State & Fig

Ruben Witting

State & Fig is a gem tucked away in Santa Barbara! 🌞 The atmosphere is casual yet trendy, perfect for a relaxing meal. I stopped by for brunch and was blown away by their avocado toast topped with poached eggs - so fresh and flavorful! The coffee was top-notch, too, making it a great spot for caffeine lovers like me.

The service was impressively fast, and I appreciated the outdoor seating option. Perfect for a sunny day! Just a heads up, it can get quite busy, so I recommend making a reservation. Definitely coming back soon! ☕🍽️

Hosted a dinner event at this place on a Thursday night.
We rented out the restaurant.
The staff was a joy to work with - it seems like they all get along fantastic which makes for a great experience as a guest! The food was impeccable as well.
Can't say enough good things!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at State and Fig and it was the best decision we have ever made! We had our ceremony at the courthouse (which we also recommend) and then walked over to State and Fig for our cocktail hour and dinner.
When I walked into the restaurant and saw my vision come to life, I almost cried.
It was the most beautiful and magical night all thanks to Serina, Patrick, and the rest of the staff! I have sooo many amazing things I can say about this place, the staff, and the food.
Serina is wonderful! She answered all of my questions through email at all times of the day/night.
Her and Patrick made all of my wishes and vision possible! Any ideas I threw at them, they were excited to make happen for us.
We had 25 guests and did a one hour passed tray cocktail hour.
The hors d’oeuvres were outstanding!!! We chose the crab cakes, steak skewers, and burrata toast (still dreaming about these!!!) and everyone LOVED all of it.
We also chose to do the drink package which included beer, wine, champagne, soda, tea, coffee, juices and it was perfect! The drinks were good and they kept the bar flowing smoothly all night.
Now for the dinner.
I was shocked by the food! I knew the quality was going to be amazing but the portions were huuuuge!!! We started with a classic house salad and the entrees we chose were salmon, chicken, and short ribs.
Everyone raved about the food all night.
It was sooooo good.
Then to close out our dinner we had their chocolate cake. The entire process from start to finish was so easy.
Serina and Patrick were so responsive and accommodating of changes even on the day of our event! They allowed us to come to the restaurant the day before and set up a mock up table and leave our decor with them so they could replicate our vision the next day.
We got to play our own music and even had a grand entrance and space for our first dance.
It was such a perfect night! We will be recommending State and Fig to everyone forever! We are already looking forward to our next trip to Santa Barbara to eat here! Thank you Serina, Patrick, and the other wonderful staff for making our wedding day so special!!!

High priced mediocre food with a little attention to detail.
Went staff seemed disinterested and in providing prompt service.
The kitchen was incredibly slow.
We only ordered entrées at lunchtime, the restaurant was mostly empty, and we still sat at our table with nothing but water for almost an hour.
I would not willingly return.
The corner of the restaurant is beautiful, and the location is really remarkable.
I love this little alleyway district.
But next time I would choose a different restaurant.
