Finch Bay Restaurante

Kind of a let down if you do the tasting menu, but i recommend going there for a ceviche and a cocktail at sunset. It’s really not a good idea to go there if you aren’t a guest , you kind of get forgotten about and pushed off to the side. the staff was so nice and tried really hard to make it right , the food was so salty and each dish came out cold i sent back the soup and pork because you couldn’t eat it and took 4 hours to get to the end. Paying $260 per person was also VERY expensive for what it was. If i were to do it again i would have not done the tasting menu and just had drinks and ceviche. all the dishes out

My wife and I ate here twice on our trip to Santa Cruz. This was by far the nicest (and most expensive) restaurant we ate at on our trip. However, the food was excellent. Even better than the food was the service from our waiter Cesar. His service was outstanding, attentive, and made our experience wonderful. He even arranged for a custom dessert when we told him it was our anniversary.

We stopped by spontaneously for dinner, initially planning to order à la carte. However, we were warmly persuaded by Cesar to try the tasting menu instead. His English was flawless, and he took all the time needed to explain each dish in detail, even accommodating our special requests with great care. As an extra course, we were served lobster - the best we have ever had on the Galapagos Islands. The location itself is stunning, creating a wonderful atmosphere that perfectly complemented the meal. All in all, this was the best evening we experienced on Galapagos. Highly recommended!

Food was delicious, service great but the overall experience didn't quite live up to the price tag. I enjoyed catching the water taxi out to dinner, and everything I ate was wonderful, but the 'entertainment' was watching hotel guests swimming in the pool - less fun than people watching on the main drag, or the views/sea life from restaurants like The Point.

I really wanted to love this restaurant. The service and atmosphere were truly outstanding — warm, professional, and in a beautiful setting. The cocktails were a highlight, easily the best we had in the Galápagos. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite match the setting. The starters were okay, but lacked distinct flavors. The seafood pasta had incredible sauce and perfectly cooked seafood — definitely a 10/10 on that front — but was let down by the use of basic, cheap spaghetti, which brought the overall dish down. The regular tomato pasta was well below expectations. Overall, it’s a place with great potential, especially for drinks and ambiance, but the food needs some refinement and more bold flavours in order to match its atmosphere and amazing service.
