Fin, Newport News

Although he spends his days over simmering pots in the kitchen of Fin Seafood Restaurant, Chef Kenny Sloane has a level of oceanic intuition usually reserved for a lifelong sailor. It's this sense of the sea that helps him create his upscale menus, whose highlights include everything from delicate yellowfin tuna tartare to pan-seared scallops to sumptuous oysters Rockefeller. Chef Sloane also works wonders with land-based ingredients, including thick cuts of wagyu beef and seared slices of foie gras sourced straight from Hudson Valley farms. Although he the restaurant specializes in multi-course dinners and tasting menus, Fin is also home to a welcoming lounge, where tapas-style small plates and a well-curated wine list awaits.
