Coastal Virginia Culinary Awards Winner 2024
From the Nov.-Dec. 2024 issue of Coastal Virginia Magazine:
Located in Port Warwick in Newport News, Fin Seafood is chef-owner Kenny Sloane’s flagship restaurant, which blends refined coastal cuisine with a sleek, modern atmosphere reminiscent of Eric Ripert’s famed Manhattan restaurant, Le Bernardin. Fin’s dining room exudes understated elegance, with polished wood floors, clean lines, and soft, neutral tones that set the stage for a meal that feels special and sophisticated.
Like Le Bernardin, Fin focuses on fresh, meticulously prepared seafood, and while it may not be quite as formal, it strives for the same commitment to quality and detail. The vibe is polished but not pretentious—so in the same week you might pop in for Tuesday Tapas or Thursday Burger night, you can also indulge in a seven-course tasting menu with a reserve wine pairing. Fin’s success has led to sister restaurants, including Fin & Tonic in Suffolk, which boasts a swanky speakeasy in back.
