Finn & Fire, an upscale Peruvian and Japanese fusion restaurant focused on steak and seafood, began its soft opening in Old Town.
The restaurant at 111 N. Pitt Street comes from owner Ghazal Amir, who also owns Crab Cab Bar and Kitchen in Fairfax County. It replaces Kismet Modern Indian, which closed in 2025 after nearly four years.
According to a hiring notice, Finn & Fire has “a strong seafood focus, live-fire influence, premium meats, and a polished steakhouse sensibility.” The Peruvian Nikkei cuisine is a fusion influenced by Japanese immigrants in Peru.
The restaurant, which received design services from Alexandria’s JMc Architects, features interior seating centered around a flame-themed pillar and a bar.
Hours are 5-10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 5 p.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. The restaurant does not yet have a website set up. Until Finn & Fire sets up its reservation link, customers can contact the restaurant at 571-488-6955 or through its Instagram page.
