Over the past decade, Finka Table and Tap has evolved from a humble eatery into a beloved local institution, known for its innovative cuisine and vibrant atmosphere. Chef Eileen explains how the community has been the driving force behind the growth and success… Chef Eileen says “Watching a crazy idea I had 10 years ago blossomed into a neighborhood staple and a place where so many people have experienced beautiful memories and moments has been an absolute honor. This neighborhood is my neighborhood where I was born and raised and there is nowhere else I can imagine this love project blossoming other than in West Kendall. I am proud of my team for riding this wild ride with me and sticking by my side. We’ve been through amazing times, hurricanes, a pandemic, we’ve put on wonderful events, served millions of guests and so much more and we did it all with love in our hearts, passion for hospitality, and respect for our community. Thank you to our patrons who without them, we are nothing. Every person that walks through our doors is special and we thank them for loving Finka the way we love Finka. Thank you Miami. It’s been a decade of great food, innovative libations and fun service and we hope to do it for many decades more!”
WHERE: Finka is located at 14690 SW 26th Street in Miami.
