Finz Bar & Grill

This little restaurant was very eclectic and casual, with great service. Our waiter was fun and helpful! The food was really good, and relatively low priced compared to other seafood in the area. We split a seafood platter between 2 people with scallops, dolphin, oysters and shrimp, and it was extremely fresh and flavorful. They have alot of great local brews and although we did not eat at the bar, it seemed lively and fun. Would definitely go again when in the area. Felt right at home!

Very filling delicious food. I enjoyed their seafood nachos, best I've ever had.

Love this place food was amazing service was awesome! Will be going back every chance I get!

I can't remember our server's name but she was so sweet! We came in with four dogs, which we know is a bit excessive, but she got them all water bowls and was sweet to them. The food was scrumptious. We tried a variety of basically everything. Had no complaints. The seafood nachos were the by far the best decision.

First visit, my husband and I were on a date night. We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Second visit, we took our children (8, 13, & 18) here for dinner. Again we loved the food and atmosphere. The service was good even though it was a Saturday night and our waitress had several tables.

Thank you for such a great time last night! The food and service were awesome, and y'all made us feel so welcome! All 7 of us agree that we had the best time we have had in a long time! If you are from out of town, visit this bar, it is a lot of fun, and you will be welcomed. Thank you again, from the 7 ladies from Atlanta!

Went with my 3 year old and sat outside so we could enjoy the weather (and the cars and trucks passing by). Smoked wings were absolutely delicious. I'm a wing person, so I don't like cheapy sauces or wings, but wow. The flavor was just amazing. I also got 2 tacos: buffalo shrimp and the seared tuna. The Buffalo shrimp was good, but by the end of it, it seemed like there was too much sauce. If that's the case, I suggest light on the sauce if you order them. The waitress said that was her favorite thing on the menu. The seared tuna was light but fresh and delicious. I could have eaten a half dozen of those easy. So fresh. My son had the chicken fingers and fries and even they were delicious. The kids menu was pretty good, as usual as you'd expect it and they do have chicken fingers and pasta on the menu, the only things nowadays my son eats. Good beer menu and good specials. There were a bunch of them, so don't expect to be limited by the menu you see on the website. Service was also exceptional. Would definitely return.

Ordered the Ruben. When it finally arrived it looked very good. However it was extremely salty. There was no way I could eat it. Very disappointing. My husband ordered a burger med and it came very very well done. Food is over priced and not good. The only reason I'm giving this two stars is the kids enjoyed their meal, also the waitress was very nice.

Topsail was really good. The food tasted great, the service was superb (thank you Joe), and the atmosphere was relaxed. The restaurant is a couple of blocks off Shem Creek and much less crowded then the restaurants on Shem Creek. You don't get the same view, but the food is just as good, if not better. The main eating area is set up around the bar. There are lots of bar seats, tables all around the walls, outdoor seating (some gliders) around gas fire pits, and some more tables off to the left. We started with lobster deviled eggs, which were really good (8/10). For the main dishes, we ordered: - Shrimp Gnocchi (9/10) - Roasted garlic alfredo sauce with arugula, cherry tomatoes, and balsamic glaze - Lobster & Grits (8/10) - Fresh lobster meat, lobster cream gravy, bacon, cherry tomatoes, caramelized onions If we lived in the area, we would definitely return.

My asian Tuna was excellent, the chicken Milanese was also very good, and a huge portion, the brussels sprouts appetizer was also excellent. Service was great, very professional, we highly recommend this restaurant!

As a previous review mentioned ... not much curb appeal. Small parking lot available beside/behind restaurant. When you walk inside, it has a "beachy" vibe to it. I believe reservations are highly recommended. When I entered the restaurant, the hostess greeted/seated us right away (with a preexisting reservation). My party arrived an hour after opening and the place was nearly empty. My mom ordered the snapper (comes with brussel sprouts and garlic mashed potatoes). Based off reviews - I ordered the seafood platter. Complimentary hushpuppies (4) were provided for the table. The snapper was large ... so come with an appetite! The seafood platter comes with a lobster tail, 2 scallops, 2 shrimp (with cheesy grits), 1 crabcake and asparagus. Overall, the entree was good, but I wish I ordered something else. The scallops, lobster and shrimp were cooked to perfection!!! The crabcake was all filling and I wasn't satisifed with the grits. Even though items in the dish were delicious, I would recommend newcomers to order a different entree. Overall, this was a good dining experience and I'd recommend.

