- GGeofreyVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •42 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoExceeded our expectations! We thought the meal would be good, but not great. And it was the latter and not the former! Wonderful crispy fried chicken, perfectly cooked King Salmon, and red snapper with crunchy skin made for three excellent entrees. We also are particularly fond of the black garlic caesar salad and the ahi poke was perfection itself!More infoFinch & ForkPrice: Expensive• American• Santa Barbara•4.6
