I also went here with my husband on our anniversary last fall, and it was wonderful! The staff talked to us the whole time we were sitting at the bar (we wanted them to!), told us all about the history of Ilwaco, what to see and do, and even snuck us a few pieces of cheese that we hadn't ordered, but certainly appreciated! It's a nice break from the chowder and fish&chips places around town.
Review Source:My husband and I went here one evening while visiting the Long Beach area for our anniversary. Â After having a poor experience at a local restaurant, we were looking to drown our sorrows and some friendly faces. Â We got that at Raven and Finch.
The owners were very welcoming and friendly, and the place even comes with a Bar Dog! Â Upon entering the establishment, the feel is warm and cozy. Â I just wanted to curl up with a blanket and good book, enjoy my wine, and relax. Â Although blankets are not provided, there are plenty of magazines to flip through, two comfortable couches, and on this particular evening, there was a guy playing a guitar and singing folk-ish songs in French. Â Aaaaaahhhhh...
The wine is wonderful, and we enjoyed a meat and cheese plate with our beverages. Â So good!
The only improvement I would recommend to the owners is to include some kind of chocolate in the menu. Â Wine and chocolate - yum!
If you ever find yourself in Long Beach or Ilwaco, GO HERE! Â You won't be sorry!