We had the seafood platter. It was delicious. The hush puppies with Cajun honey butter are amazing. Great service. Don't let the looks deceive you. We will define be back.

The seafood platter was delicious! I wouldn't get the cake again because it was just average. We all enjoyed our meals.

I had a group of 12 and they had space for us at the right time for our reservation. They were super friendly and explained to us all the options they had and were very understanding with everything. The food was also amazing!! The only thing stopping me from giving them a 5 star is that one of the waiters spilled some sauce from my meal on my dress, and when they had asked if they spilled any, I said yes. However, they just apologized and walked away. It wasn't too big of a spill, so that's ok.

A must try!! From the curb appeal we weren't sure if we would like it but the food was outstanding! We started with the lobster sauce scallops which were good but we couldn't taste the lobster at all. The seafood platter was very good but the scallops were out of this world good. The peaches with scallop combination was surprisingly the perfect pairing. The service was good, not great and the place was overall not too loud! The good food makes this place deserve a 5/5!

What a surprise on our inaugural visit to this small yet delightful restaurant. I had the PEI Mussels in the most delicious lobster sauce. The taste of these fantastic mussels was exceeded only by this exquisite sauce. All of this while experiencing the exemplary service of our server...she was so well informed and professional. I'll return to TOPSAIL.

Beware of buying a gift certificate from Top Sail restaurant in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. Dear friends gave us a gift certificate for $100.00. The first time we tried to the gift certificate their response was, "OUR SYSTEM IS NOT SET UP FOR THIS NOW," my wife call her friend to let her know, she call the restaurant to complain and they issued another gift certificate electronically that shows up in my wife's wallet with a bar code, when we tried to use it again they said,"WE DON'T USE THAT SYSTEM ANY MORE" so once again they would not honor the gift card.

Great food! Ambiance is quiet and peaceful. Service is amazing. Not kidding friendly, more of a date night pace. We will be back!

I've walked past this restaurant plenty of times but never eaten here - till now! Made a reservation for Sunday evening and - almost - had the entire place to ourselves. Service was good - food was good albeit maybe slightly overpriced. We started with the muscles - which were very tasty. I had the lobster grits and my wife had the fried shrimp - and we split a Caesar salad. Per my wife the shrimp were good - the lobster grits were fantastic. Definitely would return/recommend.

The food has been amazing every time I've spent here. This is one of the true hidden secrets in the area. Food is equal or better than anything you'll get downtown.

Once again, another great trip to Topsail. We always sit at the bar but the entire staff helps each other out. It's great to see. They bring out hush puppies to start! So good. We both had the seafood platter this time. Again... so good! I also had a cup of the she crab soup. It was good but not the best I've had. Patrick, the bartender, is great to hang out with. Service and food top notch!

It's easy to miss this place but WOW it's a gem!!! Great service and fantastic food. It's tiny inside and the tables are very close together but it's worth it to eat this food. Highly recommend.

Awesome! The food was spectacular. Yes it's pricier but we'll worth it. I had the salmon entree and their Brussels sprouts were out of this world. Perfectly crispy with lots of flavor and perhaps a balsamic glaze? Their key like pie is clearly made all in house from the crust to the filling. It was delightful. Our waiter was wonderful, attentive and patient with my always confused mom. The interior is cozy and upscale but you don't need to dress to the nines to come. Small parking lot in the back as well.

Food is really good and lots of good choices. Nice cocktail menu too. My fish seemed slightly over cooked but the crab meat was AMAZING! Service was really good.

