“This restaurant is absolutely lovely every time. All of the food I have ever tried has been fresh and delicious.

You can tell that the owner cares and it flows down through every detail. Your hard work is appreciated and noticed!

The food is VERY good. The coconut cake is a must do at the end of the meal. Share if you must but don't go away without ordering a slice. Life is too short.“

“The pan-seared peppercorn-crusted filet mignon with potatoes au gratin and sautéed asparagus were as good as I've had anywhere. Thick, small and perfectly cooked medium-rare. And the thinly-sliced tomato salad was the perfect starter. We brought our own wine, but their in-house selection is outstanding. The staff were all extremely courteous and helpful. Our waiter, Dominic, was professional and attentive, and we never felt rushed. We enjoyed a two and a half hour anniversary dinner in a lovely outdoor setting and will definitely revisit when we're back in Santa Barbara! Thanks to everyone at Bouchon for a very special evening.“

“Whenever we visit a new city, I google the top restaurants and try out #1 and #2 and it just so happened that Finch and Fork was #1. We arrived early for our reservation, so we had a drink at the bar and were greeted by Sebastian. He was very personable and knowledgeable and we felt that he cared and enjoyed what he does for his customers. We were then greeted by the manager and escorted to our table and wished my husband a Happy Birthday. Oddly enough, our waiter also was the person who served us breakfast at the hotel we were staying at. Being in the hotel industry myself, this was very common for food and beverage employees to work at multiple establishments. Since we had viewed the menu while sitting at the bar, we already knew what we wanted to order for dinner. We had the F&F Deviled Eggs, Black Garlic Caesar, Fried Chicken and Hope Ranch Mussels. Everything was amazing and delicious. We would definitely refer this restaurant to our family and friends.“

“If you are looking for an Amazing And Beautiful event venue for a wedding reception, a birthday party, a bachelorette, or any occasion venue. I Highly Highly recommend State and Fig in Santa Barbara! From planning to execution, Patrick and Serina made my niece’s wedding Perfect! I don’t use Perfect lightly, as I am known to be critical and a perfectionist especially when it comes to events. They made my niece's wedding planning experience so easy, from booking the venue to providing Customized menu options, and ALWAYS received quick responses any time we had questions as well as added personal touches of their own to the wedding. Serina and Patrick were extremely helpful, detailed, and knowledgeable and knew exactly what we wanted and how they could help. On the wedding day, The whole staff was very friendly, attentive, communicative, accommodating, Extremely helpful, and responsive, from assisting with centerpiece decorations, to serving hors d’oeuvres Always with a smile, making sure Each and Every guest was taken care of throughout the night, I was very impressed! Now for the food, EXCEPTIONAL, the taste was phenomenal, the meat was tender, the salmon was cooked perfectly, Nothing was over/undercooked, so delicious and the guests would not stop talking about how good the hors d’oeuvre and main courses were! Thank you, Serina, Patrick, and your staff from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make my niece’s wedding day beyond wonderful, and Perfect! We certainly will be back even for a weekend getaway! 😊“

Root Burger American • $
558 University Rd, Santa Barbara - 2.02 miles

“The vegan burger (plus the combo fries and drink) is amazing. Probably the best clearly-labelled vegan burger you're going to get in the area, since it has a good patty, a good bun, and a delicious thousand island sauce, and the vegan options in IV are lacking… $10 for a vegan burger, fries, and drink is better than almost any place I've been to. Fast service, but you eat in a cafeteria-like setting. Haven't tried the black bean or hummus burger, but I'm sure they're good too. I come here every week as a lunch between my classes.“
