “No fuss, no trying too hard to impress just people focused on doing their job well. Everything is cooked fresh right in front of you, and you can see how clean and well run the place is. We tried a few different fish dishes and everything was genuinely delicious. Such a modest, simple place, but the quality and flavour really surprised me. Sometimes the best places don’t need to show off. Highly recommend”

  “Had a really lovely tasting dinner here and have wanted to try for ages. Tasty and fresh fish, full of flavour. The staff were friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. Particular highlight for me was the Sake Granita, a really unusual mix of flavors (peach, cream and honeycomb). Highly recommend.”

  “Amazing Place. Can’t believe this place doesn’t have a Michelin star. The dishes are creative the flavours well balanced. Service friendly no fuss. We walked in for lunch just before 14:30 and they still accommodate us. Respect. Well done Fin Boys Team.”

  “One of the best dining experiences we have had in a while. We had the tasting menu with the wine flight. It was creative and original, with no weak courses or wines. There are no waiters, the chefs bring the food. Half the seating is at the bar anyway. We loved the enthusiasm and passion for what they are doing. If you love seafood this is a must.”

  “Came here for the tasting menu to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. Exceptional food, friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere. It’s great seeing the chefs prepare all the dishes in front of you. The prawn toast and blood orange meringue pie were definite highlights. Thank you so much for such a wonderful evening!”

  “I had monkish and scallops for lunch here which were fantastic. Decided to try the tasting menu the next week. It started with crab soup which was served boiling hot and burnt my tongue. I was surprised that more care was not taken to ensure that the soup comes out at a decent temperature given the price point of the tasting menu. Prawn toast and oyster was good. I found the tuna tostada overwhelmingly spicy and struggled to finish it. I told a member of staff when I was asked how the dish was, he shrugged and insisted it was not that spicy and that is how Mexican food should be. He also said it was his favourite item in the menu, 🤷‍♀️ fair enough. The torched trout was wonderful and probably my favourite item of the night. The smoked eel on rice was disappointing as the eel was over seasoned and the rice was undercooked as it was hard at the center. Comparing this to other eel-on-rice type of dishes such as Hitsumabushis, I think this fell short of expectations. The stone bass was fresh and delicious, I loved the sauce it came with as well. Dessert was great but not mind blowing. The open omakase/bar-style of seating is not everyone’s cup of tea but I personally love it as it offered a really unique experience. Overall there were hits and misses but I would not mind giving it another try. Thank you Fin boys for the experience!”

  “Amazing food and wine at Fin Boys, Cambridge We had an amazing dining experience at Fin Boys. The food and wine were outstanding throughout the lunch. For starters, we had the pan-seared Orkney scallops and the otoro with porcini cream. Both were excellent — the tuna just melted in your mouth with a beautiful combination of flavours, and the scallops were perfectly cooked. Next came the homemade pasta, which was great and cooked to perfection, though it was probably our least favourite dish of the night simply because the others were so exceptional. For mains, we tried the turbot en croûte and the stone bass. Both dishes were superb. The fish was perfectly cooked, with rich, balanced flavours that really stood out. We finished with the Basque cheesecake, which was a fantastic dessert, spot on in both texture and taste. We also tried several glasses of wine by the glass, and all were well above average for Cambridge, clearly curated with care and a real highlight of the meal. Only point is that the reds were less carefully chosen which I guess it can be expected from a fish place. It is on the pricier side, but the quality of both the food and the wine justifies it. That said, it would be great if the restaurant offered a set or combination menu using their regular dishes to make it a bit more accessible. Overall, a great experience and a must-visit spot for anyone craving exceptional fish dishes in Cambridge.”

  “What a place! We’ve been to Fin Boys a couple of times now. On our first visit, we went for the tasting menu—fantastic. It’s a great way to try a bit of everything, mostly cold dishes, all packed with flavor. The second time, we ordered à la carte and had the bass and gurnard—both perfectly cooked. Jonathan was incredibly helpful with the drinks and recommended the Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc + Viognier blend from Napa Valley. It was spot on. If you’re unsure about wine, just go with that—seriously, you won’t regret it. The food and service are top-notch. If you sit at the bar, you can watch the team prepare everything right in front of you. Fin Boys is perfect for a lunch or dinner date. You’re well taken care of and you leave full and happy.”