Service from Bobby was STELLAR. We've made reservations at so many places during our honeymoon week with those notes on the reservation and this was the ONLY restaurant in Charleston which not only acknowledged it, but offered us dessert for it. (Sadly we were too full.) Food was good but we had shells in the she crab soup AND in both of our lobster and grits. Lots of shells. Very bummed about this. As a side note, I told the server about my severe allergy to clams and muscles and he went above and beyond to make sure none of our food was at risk and he let me know what was safe to eat after checking with the chef. I really wish there wouldn't have been so many shells in our food, it would have been a perfect 5. I'd still recommend this place though, especially because of the service. Dinner for 2, no alcoholic drinks, and a side salad and cup of soup was just 100.

The hungry detective received a lead for this spot from a patron at Stax just up the road Mount Pleasant... It's got a cool atmosphere with a bar and outdoor indoor patio seating which is kind of unique... The bartender Ryan has a great personality and is outgoing and is a true mixologist and makes an old-fashioned the way it should be made... I had the beef option cook medium rare it was wonderful along with fried oysters which were cooked to perfection. VERDICT: Guilty for providing great drinks and food in a cool spot

Topsail is one restaurant you do not want to miss. Whether you're a tourist interested in the beautiful Shem Creek dining experience or a local needing a fresh seafood fix - this is the spot for you. The service is attentive, and the food is even better. I am a huge fan of the lobster and grits! Getting a reservation is fairly easy, and they are able to accommodate with any changes as well.

Tasty food for smaller restaurant. Atmosphere was nice. Waitstaff were pleasant. Seafood jambalaya was great.

We had the best service and time with Christina tonight. We are from out of town and she was so helpful with Charleston must do's. Our food was amazing and Christina made us feel right at home. We will be back to eat before heading back to Ohio

A friend recommended this restaurant for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. Amazing food cooked to perfection, relaxing atmosphere, and our waiter Joe, all made this worthy of a 5 star experience for us. We'll be back!

Great food, loved the wine recommendations from our server. Highly recommend the scallops!

I did pretty extensive research on where to have dinner during my weekend in Charleston and Mt Pleasant. And Topsail looked perfect. Creative, but approachable menu with reasonable prices, and a great location. Thankfully, we got the last parking spot in the lot, behind the restaurant, right next to the dumpster and walked by an employee smoking a cigarette. Not the best first impression, I don't care if you're on break or not. We walked in and were sat in the side room, it was like the addition room to a house. I guess space is a little tight around that area. We started with two $10 bowls of she crab soup, and I wasn't impressed. It had too much sherry. I finished mine but mom asked for a Caesar salad instead, and it was covered with way too much dressing for her taste. Our entrée was one of a kind, a two pound whole red snapper, I think we got the second to last one. It came grilled and served with potatoes and vegetables. It tasted great, super fresh, and it cost $55, which isn't terrible for two people. The desserts didn't intrigue as at all, so we headed on our way. It was a nice restaurant, and the snapper was impressive, but I would not return.

Best seafood in Mt Pleasant and an amazing wine list Service was great. We will definitely be back next time we are in Charleston

Food and atmosphere always excellent. Been coming here for the last 4 years. Patrick and Christina do an amazing job behind the bar. It's where the locals in the know go!

Solid local seafood choice. We like the bar seats or patio couch for seafood and cocktails. Happy hour drink specials. Good service from the bartender. The lobster deviled eggs and mussels are favorites. Whole fish is also great.

Overall: Great service to compliment a quality meal! The good: The food was pretty good, but the service is what stood out for us. Our waiter (I can't quite remember his name, maybe Dean? ((He claimed to be the pastry chef/baker)) had a great sense of humor and was attentive. He made a self-proclaimed sexist joke at one point in the meal, and felt bad so he brought us out a free slice of chocolate cake (also helped that we were on our honeymoon, which he found out after). The cake was indulgent, moist, choclately, and simply incredible. The complimentary hush puppies were also a highlight, as was the lobster roll appetizer. The not-so-good: The ceviche was average. It was an interesting pairing of pineapple, peaches (if I remember), and tuna, but it didn't quite work. Food/drink: 9/10 Atmosphere: 9/10 Service: 9.5/10

This is a really nice upscale restaurant close to the water in Charleston. The seafood here was really good! My lobster tail was a little over cooked and I would have liked some butter to dip it in but it was quite tasty. My scallops were cooked perfectly and were quite delicious as was the sauce. This place is also pretty expensive, so be ready to drop some cash but the service was really good and everyone had a great time here. They also have some great cocktail options so if we visit Charleston again I would love to come back.

