Great breakfast, 4/30/2013
Reviewer: Meridith
from Santa Barbara, CA
Went to breakfast at 10 am on Sunday, cold and dreary outside so we sat inside, thinking the morning rush was over. They took care of us right away, but then one group after another arrived, table of 8, table of 10, and I was so impressed how well they handled them! Our food was so good, the hash was the best I've ever had!

Yummy to the Max, 4/8/2013
Reviewer: Steven
from Santa Barbara, CA
I wasn't too keen on their takeover of the Whale Tail, but I finally gave State & Fig a try, and was pleasantly surprised. Although the restaurant was almost empty on Saturday night, and food was slow to arrive, the wait was worth it. The Fig Burger ($14) was a half pound of juicy meatiness, perfectly topped with caramelized onions, smoked bacon, fig jam, bleu cheese, and arugula, served with hot house fries. My wife tells me that the halibut was also expertly prepared ($19). We look forward to going there again soon!

Best clam chowder in town, hands down, great lunch spot, 3/31/2013
Reviewer: Laurie
from Santa Barbara, CA
Yesterday we tried the clam chowder for the first time and WOW was it delicious...creamy w/o flour or too many potatoes, big pieces of clams and bits of bacon. Seriously, it is the bomb. Our lamb dip (!) and red snapper po'boy sandwiches were delicious (and huge). I felt a little gluttonous finishing both halves but they were too good to stop. Love this place!

Great Brunch at State & Fig, 3/18/2013
Reviewer: Melissa
from Santa Barbara, CA
My husband and I had brunch at State & Fig yesterday. It was a fantastic experience! Our server was friendly, professional and very attentive. Some of the best service we have had in town. The menu had so many great choices, it was very hard to decide. My husband had the chicken and biscuits and I had a breakfast burrito. The burrito was good, but the chicken and biscuits stole the show! Absolute perfection, amazing flavors! We also had mimosas. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend State & Fig. We will be returning soon!

A great new spot! The decor is well done, really neat touches for a nice atmosphere. And the menu - oh, each item seemed to create the perfect palate! We all wanted to try at least 2 or 3 dishes and the ones we choose totally lived up to expectations. Really nicely done. Yum! Go visit now :)

Great Place!, 3/1/2013
Reviewer: Denice

This is the first time I have ever written a review, and this restaurant deserves it. I live here and I have often used Restaurant.com to find restaurants to try. State and Fig is truly a great new place! I can't wait to go back. The food and service were excellent. The decor is lovely and really my daughter and I so enjoyed our lunch. It was delicious!

This place should be packed at all times..., 2/17/2013
Reviewer: Kelly
from Santa Barbara, CA
...does no one know about this gem yet? I've been several times... and had amazing meals each time. Yesterday went for brunch with some friends, we had the burrata caprese, a pressed sandwich with ham and fig jam, and a yummy arugula salad. The entrees are simple yet inventive and the ingredients are fresh. The decor is rustic and contemporary, and the service has always been pleasant. I seriously love this place. GO!

First dinner at State & Fig - Perfection!, 2/13/2013
Reviewer: Laurie
from Santa Barbara, CA
Fabulous dinner tonight at State & Fig (excellent service too)! Polenta with mushrooms and crispy kale and tellegio (yum!); grilled asparagus with frizzled egg and pecorino (fabulous); short ribs for him and roasted chicken with green olive tapenade for me (both spot on); dessert was butterscotch budino (=heaven) and a terrific flourless chocolate cake (just the right sweetness and perfect texture). All in all, a wonderful dinner at a comfortable place with the nicest owners you'll ever meet. Patrick and Marissa, you rock! Check out the latest edition of The Sentinel for an article about them.

Why is this place not packed???, 1/20/2013
Reviewer: Christine
from Santa Barbara, CA
Stopped in yesterday for brunch, never been to this restaurant before. NO idea why people stand in line for Cajun Kitchen, this place had too many open tables! Delicious brunch burger with over-easy egg, husband had Pig & Fig panini. Great food, very good service. Great atmosphere. I'd like to make this place a regular go-to and look forward to trying their new dinner service soon, which is new for them. Not pretentious, just good creative food. Reasonable prices for freshly prepped food, we each had a drink and an entree $40.

Wonderful Brunch, 11/13/2012
Reviewer: Marna
from Toluca Lake, CA
My friend & I had brunch on Sat. ... excellent! The waiter was professional & fast ... the bus person never let our ice tea get low & the owners were both there to make sure everything was perfect. They are both so nice ... the restaurant is lovely ... both inside & outside seating with an upstairs. Did I mention the food is excellent! We will be back!

State & Fig brunch is outstanding!, 11/10/2012
Reviewer: Laurie
from Santa Barbara, CA
For our monthly lunch/brunch outing, 2 friends and I had brunch here today (none of us had eaten here previously). We had all been wowed by the brunch menus the owners kindly sent me when I was having trouble seeing them online, and everything was delicious, creative and beautiful. Marisa and Patrick clearly love what they do, and they serve very inventive food in an inviting space (terrific re-model). We shared a cup (= small bowl) of the sausage and kale soup - delicious. Always a mark of a good kitchen. My hash with pork belly and butternut squash was great, and came with 2 eggs, a choice of toast, and fruit. The biscuits and fried chicken was ridiculously good, with jalapeno gravy putting it over the top in the right way. Perfect for a windy, cool day. Portobello benedict was also really flavorful, with pesto hollandaise that we had to refrain from putting on everything on our plates. I can't wait to go back and work my way through the menu! The burgers look as yummy as others have said they are. Lovely private room upstairs, too. Run, don't walk, over to this gem of a restaurant owned by two passionate and genuine people.

Great New Addition, 10/29/2012
Reviewer: Alex
from Santa Barbara, CA
Got the Fig Burger, it was delicious! Definitely recommend trying it out. The rest of the menu looked pretty good too. I went on Sat 10/27 and it was the first day they were doing brunch. The brunch menu looked AMAZING, definetly going back to try it. We sat outside, which was nice, the remodel for the inside looked good.

Fig Burger. Pork Belly Sammy..Enough Said..., 10/19/2012
Reviewer: Huyen
from Santa Barbara, CA
John, you'll have to replace the photos with updated ones because their remodel is quite a change. Warm interior, beautiful photography/artwork, a total makeover - definitely fits the La Arcada Plaza vibe more. Very happy for Marisa and her husband, they have worked hard and it shows. Great lunch crowd today and I hope it stays that way. Enjoyed their speciality Fig Burger - blue cheese, caramelized onions, arugula, bacon and fig jam..great shoestring friends. Friend had the bacon mac & cheese, great portions and tasty! Looking forward to trying other items on the menu - pork belly sandwich is next on my list. Their daily specials looked delicious as well. Go out and support local business!

Best Burger, 10/18/2012
Reviewer: Sharon
from Santa Barbara, CA
My husband and I just had lunch at State & Fig. We have always said if a restaurant can make a good burger, the rest of the menu would be good.
Well if the burger we just enjoyed is any sampling of the rest of the menu, "it's a winner". We are very picky burger eaters, and we had the Fig burger. It was cooked just the way we asked, medium rare and appeared to be a hand made patty". The service was fantastic and the atmosphere great! We will go back.
