Definitely carving its own niche market of breakfast/brunch. I like the variety of menu, which is why it's probably one of the most expensive breakfasts (which -unlike dinner- is still affordable at $12-$20 per person). Since it's pretty much a niche market, I can't really argue of overcharged (no competitors to compare against). Like the reviewer below said: wait staff are young, but compensated w/ attentiveness. One qualm though, I tried their schnitzel once and it sucked. Don't know if they ever fixed it, cuz I haven't ordered that again since.

Eating at Finn's reminds me of eating at a comfortable European cafe. The food is excellent and not ordinary. Finn has made the effort to bring delicious Scandinavian food to Salt Lake City and has succeeded. He even whipped up a special mac and cheese for the three year old in our group, who commented, "This is great. Finn is a good guy." The wait staff is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, the outdoor seating is comfortable and fresh, and the food is, need i say it again, excellent. The marzipan latte was "over the top" delicious. Daily specials are unique and well priced. The entire menu is well priced. Heidi, the co-owner, makes it a point to ensure that all customers are well looked after and satisfied. What a great place!

Well, just like the review title says, this cafe is a hidden jewel. It's not perfect, but what is?? On the plus side: fresh, clean food served by nice helpful staff. The inside of the cafe is stylish, especially the wood ceiling...that must have cost a little bit! The menu choices are not just the regular boring stuff. They have some very interesting dishes, I guess inspired by the family's European heritage. Someone said that the family is from Norway (maybe Sweden, I'm not sure). On the other side: the cafe was *packed* when my girlfriend and I went, so the wait time was a little long. I'm not sure I can count that as a negative really...I mean it's not their fault the place is so popular. It was also a touch noisy, but it was fun to be in the middle of all the action. The place had a nice energy. Anyway, the overall experience was fun, and this review is *definitely* positive. I just wish Salt Lake City had more places like this. I mean, really, do we need another Alberto's or Crown Burger?? Salt Lake needs more people like the Finn's family, willing to bring, different, high-quality food to a middle-sized city.