Stopped in for a much anticipated dinner at Topsail Restaurant and Bar, Mt Pleasant on Mother's Day. We arrived about 45 minutes early for our reservation but were seated immediately. Our server was prompt, as was the food arriving from the kitchen, which is probably why we were somewhat disappointed in our entrees. The flounder was slightly undercooked and the crab stuffing was not very warm. The flavors were good but nothing really Wowed me or my wife. Maybe it was an off night, but I'd be hard pressed to make the drive back when there is better, and less expensive options much nearer me.

So we tried this place out for the first night of restaurant week this last Thursday, I have to say I went in cautiously optimistic based on everybody's yelp reviews in the recent past. This place is small, quaint, romantic. The service was great the staff was amazing, and if that speaks anything about the food this was also the case. It was very much impressed with the food, quality and presentation.. not to mention the portion size! Outstanding!! We will be back!

Best meal in mount pleasant. Service at the bar was top notch, super friendly, kind, personable, and fun. The seafood platter was outstanding, but nothing can beat the blackened tuna. So fresh. Brussels sprouts that will knock your socks off, and the best grits in town.

8/29/19 ... it doesn't get better than this! Top notch service (thank you, Krista), White Sangria topped off with peach vodka ... those creamy deviled eggs, each, topped with a hunk of lobster claw ... and a whole pan seared red snapper, served with tons of fresh, roasted veggies and sliced fingerlings. Oh my! Original review If you read nothing else ... Topsail is top notch! I knew we were off to a good start when parking spots were plentiful and we were warmly greeted. While the layout is the same as the former restaurant, it's as if someone took a magic wand and transformed the establishment into one that is clean, modern and welcoming. There was seating on the covered porch and booths in the side room; however, we preferred the dim-lit, more, intimate dining room with its upscale feel and was seated at a table in front of a window, next to the large, gleaming, well-stocked bar. The menu is creative, thoughtful and seafood-forward. I appreciated the option of small plates as well as 'main course' entrees as I'm so over filling up on a bite here, a taste there. We were ready ... There's a great wine list, many craft and drafts to choose among and unique cocktails but we went with a simple house red and Bloody Mary, prepared with Mike's made-from-scratch mixer. The wine was a decent pour and the Bloody was perfectly chilled and blended with just enough zing to satisfy. How I love a good bread service and Topsail did not disappoint. Quick to arrive at our table was a basket filled with generous squares of moist corn bread and plump hush puppies that were warm and fresh (and thankfully not greasy) with plump kernels of corn peeking through which we slathered the wonderful whipped Cajun honey butter. We did not hesitate to go for a second basket ... it was that good! We started with the lobster deviled eggs. The order comes with 5 halves, filled high and oh, so creamy ... each, topped with a succulent piece of lobster claw meat. Though the cost ($11.00) seemed a bit pricey, you must have these in your life! We both selected the small ($8.00) Arugula Salad for our next course and yes, it was a great choice (though the Thai Coconut Soup with crab was a close second). Served in what I would call a cereal bowl, the ample portion was chock full of strawberries, toasted almonds, pickled red onions and morsels of goat cheese, blended and gently tossed with olive oil and finished with a fave of mine, balsamic glaze. My hub's Osso Buco was a winner with its WOW factor presentation and reasonable price ($21.00). A large, gently sauced, tender, fall off the bone veal shank was served high above generous portions of smashed potatoes and a fave, delicate, perfectly cooked haricots verts. Meat eaters ... you'll devour this! I opted for the large order of mussels, ($18.00) which was served with a generous portion of airy, crusty, toasted baguette for mopping up the delicious, well seasoned broth. Though the mollusks were small, the portion was huge. I was happy and filled. Though the desserts sounded yummy, we were full and happy so we passed on this last course. Our server, Jay, was friendly, helpful and attentive, checking numerous times throughout the meal to make sure we were not in need of anything. In fact, many people stopped by ... we like that. I so appreciated that Jay brought me a white napkin to avoid the possibility of lint on my white slacks from the black table napkins. There is so much to love about Topsail ... the ambience, high touch service and delicious menu selections. This is adult dining at its best ... we are so fortunate to have this new restaurant in Mount Pleasant. We'll be back ... the pan roasted whole fish is calling my name. Thank

