Finney's Crafthouse - Summerlin

Date night was originally planned around supporting the New Vista Wine Walk, an amazing Downtown Summerlin event for a great cause. We ended up at Finney’s, a new spot in Downtown Summerlin. The Mrs. raved about the lemonade, so I gave it a try. I also had a Blondie beer, which was okay. We started with the chips and salsa. The chips had their own seasoning, and the salsa was darker than the typical red kind, almost like mole. I ordered an Old Fashioned, and it was really good. The large, crystal-clear ice cube had an “F” embedded in it. If you know the process behind making clear ice, you can appreciate that extra touch. We also shared the fried avocado appetizer. It was okay, but I’m a big fan of the cheesecake version, so if you love that one, this may not be your favorite. I had the fajitas and the Mrs. ordered a salad, which she enjoyed, including the dressing. The fajitas were lackluster: no traditional sizzling skillet at the table, a light portion of protein, and not much flavor. The location is great, the ambience was really nice, and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I wasn’t impressed with the greeting staff, but our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. The atmosphere and Old Fashioned helped earn it about 3½ stars. I might come back to try the Wagyu cheeseburger, but I wouldn’t go out of my way.

Finney's Crafthouse finally landed in Summerland and it did not disappoint. Came in tonight and the place had great energy, a good crowd, and overall just an easy, fun vibe. Started with a margarita flight, and it was a toss-up between the guava and the blueberry for my favorite. The beer list is deep too, with plenty of local and craft options. Food-wise, the cheesesteak eggrolls are a must, and the poke nachos were amazing and fresh. The carnitas tacos might have been my favorite thing on the table. Service was great, friendly staff who greeted us right when we walked in and said goodbye as we left. Great addition to the neighborhood. Already planning my next visit!! .

Started going to Finney‘s back when they opened their Laguna Beach Location. I’ve eaten at Finney’s over 30 times and I always have a consistent great experience with the food, atmosphere and staff. Their new location is as good or better.

The good: They have plenty of seating both inside and patio. The environment is clean and customer friendly. Lots of staff.. service was fairly quick. The menu is fairly large, ranging from Fish tacos and Bison Burgers to Pizza and Greek Bowls. I would say a “normal variety” menu for a craft house/pub style restaurant. Pricing was fair for today’s standard. The bad: The food was not good. It has great eye appeal. It lacks in quality compared to other craft house restaurants. I got the Bison Burgers.. it lacked flavor and was not fulfilling. My companion got the Peggy Chicken sandwich.. same. Overall lacking, especially compared to other chicken sandwiches on the market. The chicken resembled what deep fried rubber would be like. I do not feel the taste or quality was there for the value.

First time trying out this restaurant for happy hour. I have to go find my own server. One helped us get in an older drink before she went home and then we sat there for another half an hour with no one. Again I have to go find out who our server was. When one of the ladies popped around I asked if she was now our server and she said she didnt know, shrygged shoulders and walked off. Happy hour was 10 minutes from ending and nobody had come to our table. We were there from 4:00 pm. Worst service ever!
