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.

    Food was all very very good. We had a someone in our group with a pretty severe food allergy and the staff and chef went above and beyond to see to her safety, even modifying dishes to accommodate. It was a great experience and we will definitely be coming back.

    The brunch menu was very tasty. We ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes and scrambled eggs/bacon and our server was happy to divvy up the eggs onto two plates. Seems simple but it made an impression.

    Came for breakfast. Cute hotel restaurant, not large Very friendly staff. Got the breakfast burrito and eggs benedict. Both very tasty, well seasoned almost to the point of too salty for sensitive people, but I love flavor. Would go back
