Reviews for Finch & Fork in Santa Barbara, CA

Finch in Fork, is a fantastic restaurant. I am a picky eater and no joking, when I went there for my first time, I wanted to... return, the next day. For weeks every time I made dinner all I kept thinking is I want the Fried Chicken Oysters from Finch andFork, which are super tender and crisp without being oily and the honey drizzle on it, makes a persons tastebuds so happy!!!From the small plates, to entrées, wine selection, unique an extremely tasty drinks, to delightful desserts, there is seriouslysomething for everyone. The staff only makes the experience there that much better, such as David the bartender and Gabby one ofthe servers. If you are a locate and haven’t gone there yet, be prepared to want to go back again and again. If you are avisitor make it one of your stops, it is worth every penny. Read more

Where to start on this less than Denny's experience. Saddest breakfast ever... A 5 year old can boil bland potatoes and serve... up one piece of hard toast with bread from a .99cent store too. Not too worry after 35 min from seating you they willeventually show up to your table to serve up some delicious disappointment! Out of all the selections nearby this place shouldbe a last resort.

I called in advance and asked if I can bring my dog to the restaurant. They said yes. I asked once again at the front if I can... come in with my dog and they said yes. Later, a manager came and said they don’t allow dogs inside and it’s the CaliforniaLaw. He added he understands how it can be confusing since the hotel lets in dogs as if we hadn’t asked the staff. He told uswe can eat in the lobby and left. Understandable but no one redirected us to where we can sit in the lobby. We weren’t reallygiven an option to cancel our order even though I shared with the front lobby I’m not sure if I want to stay and eat at thelobby. Staff was nice but I’m pretty unhappy how the manager seemed very unapologetic and we had to eat right by the hoteldoor instead of being given the option to cancel and leave. Read more

Friendly and professional staff. Delicious with fresh ingredients brunch. My hubby got a the brioche french toast & was... absolutely delighted. I had the salmon bagel. I loved the unique spin with the chipotle cream cheese. Definitely recommend if inthe area for a brunch. Read more

The quality of the food is seriously 5/5 and the portion sizes are very fair. The service is good too, no problems with that at... all. However, the only reason for the four stars is simply because the restaurant needs to hire more servers, sometimes theplace can get packed and there will be literally one server for all tables(~10+ tables), which increases wait times. SantaBarbara is a vacation spot, so these wait times might not bother most people, but it is a fair critique to note. Otherwise, theservice is good. The servers are professional and considerate! Even providing accommodations if needed, like iced-coffee. Oneof my favorite brunch choices was the almond butter & banana(take a look at the photo I provided). The quality of the food wasconsistent, every time. Read more

Good food and cocktails, patchy service. We went to celebrate my wife's birthday and said so when asked during the on-line... booking. We arrived and were quickly seated. We waited a while before the waitress came to take our drink and appetizer order. It took a while to get those items. When they arrived we ordered our main courses. These dishes arrived before we'd finished ourdrinks, and the salad came with the hot food. We had also ordered a bottle of wine, which came out of sync. Our appetizer, saladand main courses were very good, as was our dessert. However, apart from our waitress wishing my wife happy birthday, there wasno recognition of that event. Why bother asking when we booked? Read more

Love the renovated space and the upgraded color palette. The service was attentive and the food was visually appealing and... tasty. By far one of the best yoghurt parfaits I’ve ever had. Kuddos to their culinary team! Read more

Very nice restaurant inside a hotel building. The interior is airy and simply but elegantly decorated. They set up a table for... our large group and we had great time. The food selection was limited but good quality. Our orders were messed up and servicewas slow but they fixed it immediately. We will come back again when in town Read more
