Finch & Fork: Corner Grill Cocktails

The finest fried chicken in the universe. Great roof top location.

Due to COVID all dining is on the rooftop of the hotel which could be very cool. Instead, it was cold, not enough heat lamps, tables are outside wood tables with uncomfortable seating. We arrived at 5:45 and didn't get our dinner served until 7pm. We were the second party to arrive but the last party to get served. They lost our ticket? While the food was good when we received it, it all seemed to come at once ... a big rush.
The first glass of wine had to be sent back, it tasted /smelled like it was bad. The water also tasted funny.. was it due to the plastic wine glasses they were serving everything in? Who knows. Finally, a 20% tip was included in the bill (for 3 people), the waiter made no mention of it. Luckily we reviewed the bill or we would have tipped twice. Value for experience ?? Low at best. We are locals. Won't be coming back for a while.

Boy what an amazing surprise. Food was, well, simply superb. The flavors melded magnificently in my scallop dinner. Make sure to have the some more pans cotta. Take my advice and order 2. Can’t wait to return.

Keegan provided a great dining experience for my mom & me.

Fantastic food and great service! I will definitely be back.

The food was great and the service even better. However, I wish there were a few more items on the menu or a daily special or two. The selection was a little small. The fried chicken and mashed potatoes were awesome.

Convenient location. Food & drinks were great and somehow the service was better. Bathrooms were superb.

We often went to Finch and Fork because it was one of our favorite restaurants in Santa Barbara. This was the first time we had gone since the pandemic and we found that the burger was different than the burger with fig jam that was served before. You should have kept the old burger! This new burger was just okay, but not nearly as good as the old one. I hear you have a new chef. We ordered deviled eggs and they never came. We didn’t remind the server because we wanted to see if he would bring them but never did. At least we didn’t get charged for them. And there were very few people in the restaurant, so it wasn’t that the server was crazy busy with orders and such. Also, I asked for an Diet Coke and it took forever to come and I had to remind the server. At the end, our bill was wrong....$27 higher than what it should have been. Unfortunately we were not very impressed with the food (burgers) and service. Disappointed ☹️

Bryan, Brett and Keagan were and are amazing!! Took my Fiancé for dinner and absolutely LOVED it! Highly recommend this restaurant

Excellent service, good food, nice ambience.

Love love love Finch and Fork - so glad they're back! The fried chicken is legendary, but you can't really go wrong with any order there.

My husband and I went on the first night back open since COVID shut down. We had absolutely no complaints! Food, service, cleaning, cocktails all were great.

Our server was so friendly and nice. My birthday plans were completely changed because of Covid-19 and our server made sure that we had a great meal and brought me a special birthday dessert. The food was delicious, all four of us loved what we ordered. Will definitely be back!

Wow! What a great restaurant. Awesome service too. All dishes were impeccable with a F&F signature touch. Jidori Chicken was amazing, trout was amazing. This is a NOT miss in SB and an example of how to survive (excuse me, FLOURISH) in a very competitive restaurant market. The great people working there also made it amazing.

Vibe was very hotel restaurant-y. Overpriced, medium portions. Overbearing service.

Great ambiance and great selection of food choices. Service was very good and I would definitely
return if I visited Santa Barbara in the future.

No specials for the night. Ordered steak medium rare, was very well done. Drinks were great, good atmosphere and service.

Great food great server he was helpful with places to go as well

Such good food. All our meals were outstanding. We had the duck, short ribs, trout, pork chops. Started with sweet potato hummus and that was outstanding. Bananas foster milkshake and toffee cake was fabulous. Excellent service. Yummy drinks. A wonderful celebration!

Excellent service and delicious food. Cocktails are an added bonus

Great drinks, great service, friendly atmoshpere but best of all was the fantastic and crative food

The service was excellent but the food this time was not as we recalled from our last experience. The broccoli was overcooked and a couple of other dishes seemed under seasoned. The waiter checked in with us for our opinion 2-3 times and offered to replace the dishes with something else. He also offered to bring us a dessert which we all declined because we were so full. We did acquiesce to a glass of wine. The manager also stopped by to inquire about our meal. We just aren’t complainers and really appreciate the excellent service but the food was sadly lacking compared to the last time we were in.

The scallops were perfectly cooked!!! My Negroni was delish.

This restaurant has a nice atmosphere with a good location and lovely decor. Service at the entrance was not very friendly. Table service was a little sparse but good enough. Good selection of affordable wines. The pork chop was excellent and the cavatelli pasta was good, but not as flavorful as expected. Very nice menu, I would consider returning to try more dishes or meet friends in the bar area.

Annex room is not great but not too noisy either. Ask for main room

Great Restaurant, service, cocktails and meal...Highly recommend...

Avery was the best! The latte’s were second to none, great place for breakfast to get your day going.

I know people have had much better experiences than I have so to be fair I’m just stating how I was treated. I had a reservation, arrived early, it was Valentine’s Day so when the host says “it’s going to be a few minutes before I can seat you.” I would say okay it’s V day very busy, but walking in, no this was nothing the case 3/4 full many empty tables. So you’d think maybe they made me wait because of service or they were going to give me a great table? Okay makes sense but sorry no again, empty booths, empty corner tables and we’re sat at 1 of 5 two person tiny tables to which my wife asks for a booth, the host “says sorry those are for four tops”...”every booth along the wall has 2 people in it she says”. He asks us to wait and moves us to a table in a very quiet part of the place which was nice. I don’t think he told anyone he sat us though because service just went down from there. Apps came out before drinks, water needed chased, dinner took 2 hours 1 app 1 small plate 2 large plates..seems excessive for a 830 reservation. Food was good, drinks were good, wouldn’t return.

Interesting menu and good food. A bit loud for me, and a bit expensive. But overall, we enjoyed it very much.

Excellent service, delicious food, great for a group if you have a reservation

It was some of the best salmon I’ve ever had and a stellar margarita. The service was also outstanding.

Had the Buttermilk Chicken! It was fantastic! Great food, great service!

Service was beyond good. Server really new the menu and exactly what was in the meal down to specific spice.

Good overall experience. Solid food.

Delicious and great service

Really good food and service. Unfortunately took over 30 minutes for someone to take our orders

Our second visit to F & F, we dined here last year. Again, the place was packed but we were seated immediately. Our server, Russell, guided us through the menu. He helped us order just enough food, appetizers and dinners. He selected a wonderful Pinot to complement the food. We cannot wait to go back again next year. Great job !!!

They do a great job on both the small plates and the entree's which are reasonably priced, certainly for Santa Barbara. And I love their washed bourbon cocktails.

Great service and food!

Really good food in a casual atmosphere.
