The last time my friend and I were at Finch & Fork was 2016. Fast forward to 2026, we did not realize it was attached to the Kimpton Canary Hotel that we were staying at this trip. Totally redecorated, totally different feel than when we were there in 2016. So our last night in Santa Barbara we decided to take advantage of their kick-ass Happy Hour. We sat at the bar right at 4:00, Kayla was our bar tender for the evening. We indulged in HH Martinis, Beer and Sparking Wine. We took advantage of the HH $1.00 Oysters and each had a HH 50% off Smash Burger. Great presentation, the Oysters were v

Top to bottom, this place was awesome. Hotel restaurants are typically just alright. On a rare occasion, they are "good". But Finch & Fork was great! Super fresh ingredients and absolutely delicious. We had the burger, chicken sandwich and Caesar with salmon. Burger was phenomenal. High quality thick patty cooked to a perfect medium rare. Ponlaos and bacon were phenomenal touches Caesar Was light and beautiful. One of the best Caesars I have had in a very long time. And then Came the service. Phenomenal waiters. And Robert, the manager, is like an old school Maitre D. He came to the table,

Long story short, we hated (almost) everything. - Focaccia bread. This was a literal small loaf of bread (picture below), thick cut, doughy, not at all like any other focaccia bread I've ever had. We ate one slice between us. - Kale Salad. My wife burst into laughter when it was served. See picture. It was a pound of kale, a drizzle of dressing, and a handful of nuts and raisins tossed on top. The pieces of kale were giant, so she had to take a knife and fork to it. Maybe ate 10% of it. - Dan Dan Noodles. Overcooked, the noodles were mush, the taste was weird, everything was soggy. Inedible.

I would have never guessed this was part of a hotel 🏨😮! Such a fun spot for brunch 🥞✨. They had a unique twist on classic recipes 🍳🍠—everything was refreshing, tasty, and full of flavor 😋🌿. You can tell the ingredients are high quality and super fresh. Our server Erik was amazing 🙌—so attentive and kind. Big thank you to him for making the experience even better! 💙👏 Definitely a hidden gem I’d come back to! 🌟🍴
