Modern Asian American Restaurant from Chefs Peter Lee & Felicia Medina. "Consider the bao. Chinese in origin, it’s most easily described as a steamed bun filled with something savory. Yet, like the American concept of a sandwich, the bao exploded into a flexible format of untold bounds — served at any meal, filled with you-name-it, completely closed or wide open, with endless regional variants from across Asia and far beyond." - Matt Kettmann (SB Independent)1 Block From State Street, Easy Parking, Public Lot Nearby, Free 75 Minute Parking, Walking Distance, El Pueblo Viejo Landmark District, Superior Court, Spanish Colonial Revival Courthouse, Santa Barbara Museum Of Art, Courthouse Gardens, Bell Tower, Bao, Food, Restaurant, Asian, American, New, Modern, Fried, Chicken, Octopus, Vegan, Vegetarian, Paelo, Friendly, Dog Friendly, Outdoor Patio, Heaters, Warm, Inviting, Hospitable, Modern Design

Here at Finch & Fork, we are inspired by the bounty of Santa Barbara's lush farms and rugged coastline. Our attitude is relentlessly local, influenced by the diverse culinary techniques of our neighbors, the subdued, natural colors of our fog-swept cliffs, and the glow of afternoon sunlight on our grapevines. Begin your day with a nourishing brunch or savor an evening of eclectic wines, ingredient-driven cooking, and good company. Finch & Fork is conveniently located on the corner of Carrillo and Chapala streets in the heart of Santa Barbara’s vibrant downtown. Complimentary valet parking for diners upon availability.

    Overall, a great experience. The restaurant is attractive and nicely lit, with small vases of flowers on each table. It was a Monday, not crowded but many tables were occupied. Our table was ready when we arrived. We split a salad, first course and second course. The food was flavorful and well prepared. The pacing was perfect and the quantities made sharing work well. Our cocktails were well crafted and generous. I find this always makes a good impression on me. The server was present and not intrusive. She seemed well informed, offering advice and answering questions without needing to check with someone else. All in all, a great experience and worth going back.

    Attentive and knowledgeable service. We started with the cauliflower potato-leek bisque and caesar salad. I enjoyed the bisque and my partner enjoyed the Caesar salad but mentioned smaller pieces of lettuce would have been nice. There was a mix up with a main but they were very speedy and accommodating. The coq au vin was a little too acidic and needed some more of the puree but it was very delicious, almost too much meat which is a good thing. My partners salmon was delicious and well prepared. We skipped dessert but they looked great. Overall a wonderful experience and if we lived in Santa Barbara this would be a regular place for us.
