Been to Red Fin a couple times now - doing both the happy hour thing as well as the all-out dinner. Since I've been to some of the other restaurants mentioned by other reviewers, I just don't understand what they're talking about. The happy hour there is quite the deal with the same quality food. During dinner, my sashimi was simply fantastic and the portion huge! And unlike some of those other sushi places, the rest of the menu might even exceed the sushi. We had a special with Sichuan peppercorn-grilled beef medallions in a Chinese rice wine(shaowshang?)-thyme sauce kinda like a demiglaze. It had fingerling potatoes, wild mushrooms, bacon and gorgonzola. Some sweet and sour balsamic onion jam topping, too. Just amazing! One of the best things I have eaten this year. And they actually have the wine list to back up this kind of food (that seemed more French-Chinese; most of their menu at dinner seems more French-Italian fused with Japanese, Chinese and Thai, a little Vietnamese and some Korean, too). Service was overall very good - not too formal but very nice and got the job done. Matched the atmosphere: more hip upscale casual than anything. I could pick them apart for a few details here and there, but it's not trying to be Rover's or Mistral (my favorites when I want to sit up very straight in my chair) and you're not paying for that, either. I will be back many times as long as they keep it up.
