THE RECORD
What a delightful way to end a meal: a poached pear, turned burgundy from red wine and resplendent with cinnamon and cloves; a banana bread pudding dripping with caramel sauce; a custardy chocolate cake; a creamy crème brûlée singing notes of citrus.
These sweets at Finca, the new global small-plates restaurant in downtown Ridgewood, were also a much-welcomed surprise, having followed two disappointing dinners chosen from a vast, perhaps too wide-ranging menu.
With 98 seats in its spacious dining room with bare wooden tables and another 30 seats at sidewalk tables, Finca is one of Ridgewood’s most prominently located restaurants, occupying the busy corner of Ridgewood Avenue and Broad Street across from the Ridgewood train station.
