About This Spot

Stepping into State & Fig feels like being welcomed into a cherished neighborhood gathering spot where the pace slows and genuine moments take center stage. Nestled just off Santa Barbara’s State Street, this Californian restaurant offers a cozy yet uplifting atmosphere that balances thoughtful sophistication with everyday ease.

The space is warm and inviting, filled with soft light and touches that hint at fresh, local ingredients dancing from kitchen to table. There’s a comforting hum of chatter that comes from friends catching up and families celebrating quietly important milestones — a place where breakfast can gently stretch into brunch and where a midday meal carries the same care as an evening occasion.

The heart of the experience lies in how the food feels both familiar and thoughtfully curated. Whether it’s the rich, satisfying notes of a carefully crafted Benedict or the bright refreshment of a seasonal mimosa, the menu effortlessly invites you to savor the best of Santa Barbara’s bounty. Every bite carries a story of local farmers, kitchen passion, and a team that listens to what makes a moment special.

A notable thread woven through the fabric of State & Fig is its thoughtful hospitality. From intimate gatherings to larger celebrations, the staff’s attentive presence creates a calm sense of ease. Several guests have found their most meaningful days — weddings, brunches, and receptions — gently guided by this team’s dedication to details, from personalized menus to the artful arrangements of table settings.

Whether you come for a casual midday meal or an event that lingers warmly in memory, State & Fig crafts a distinctive experience rooted in connection, authenticity, and the enjoyment of good food shared in good company.

My daughters wedding reception was held here and WOW. They were OUTSTANDING!!! Serena helped organize the whole thing and made it effortless for us. The service was so attentive! The food was so fresh and delicious....like Farmers Market Fresh (chefs kiss). You can order your cake from them and ours was 2 cakes with 3 layers...and WOW. It was so moist and delicious! They served really good prosecco and various juices for mimosas. I can't rave enough about why you should have a unique and beautiful reception here!

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 They had the whole outside area set up for my guests to be able to wait comfortably and served them drinks while they waited as well - so thoughtful!! 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 held our wedding rehearsal brunch at State & Fig and it was absolutely beautiful! We were so happy with how the event turned out because it was centrally located (close to State St & our venue), competitively priced with other nearby options, and the staff was so attentive and helpful! They set the tables beautifully and really made the event feel so special. The food was also delicious with huge portions. Serina was amazing to work with throughout the planning process. Thank you State & Fig!

Serina and her team spoiled us with an incredible custom menu and a stress free wedding reception. It’s not an exaggeration to say she worked tirelessly to incorporate personalized themes so that each dish was a reflection of us. The night of, they facilitated happy hour, appetizers, open bar, mocktails, dinner, cake cutting, and dancing. We are very grateful for their partnership.

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!!!

This place is amazing, the staff is hard working and they go above and beyond when it comes to service and the care for their customers! They hosted our wedding that was intimate with 30 close friends and family and made it a magical experience! The food was so amazing, the owner and GM could not have done a better job on making it so easy and so hospitable! My family and I will definitely be dropping in whenever we are in the area

Working with Patrick & Serina to host our wedding reception of 60 people here was a dream. We were able to plan our menu over a few phone calls & emails, and finalize after a food tasting. They were so easy to work with! They also helped us plan our cocktail hour & were great with helping us stay within our budget. We opted not to have a DJ, and their speakers were a great alternative to have Spotify in the background. PS for future brides here — use all the candles, it makes the space super cozy & romantic. Absolutely recommend, thank you!
