    Note that this is a review specifically for a private event (wedding lunch reception). My wife and I recently got married at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and were looking for a restaurant to host a lunch reception and State & Fig absolutely delivered. A 5/5 experience and we would certainly work with them again. We were in contact with Serina for about a year before the wedding and she was very accommodating, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire process. We initially met with her to discuss our vision, had a food and cake tasting, and also a final walk through with our coordinator to ensure everything was smooth. In terms of food, atmosphere, and service, I would want to go through all three in detail: 1) Food: We had a lunch style buffet and the food options were fresh and many of our guests gave very positive feedback and took shameless second trips. Serina and the owner (Patrick) were able to source many of the ingredients seasonally and cater to our guests' palate (Asian-inspired, etc.). We had a tasting and they took our feedback into consideration in earnest. Moreover, our strawberry cake was AMAZING. 2) Atmosphere: The restaurant had a great layout for our party size (~90 or so) with seating inside, outside, and upstairs. This arrangement allowed us to have an intimate reception despite having a lot of guests. The decor in the restaurant is minimal, which allows customization to make the space truly our own. State & Fig allowed us to borrow a few decorations, which was generous. 3) Service: The two points before were already excellent, but State & Fig's outstanding service took the lunch reception to another level. Serina was a joy to work with in terms of bringing our vision to life and was always there to make things easy for us. Patrick ensured that this was a special day for us, and encouraged us to soak it in and enjoy it as much as we can. And the wait staff and servers on the day of were professional and attentive. For that, we are immensely grateful. There were other restaurants that we toured before selecting S&F, and it was clear that hosting the reception would simply be a transactional business affair. This felt like a genuine desire to make our special day a memorable experience. Overall, a 5/5 experience and we hope that others will be able to have State & Fig host their special day. P.S. A funny aside: we met a couple sitting next to us during our tasting, who were returning to celebrate their anniversary after getting married at S&F. They told us we were in good hands and not to worry, and we AGREE.

    I hosted my reception for 25 people at State & Fig on 6/12/2025. I first sent out an inquiry to State & Fig and started speaking to Serina in January 2025. I then spent the following months having many back and forth emails with Serina regarding my event. She was incredibly helpful, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and friendly. I can't highlight enough how incredible Serina was to work with. She was willing to listen to any questions, decoration ideas, or concerns that I had. I have no question that if it wasn't for her, my reception wouldn't have turned out as dreamy as it did. She helped me make my dreams come alive. I used some of the decoration they provided and brought some of my own - just to make it more confusing! Haha The State & Fig team was incredible on the day of my event - always attentive and helpful to my guests. My wedding cake was also done by Serina. It was a red velvet cake, and it was one of the best cakes I've ever had in my life! I still dream about having another bite I'd absolutely have my reception at State & Fig again, and I hope I can work with Serina again in the future! Thank you so much to State & Fig (and specially Serina) for the incredible experience!

    We recently hosted a rehearsal dinner at State & Fig. Serina made planning from across the country so easy. She and Patrick were so flexible and accommodated our dietary needs and last minute changes so graciously. Serina and her team set up all of our decor and totally captured the vision I had. They had cold waters and chilled wines ready upon arrival as the weather had been quite warm for our rehearsal. So thoughtful! The arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette, goat cheese, pistachios and peaches was FANTASTIC! The scallops and the bistecca were excellent as well. Everyone raved about the food, the service, and the setting. The cocktail hour out on the patio was a great way to welcome our guests, and the high ceilings and windows inside really made the space feel elegant in the candlelight - the setting was perfect. I highly recommend hosting your event at State & Fig!

    Updated with professional photos at State and Fig! Still in awe of our quaint little reception with a small group of family. Love everything about this day and I have Serina and team to thank!

