    Cake Cutting - Red Velvet Cake by Serina
    Annita M.

    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.

    We celebrated our wedding reception here, and it was magical! The staff made sure every detail was perfect, from the beautifully decorated table to my seating chart. I want to thank Serina, for going above and beyond! From personalized menu recommendations to checking in at the perfect moments, Serina you're Amazing ! The service is unmatched. Serina always answered all my emails in a timely manner. The staff was attentive, ensuring everything was perfect. This restaurant is a hidden gem for special occasions. The elegant decor and peaceful vibe made our celebration even more memorable! Beyond thankful! Words cannot describe or express how much gratitude I have towards the whole team. I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you Patrick! the food and service quality was truly exceptional, Some of the best food I've had recently! The freshness of the ingredients and the unique flavors were unforgettable. :)

    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!

    Stopped by this place on a recent visit to Santa Barbara…read more Not a lot of positive to say, but not bad enough to give it one star. That's for the worst of the worst. There was an indoor area, and we didn't know at the time, but there are separate outdoor waiter service areas and counter service. We did counter service. There were two people at registers. There was literally no one in front of us and no marked nor even obvious line area. Naturally we stand a few feet in front of one of the registers waiting for her to say, "can I help you" before we move to. Instead the woman (to make it worse, I think she was the patio manager because she was older than the others and seemed to be doing more things than just working a register) gives us the, "I need you to wait in the line area over there" and points to a barrel with no indication that it's a line. You know like the old David Spade skit. This already left a bad taste in my mouth because again there was no line marked, no one waiting, and it's not like we got up in her space or were being pushy. She was just power tripping. To make it worse, we came here because they literally have "full bar" painted on the outside of the building, and the other places around are mostly wine bars or beer gardens. BUT (keep reading)... One of the young people working calls us from the "line of just us" to help us (because of course the other woman wasn't going to). They have 3 specialty margaritas listed. I ask if I can just get a "regular margarita". She says "no because they only sell pre-made drinks". Uh, what about the FULL BAR? Then we sit down. They have a few long picnic bench style tables. They all had a party at them but they were big so we asked a group if we could share the opposite end. The other customers were cool and had no problem with it. BUT... There were no napkins nor condiments. When our food arrived, it was mediocre. We left unhappy but didn't make a fuss. As we were leaving, the power tripping woman thanked us for coming as if she hadn't just been a total B to us for no reason.

There's no sign. I drove by several times and parked, determined to find it. It was next to Lama Dog. I ordered at the window from a very friendly and efficient staff member. I found a nice bar-height communal table inside a super cool restored warehouse with awesome indie music jamming, also surrounded by big screens and sporting events. I ordered a bottled Arnold Palmer from the bar, not realizing the bottled drinks are self-serve. Nevertheless, the bartender kindly got it for me along with a glass of ice. Now here's the best part: the very best Turkey Burger I have ever had--way better than any take-out before. It's topped with garlic aioli, avocado, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, and crispy skinny onion rings, just perfect. I also ordered the fries with truffle and Parmesan--absolutely delicious, though a bit too flavorful, which overshadowed the turkey burger's flavor. I've tried both sweet and regular potato fries here, and they are excellent too. This place really hits the spot. Can't wait to come back.

It was $25 for the Lobster mac & cheese, which I would've been more open to with a bit more fish in the dish. Plus, when I go to grab a beer, I'm not necessarily wanting to pay $20+ for a burger without fries. That being said, it's still a good spot to grab some food while drinking a beer at Lama Dog.

No vermouth. Very weird and sounds kinda gross, so I requested a classic vodka martini instead with vermouth and the olive. They bring out just a glass of chilled vodka, no vermouth, and a cheese olive. I check the bill: $12 MARTINI -$5 UP (upgrade?!? Are you joking? It's a SWAP!) -$1 CHEESE OLIVE (ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?) So they charged me $18 to turn their decapitated martini made with UCSB student-budget vodka into a regular martini, and then charged me extra for the already included olive because I had the gall to change the drink! The waitress didn't even bother mentioning how I barely touched the drink, which our usual Opal servers would have 100% caught onto. Younger girl with black hair and very nonchalant, dismissive attitude. Atmosphere looked nice but between the fire alarm going off from someone burning something in the kitchen, table of 6 behind us that had cackling harpy laughs (not unusual for Opal), and the blasting music, you can't even have a decent conversation at dinner. I'm pretty over this place and will not recommend it anymore. I always try to stay positive about SB's food scene as someone from LA, but constant experiences like this are what make me go "Damn, if only the food here didn't suck so badly...."
