- LLisa MarieVIPPalm Springs / Palm Desert Cities •21 reviews5.0Dined on 1 Jan 2025Finch & Fork in Santa Barbara offers a vibrant and refined take on California cuisine, making it a standout spot for locals and visitors alike. Nestled in the heart of downtown, the restaurant blends a relaxed coastal vibe with modern elegance, perfect for everything from casual brunches to celebratory dinners. The menu is a true showcase of fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Their King Salmon, served with gigante beans, piquillo peppers, and marble potatoes, is a perfectly balanced dish that highlights the chef’s attention to detail.

- EElizabethVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •6 reviews5.0Dined on 28 Dec 2024I love this place; have been several times. I’ve only had dinner at the bar, so can’t speak to table service, but the bartenders work hard, and are funny, attentive and very knowledgeable about wines. The atmosphere is lively and sophisticated. Did I mention the food??? Pizza is amazing here. NY steak & frites is fantastic. Enjoy!More infoIntermezzo By Wine CaskPrice: Expensive • Californian• Santa Barbara•4.6