    I highly recommend State & Fig in Santa Barbara if you are looking for a charming venue for an intimate wedding reception, a party, or any special occasion get-together. You can go to www.stateandfig.com and complete their contact form to get in touch with the most amazing manager, Serina, who will work with you on the planning and then coordinate with her team to execute the plan flawlessly. My daughter decided to have her wedding ceremony at the Santa Barbara courthouse. I helped her plan the wedding dinner/reception and ended up choosing State & Fig as the venue because of the great reviews about the food and other successful receptions held there, the convenient location, and, of course, Serina. During the planning, Serina and I exchanged multiple emails, and she was super responsive to my many (many, many) questions and requests. Her responses were always informative, helpful and kind. I was so grateful for her help. The reception turned out just beautiful! The bride and groom were very happy. Family and friends were impressed with the lovely restaurant, the friendly and attentive service by the staff, the delicious food, the beautiful wedding cake. Not one negative comment about anything! We had such a wonderful time! Thank you, Serina and the State & Fig staff, for the amazing work you did for my daughter's wedding reception.

    Love this brunch place! The service is always so friendly! The outdoor seating is beautiful with vibrant flowers. Their non alcoholic Arnold palmers are a great choice apart from their bottomless mimosas!

    I hosted my brother's wedding rehearsal dinner here and it was AMAZING! I worked with Serina to rent out the restaurant for the evening and plan the whole event and she was excellent. Throughout the entire process, she was informative, communicative, and so easy to work with. The restaurant was beautiful and the food was exceptional - all the guests were super impressed by the quality and quantity of the food, and service was excellent! We loved the customizable menu and all the personalized touches! I will definitely be back soon! THANK YOU STATE & FIG, and especially Serina!!!

    I recently had my baby shower(high tea) here at State & Fig and I couldn't have been more happy with this choice! All of my family and friends who attended are still talking about it. The food, the service and location was great! I loved that we had the space all to ourselves. Serina was so responsive and accommodating during the planning process and the food was delicious! Patrick(the owner), Serina and her team went above and beyond on the day of and made the whole experience so wonderful. As an event planner myself it was nice to have a team who I could trust to help create and produce my vision. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for your next private event or meal. Thanks again team State & Fig! Photos: Amber Dolyak Photography

    The bird with fries.
    Danielle R.

    Service is always wonderful!! Charming patio seating (inside seating too)!! And I overhear people being very pleased with their food (lots of salad orders). Unfortunately, the same sandwich I always get has changed over the years and it just gets worse. "The bird," use to have a light smear of aioli, the chicken was fried in a light airy batter, never greasy. And the Cole slaw was a fresh, light, vinaigrette based slaw with green apples and green cabbage. IT WAS SO GOOD!!! Light and fresh. Never greasy. My sandwich was a heavy greasy batter and soggy from being drenched with some sauce that seemed like spicy ranch? Also heavy in taste. Very messy! The slaw is just a bunch of red cabbage. Not even close to the sandwich it use to be. Hopefully they bring it back to the unique, special sandwich it use to be.

    Figg'in Toast
    Maria W.

    Really great brunch spot!! The staff were awesome, the location is in this cute little court area and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and the service is extremely quick (on an early Saturday afternoon no less)! I definitely suggest coming here with someone and splitting something sweet and something savory; the Figg'in French Toast was absolutely delicious but was so sweet that I definitely would've gotten a toothache if I hadn't had half a burger to bounce off of. It was filled with the creamiest of cream cheese spreads, and was honestly just mouthwatering otherwise. The burger was also really good; it had an entire breakfast buffet in it, stuffed with sausage and bacon and egg on a brioche bun. Super tasty. And the potatoes that came on the side were extremely soft and well-flavored, although maybe a bit dry. The sides of fruit were ripe and tasty, and the orange juice I ordered was sweet and refreshing. Thank you State and Fig!

It was refreshing and energizing on a day when it was like 98 million degrees. I would love to come back and try the other offerings the next time I'm in town. Five stars!

These little works of art were not only gorgeous but tasted delicious as well! Their pastries are also a must. I love their Bacon Cheddar Chive Scone!

The Duck Confit Hash was another winner. It comes with crispy potatoes, hollandaise, pickled fresno chile, cilantro, and poached egg. I enjoyed the Parmesan, sundried tomato, and basil quiche as well! They also offer a Seasonal Handcut Pasta Dish which changes. It's from Aperitivo, and they make such good fresh pasta!

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and just really well done. It's owned by a couple (they were even featured in a magazine a few years back), and you can genuinely feel that care and intention in the space--from the atmosphere to the team working there. Nothing feels rushed or impersonal. What really says a lot--we kept coming back every day we were there. It's one of those low-key, slightly hidden gems that ends up being the highlight of your trip.
