Simply amazing - Tempted to LICK plate

This was absolutely amazing! I never thought I would find a fine dining experience in College Park and on a MAIN STREET! Then here come THE PECAN. I was floored. My entire family was visiting from Nova Scotia Canada and I was taken to the restaurant from a longtime Atlanta transplant. He had also only heard about it but never had gone. I ordered the Loin Chops with Haricots Verts and potatoes. The chops were melting in my mouth and the sauce was something both sweet and tart. I HATE veggies but these "french cut green beans" were crisp and sweet. The potatoes were just dense enough to not make me hungry still. My family had a variety of items including: Chicken dish and Seafood dish. My toddler niece even enjoyed her jasmine parsley rice and she's extremely fussy. For dessert I played it safe because I am not really into nuts so I had the chocolate cake BUT I wish I would have tried the PECAN pie. That pecan pie was ordered by 4 of us and boy did they rave about it. The pecans were strewn throughout the pie and not just on the top. You could actually see the pecans with every bite - very different. My sister ordered peach cobbler - this was her first cobbler ever since growing up in Nova Scotia Canada. Owner/ Chef Tommy also came out to greet us in his tailored suit. The staff was warm and friendly and not pretentious. Everyone dressed wonderfully - the way one should when you are out dining (ties for men and dresses for ladies). My family was so thankful to my close Atlanta transplant who also knew Owner/ Chef Tommy. We were so thankful that my family also invited Chef Tommy to come and visit Halifax, Nova Scotia and Sydney, Nova Scotia Canada. Let me add that I am a columnist and broadcaster who has lived in NYC for 10 years - I would dare put THE PECAN on a Zagat's best eatery anyday! Owner is a MOREHOUSE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE former employee - great entrepreneurialship. - Thumbs up from "Victory Waters" of Victory Waters SPEAKS! and "Brother X".
- Pros: Food, Service, Dresscode, no liquor license (not a bar atmosphere), Romantic
- Cons: Not highly visible area, no liquor license (if a drink is important to you), Not really for kids unless they are WELL behaved - this is not TGIF

The Pecan must be nuts!

I went to this restaurant around October of 2007. The food is incredibly overpriced for such a small portion of simple items. Though the lamb chops were excellent, the portions were incredibly small and cost about $30+ The sweet tea was, even for me, diabetes inducing. It was so sweet it gave me a headache. I would not recommend this restaurant. If you want to spend $30+ on 3 lamb chops, you'd be better off going to Fogo de Chao, where for $30 You get as much meat as you can handle! lamb, beef, pork, chicken. All excellent. If you happen to be in the college park area and want to dine in, (though not the same type of food) you'll feel much better about your money and the taste and portions of the food at Fina Bistro.
- Pros: Most of the food tasted well seasoned and nice.
- Cons: Way too expensive for what you get, with skimpy portions and average sides