Brought my parents here and was top to bottom everything. We were in the Zone of being with family so everything was naturally magical. Menu included all my favorites of scallops and arugula as an app, got the oysters and hush puppies too lovely, and entrees of stuffed crab flounder/ the tuna/ seafood platter/ and salmon. All shared, because that's how we do. Major kudos and cheers all around my friends! Thanks for hosting and happy we could add to the very jovial atmosphere. What a joy!

We arrived early enough to enjoy a couple of cocktails during Happy Hour. The Yuzu margaritas were to die for...with that we ordered the bacon wrapped hush puppies and the fried shrimp. Both stellar, but the shrimp were really perfectly done. We then moved to a table to enjoy dinner. My husband ordered the Osso Bucco and I ordered the scallops. Really delicious meals - couldn't have been better, and enough food to take home for lunch the next day!! The place is nicely decorated and the staff very friendly. We had such a pleasant time - Thank you!

Came here at the last minute for my niece 19th bday diner and was pleased that they were able to accommodate us since it wasn't as packed as the other local restaurants... my drink were great (daiquiri) ... food was good as well /chicken & shrimp picatta is very "citrus-y" but paired well with the grits replacement... my only complaint was that I was charged the credit surcharge of $3.45 when I used a debit card.. bartender and host were amazing

What a great spot to enjoy an awesome dinner with great company. The food was absolutely delicious, but Ryan put the experience over the top. Next time I'm in town, I'm going to Topsail.

My wife and I took 2 friends to this local spot. I was concerned with the ambiance when I first walked in, but quickly got over and it when the food was served. The ingredients were high quality and resourced well. The food was cooked to perfection with complex flavors. My wife and I only had seafood dishes, and they were a showcase. Please go and enjoy this local spot. #sogood

Fantastic dinner on New Year's Eve. Sat on patio with server Joe. Everything was perfection. The shrimp ham grits were out of this world. Red velvet cake dessert was excellent. The lobster deviled eggs, ceviche & coconut shrimp were all fantastic appetizers. Thanks for a great experience!!

Great place to relax and unwind with great company. We had reservations on a Friday and was quickly seated when we arrived. Our waiter was very attentive and polite. We started off with a bottle of wine and calamari. Both were equally great. Then we had the chicken and shrimp picatta and the prime New York strip for dinner. The steak was cooked to perfection. The chicken and shrimp picatta was not the taste I was looking for. Had a little too much of a vinegar taste which wasn't the best. But that's okay! Next time I know to try something else on the menu. There was only one female and male bathroom. They were very clean. There is a parking lot available behind the building and along the side. We will definitely be back.

Sorry, sorry, sorry for 3 stars but the pictures of the food got me. Pick this place for my birthday dinner. The waitress was a little confused about everything. The food was okay not top notch, it wasn't hot out the kitchen like they had it sitting for about 8mins. But because of my great friend being there I had a good time great conversation with good people.

Met a local on the beach that said he worked there and the crab stuffed flounder was amazing! No such luck.... Really nothing special about any of the dishes our party of five ordered

We went to topsail for a birthday celebration. The atmosphere is cute and the entrees were delicious but that is where I would say the positive review ends. Our waitress was sweet but either she was mew or just plain clueless. Half the things she explained on the menu did not come as explained (was told mahi was over potatoes but came over pasta). Calamari was completely tasteless so don't waste your time. The clincher for me was the bartender. He spent our whole visit talking to one of his friends at the bar. He was so loud that was all you could hear. Let's not even mention that every other patron at the bar and the tables were waiting for drinks and he couldn't be bothered to tear himself from conversation to do his job. This place is underwhelming and over priced do yourselves a favor and skip.

