Fabulous Cocktails with Friendly Bar Service from Finch on Fifth
Pros:

While staying at the Royal Sonesta, I stopped by Finch on Fifth for cocktails and was thoroughly impressed. Erick, the bartender, provided an exceptional bar experience from start to finish. His professionalism, warm personality, and attention to detail immediately stood out.
It was obvious Erick has a genuine passion for hospitality that shines through in every interaction. He created an inviting atmosphere, offered thoughtful recommendations, and crafted outstanding cocktails with skill and precision. It's clear he takes pride in making every guest feel welcome and appreciated.
Thank you, Erick, for the excellent service and memorable experience. Finch on Fifth is fortunate to have you behind the bar, and I look forward to visiting again.
