    Amazing! The food, service, and ambience. My favorite restaurant (along with their Patisserie in downtown SB). Their menu has something for everyone, and the staff is very welcoming and attentive. It’s heaven if you’re gluten free, and a delicious experience if you’re not.

    Went here on Valentine’s Day at 2pm for lunch. Had a great experience, they had a special menu. Everything was delicious including the lemonade. Service was great from a young man working that day. Was super windy outside so luckily we sat inside and we were one of the only ones, definitely a great experience.

    Four of us had a wonderful dinner at Finch and Fork the other night. The corkage fee is a little outrageous but the food was delicious and the server was very knowledgeable and engaged. We started with a Kung Pao cauliflower which was truly outstanding! A couple people had the halibut special and they enjoyed that very much - no leftovers to take home. I had the short rib pappardelle which was very good.
