Great restaurant attached to the Kimpton Canary Hotel. Staff was excellent and friendly and the food was delicious. We had both a dinner there (the black cod in coconut curry was a great choice) and breakfast (definitely get the short rib sweet potato hash). Surprise highlight are the deviled eggs. We loved them so much we had them twice. And the foccacia bread is light, fluffy, and filled with delicious herbiness. Since we booked through Chase’s The Edit program, we had credits toward both meals, which certainly made the cost more reasonable, but I would say that the restaurant is good enough that I would have happily paid full price.

Went here recently with my family to celebrate my mother’s birthday because we have been multiple times before and she expressed this was one of her favorite restaurants in Santa Barbara. Specifically the Brussels Sprouts! Sadly, the Brussels sprouts were no longer on the menu as they were our favorite dish, gone. Even the waiter agreed and was unsure why they removed them from the menu. However, that truly did not ruin our experience at all. We ordered quite a bit of things and enjoyed the night because everything was good! We ordered the deviled eggs, which were small and nothing too crazy, but a good option to share for the table! We also ordered the kung pao cauliflower.
Now this dish, took us all by complete surprise and quite honestly, stole the show for the whole night. We legit ended up ordering 3 in total because of how good these were. The sauce, the crunch on the cauliflower, the little spice backed by sweet, this was some bomb cauliflower. Would ABSOLUTELY come back just for this dish truly. We all would! The Tomato Veloute, Pork Chop, Short Rib Pappardelle, Scallops and Catch of the Day were all very tasty and good options! Oysters are amazing. A great amount of liquor in them! My only suggestion would definitely be the broccolini. We each took 1-2 bites, just not good. It barely had any flavor and almost tasted like it was undercooked. Would not recommend it, but definitely does not overshadow the rest of the phenomenal dishes. Highly recommend it for a good night out with friends and family and you MUST get the Kung Pao Cauliflower. HAVE TO!

Lovely place, attentive service. The New York steak was yummy, but at the price, we expected a better plating. Sadly the duck breast, while beautifully presented on a parsnip puree with roasted grapes, was a letdown. There was at least an inch of inedible flabby skin on each piece of the oddly cut breast. So removing the skin left a small amount of edible breast. What there was was good but left me wanting more. The roasted grapes were left on the branches, tasted old rather than roasted. For the price, I would expect a better job.

Ordered room service from here at the Kimpton Canary Hotel. The service was quick and the food was phenomenal. I loved every single thing I tried.

The bacon breakfast burrito was delicious and all the ingredients inside were cooked perfectly.

The avocado toast was so flavorful and refreshing.

The French fries had a perfect texture.

The smoked salmon bagel was loaded and the salmon was very fresh.

Not pictured is the OPP brunch cocktail and that was also a delicious, light cocktail to get your day started.

I highly recommend this restaurant. Will definitely be back

We’re from out of town on our honeymoon and saw this restaurant on Google and it looked great! The Poblano burger I had was excellent. I typically eat fast (thanks military!) but this burger had so many layers of flavor to it. You have to dissect the taste of each bite. It’s complex and delicious. The fries were the perfect amount of crispy and salty, also complex in its flavor. Food came quickly from the kitchen!

Jaime, our server was attentive and polite.

The atmosphere is quiet, modern, and minimal

Classy spot with great food and incredible service. We visited to try the new Vegan items on their SB Vegan Chef challenge menu, and we were not disappointed. We got the tostadas from the challenge menu + the mushroom dan dan noodles and the beluga lentils from their normal dinner menu. It was all out of this world delicious. I would go back for the dan dan noodles everyday if I could. They also have amazing mocktails and NA beer. I tried the Spicy AF mocktail with zero proof tequila and was pleasantly surprised. We went on a Monday evening and it was pretty quiet so we got above and beyond service from our server and the manager. The location is stunning. The walk down to the bathroom is gorgeous. I’d come back anytime!

My friend and I went to Finch and Folk for Happy Hour on Sunday. Sun-Thursday, their Happy hour is from 4-6. Drinks are $10. They also have menu items you can purchase. The bartender was friendly and helpful. We ordered deviled eggs and Mac ‘n Cheese.
The bar is beautiful and fully stocked. You can sit in the lounge area on comfy seats or at the bar. The bathrooms are located down the stairs, or by elevator.
We had dinner reservations for 5 p.m. as we were going to see Nickel Creek at the Granada Theatre. My friend had Scallops and Peaches and Burrata Cheese. I had a dish with Cauliflower and Purple Potatoes.
I spent around 30 dollars for dinner and my friend spent around 60 dollars for her dinner and dessert. Our waiter was fun. He had a wonderful personality and was a huge help in serving us and getting us out the door to our concert. The dining room is beautiful and well-appointed.
Please see the attached photos.

I enjoyed my brunch at Finch & Fork.

One of the reasons why I chose this place was for their rooftop dining. When I made reservations on OpenTable, I was confused at the seating options. I tried calling, but no one picked up and frankly my friend and I wanted to try this place anyway.

The rooftop dining was only during the height of the pandemic. The dining room is now only by the lobby.

The decor is nice. Definitely shows that it’s a hotel restaurant. But service was very nice and we got our food quickly.

I got the shakshuka, and it was yummy. The eggs were nicely poached – the yolk was runny and added a richness to the spicy tomato sauce. I like the chucks of avocado. The bread with the tomato sauce, egg yolk, and avocado was the perfect bite.

Many patrons took advantage of their bottomless mimosa deal, and I think that’s the biggest draw. I ordered coffee and that was nice on a cool Fiesta morning.

I think this is a nice place to dine if you’re staring at the hotel. Otherwise, as someone who frequents Santa Barbara, I might not go out of my way to dine here. The menu has mostly a standard brunch fare. And maybe there’s standout dishes their dinner menu. But I’d pass on brunch unless you want bottomless mimosas.

Did not disappoint. Birthday dinner turned date night was excellent. King salmon hit the spot, one of the best salads I’ve had. Service and staff made this a night to remember.

Finch & Fork advertised a special New Year’s Eve dinner with live jazz, so we gave it a go. Very disappointing. Despite the high price tag, there was zero effort to create a festive atmosphere; it felt pretty dull. The servers all seemed harried and under pressure, which doesn’t help the vibe. We were seated so far from the advertised jazz band that we could barely hear them, which was probably not a bad thing. The food tasted okay, but left us feeling mostly underwhelmed. Definitely not worth the ridiculous premium for a drab New Year’s Eve dinner. We had folks join us from out of town and I even felt a tad embarrassed at how flat this was. Luckily we landed up going to a live music venue after, which salvaged the night a bit.
