Finch & Fork: Corner Grill CocktailsGreat place to have a conversation.Great place to have a conversation. You can actually hear each other. Service quite attentive, food delicious. The trout and the scallops were very good.5/27/2013 12:00:00 AMAhhh... too bad we were notAhhh... too bad we were not a local, otherwise Finch and Fork would be my to-go place for food. The food was amazing; The ribs (off happy hour menu) were excellent and so flavorful you just want to lick the bone off even if you already finished the meat. Too bad by the time we got this appetizer the happy hour was over, otherwise, we would totally order more of it ($4).
The raw oysters, salads, garlic and parmesan fries, tacos off happy hour menu were all excellent.
We picked the special menu as the entree - Whole Bass Taco and oh boy! It was the most innovative, delicious and fun dish to try.
As if we were not full by this time, we also split a banana milkshake and Yelpers were right! It was THAT good!
So Yummy!5/22/2013 12:00:00 AMVery Nice!We were very pleased with our meal at this newly updated restaurant. Food is fresh and interesting, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. The salmon tartare flatbread is delicious. Great place to meet friends!5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent preparations, lovedExcellent preparations, loved the duck and special. Nice wine choices. Personable staff. Mid week, not highly attended, but nice location and interior. Would recommend.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMWe really enjoyed our experienceWe really enjoyed our experience at Coast. Our server Jessica was very friendly. Our reservation through Open Table got messed up somehow and the manager went out of her way to call O.T. and get it taken care of so I could get my points (1000 to be exact). Really appreciate that! Our food was very tasty! We had the Coast burger, the potato and fennel soup, a salmon taco, and the ahi salad. We will be back! Thanks!3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat barley risottoA sophissticated restaurant in the Canary Hotel. Great trout with a fabulous side of barley risotto.

We stayed 4 nights in Santa Barbara and ended up here twice for late night meals.3/11/2013 12:00:00 AMWe ended up at Happy Hour--excellenWe ended up at Happy Hour--excellent $5 Manhattans and Margaritas. Awesome huge plate of truffled fries with mustard aioli for (I think it was) $5. I would definitely return here, if I lived in the area. Prompt and friendly servers. Nice !2/21/2013 12:00:00 AMVery pleased and will be backSince we're a fan of Kimpton hotel restaurants, we were hopeful that the relatively new owners had improved Coast and they have. Everything from the cozy booths, friendly service to the inventive yet unfussy food were excellent. Added bonuses: the chef came to chat with us at the end of the meal and live guitar music in the bar at 8pm added to the special occasion feeling of our experience.2/16/2013 12:00:00 AMDining on Valentine’s DayDining on Valentine’s Day during the 7pm crush was not a problem. We ordered off of the chef’s special menu. The bone in rib eye was perfect. Their wine list had some notable choices in every price range. Reservations are a must if you want a romantic evening with the best tables and service.2/14/2013 12:00:00 AMPleasantly SurprisedCoast was more then I expected!

Would definitely recommend it and would return for another meal.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst time to Santa BarbaraFirst time to Santa Barbara and was looking for a nice lunch spot to end our trip. And boy did I find one. The food was amazing, just gave it 4 stars though because it lacked seasoning. Best Bloody Mary I've had, I liked it because it had a little bit of heat to it which I love. Everyone there was super friendly, I will for sure be coming back and telling friends about it.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and service. LambGreat food and service. Lamb Burger is exceptional!
