Finch & Fork

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.

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!

Had a great time thanks to Jamie. He was so kind and attentive our entire visit. Highly recommend visiting due to his service!

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

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.

Adding to this review, Smashed Avocado w/salmon and Shakshuka were amazing. Brunch was amazing, eggs Benny are a must! Lemon Ricotta pancakes...chefs kiss.

Upon arrival we were greeted by a moody waiter, who kept us waiting for a table for at least 15 minutes because he said that they were not ready. As we were talking and having a good time we didn’t really pay attention. When we were seated we got another waiter, who was friendly and gave us our menus. There was no one in the restaurant except two other tables. He didn’t come back to take out orders for the drinks for at least 20 minutes, again we didn’t have rally pay attention because we were chatting away. After 20 minutes we got our orders in for the food and drinks. (Tea and coffee), that took again at least 20 minutes to arrive. Then we start really noticing that the waiters were just not there. When I started looking for them to ask them where our drinks were, I went everywhere but they were not to be found. When I made a comment that it took a long while when he brought our drinks finally, he said that it takes a long time to make??? Very rude attitude towards us. Food was great. We just moved here and food wise we would definitely have come back several times. Due to the two rude and moody waiters, we won’t.

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.
