We had the avocado, toast, deviled eggs, and poke. Everything we had was fantastic! Would definitely recommend.

We stayed at the Kimpton for two days and had breakfast Sunday. I had the eggs Benedict which were yummy. Thick apiece of ham and the sauce was great. My wife had the short braised ribs with poach eggs. The meat was off the chart good! Luckily she got full and I got to finish it. Our server was ant and it a great atmosphere. Highly recommend

My husband turned 76 years old and my son from Austin,Texas came home to Santa Barbara (with his hew girlfriend) to celebrate his Dad's birthday with me. We picked Finch and Fork to celebrate his birthday. We enjoyed all the dishes we ordered and we were impressed by the excellent service of our server Michael. He served our dishes with a smile and utmost hospitality. Our steak and eggs were cooked into perfection. I highly recommend this restaurant to all.

The food was great. I went here for the first time with my grandmother. I got the French toast, it was very good. I ordered it with a side of chicken. The whole meal was very expensive. Which is okay but it did not taste that way. I would not come here again.

Need to lighten up the salt and general flavor...heavy but the Ceasar salad was good..other dishes hard to eat. Service and setting very nice.

Went here this morning for brunch, the food was just ok. I had the eggs Benedict and the ham was a salt bomb, was hard to get through. However, I think the staff apparel was even more disappointing....our waiter was wearing pajama bottoms! As we looked around, we noticed every waiter was unprofessionally dressed; sweatpants, Ted Lasso pants. This is a really nice restaurant, I'm shocked the manager doesn't set a better dress code. We're locals and won't be going back.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Finch & Fork restaurant yesterday and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. Despite making a last-minute reservation for a party of 10, they were able to accommodate us without any hassle. The hostess was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in.Now let's talk about the food. It was absolutely outstanding! We started with the Black Garlic Caesar salad, which had the perfect combination of flavors with the little gem lettuce, parmigiano-reggiano, and brioche croutons (grilled chicken was a bonus!). The King Salmon with gigante beans and piquillo peppers was cooked to perfection and the marbled peewee potatoes added a delightful texture to the dish.One of the highlights of the meal was the Short Rib Pappardelle Pasta. The combination of the tender short rib, wild mushroom soffritto, and crème fraîche created a rich and flavorful dish that left us wanting more. And let's not forget about the 12oz Creekstone Prime New York Steak, which was cooked to perfection and served with delicious weiser farms potato, baby carrots, cipollini onion, and a mouthwatering red wine demi-glace.Side dish: Lemon Herb Broccolini was a delightful surprise. The flavors of preserved lemon, calabrian chili, and garlic elevated this side dish to a whole new level. It was truly amazing!To top it all off, Finch & Fork offers free valet parking, which was a huge plus for our group. Overall, I can't recommend Finch & Fork enough. From the accommodating staff to the exceptional food, this restaurant has it all. It's the perfect place for a memorable dining experience.Parking: Free valet

We hosted our wedding dinner here and could not have been more pleased and impressed with the level of service we received before and during our event. The planning process was very straightforward, Terrell was incredibly easy to communicate with and we were actually able to handle everything via email. We put our wedding together in under 8 weeks and without so much as tasting the food. The room was set up beautifully, we had a private bartender/server who was also incredible and we all felt went above and beyond. He noticed our nephew wasn't eating what he had ordered and immediately got him some chicken tenders and fries so he wasn't hungry. Our drinks kept flowing, the timing of the food was perfect, and we had plenty of time to enjoy the gorgeous space. The food...soooo good. We had cheese croquettes and mini avocado toasts as passed appetizers and both were a massive hit. The salad was absolutely delicious, as was the seasonal soup. I got to try both the chicken entree and the steak and let me tell you, there was not a bad option to be had. Everything was plated beautifully. Dessert was fantastic--cheese plate, fruit dish, or chocolate flourless cake. I tried all three and was super impressed. We also had breakfast here during our stay, which was equally as delish as our wedding meal. Can't wait to come back here in the future!
Food somewhat lacking in flavor...Poke app was great, two entrees (salmon and pork chop) had poor tasting side-dishes and in total made the meals less than enjoyable. Two deserts also lacking in flavor pairing. Service was good.
Good food and a nice atmosphere. The service staff were pleasant but seemed a bit short handed. The deviled eggs and fried chicken were delicious! I also recommend the canary Cadillac and burrata with beets.

Yelp says $$ but this place is really $$$. The lox bagel was great but not special. The service was fine. Please check out the $11 fruit plate that consisted 5 blackberries, 2 grapefruit wedges, and a quarter of an apple. I could have bought the entire fruit for less than this plate cost. Remember that this inside of the Kimpton Hotel and the ambiance really does make you feel like you're in a hotel.

The three of us hadn't been to Finch & Fork in several years. We had a lovely evening! The food was quite tasty, especially the Kung Pao cauliflower, the pomegranate hot sauce for the fried chicken, the sea bass (catch of the day), crisp heirloom marble potatoes (side), and Thai iced tea milkshake (dessert). Service was friendly and attentive. We'll be back for locals night.