We had our daughter in town to visit and found an open reservation for a Friday night. I am do glad they had an opening; what a treat! For drinks, my husband chose the jalapeño margarita. It brings the heat, so if you're not into spicy choose something else. He's a pepper head so he loved it! Our daughter really enjoyed the Verbena Fizz. I chose one of my favorites, Macallan over ice. Anytime I see she crab soup on the menu, I always give it a try. Theirs did not dissapoint. Sweet crab in a delicious, velvety soup. My daughter enjoyed the arugula salad with goat cheese. They provide a basket of small golden brown hushpuppies with a Cajun honey butter that are addictive, so pace yourself! For entrees. our daughter chose seafood platter that included lobster tail with crab cake, scallops, shrimp, grilled asparagus, and jasmine rice, with beurre blanc sauce. She enjoyed every bite! My husband had the fish du jour, which is the Chef's special. The fish was fresh caught mahi. He said it was one if the best meals he's ever had. There was a Jamaican topping that complimented the tender fish perfectly. I chose the whole fish plate which featured red snapper served with garlic mashed potatoes and grilled mixed veggies (squash, green beans, cherry tomatoes, and yellow bell peppers. The fish was tender and flavorful and the mashed potatoes has small roasted garlic cloves in them. We shared a slice of the passion fruit cream cake that wasn't overly sweet or heavy. It was delicious! Our dinner was a memorable and an enjoyable one and we are thankful for a great staff. Notably, our server Ryan really did a great job in describing the dishes we had questions about and his attentiveness to our needs. We look forward to our next visit!

I took my wife out for a date night, and had heard Topsail was amazing. I was not even remotely disappointed by anything. The seafood platter had the best scallops I have ever eaten, not to mention the other beautifully cooked seafood. My wife got the Filet, and she didn't even need the steak knife. We are definitely going back.

Food was good the little amount we got. Ordered their seafood platter for 48$ and got a small lobster tail a couple scallops and a crab cake that was literally the size of a quarter! My husband asked the waitress is this really what the crab cake or a piece that fell off , and she said yes that's it. Will never go back and everything was very pricey.

Just cannot recommend this one. There are so many great places to eat in the surrounding area-this one just does not hold up. The dishes are overpriced in my opinion. My daughter got a chicken dish that was saturated with balsamic vinegar. Any vinegar a little goes a long way - my husband asked the waiter if they spilled the bottle or if it was supposed to be that way -totally inedible. I had a salad with shrimp -should have been a slam dunk But the shrimp were almost raw. Which is a shame because they were a good quality and extra large size. Drinks are very slow to come out. Waiter dropped a beer-no big deal there- e crept for the fact that it splattered all over myself ,my daughter and our bags and he just walked away ,didn't offer a rag or anything. So sadly this one was a miss. Too many other great places to choose from -this does not hold up

Cute place- friendly and attentive service. My food was good and so was the wine. I'd like to go back and try something different. I wasn't hungry enough to eat my whole meal. Plus, I was told they have 1/2 priced wine on Thursday's!

We decided to spend our anniversary here and we were not let down! Our server Sydney was amazing from recommendations to letting us eat at our pace! She even surprised us with champagne which was a great surprise! My husband had an old fashion which he said was spot on, my drink was pretty and strong! I started with she crab soup and it was outstanding and my husband and got the small salad and it was huge! We then had the mussels of the day. They were flavorful and we got the small and again it was huge. Then we both got the seafood platter. Each piece of seafood was seasoned and cooked perfectly! I can not recommend this dish more! This was a perfect anniversary experience, I can't wait to go back!

This was the best meal I've in years! The staff was so attentive, the chef will be nationally known one day, no doubt! I wouldn't change a thing. We had a most excellent time. Whether you are a local Or a tourist, THIS is the place to have a culinary experience!
