SENSATIONAL DINNER in every respect. Charming, interesting and quiet ambiance. (You can actually carry on a quiet conversation with your date from across the table!). Our waiter was a “professional”! He knew the EXTENSIVE wine list and was right-on in his recommendation of a local wine of the style we like. And our two dinners were, simply put, World class: salmon and venison. And all this at a reasonable price. Simply could not recommend this place highly enough. Gene More

It was great. We had the bone marrow as a starter and it was the bomb. We had Shalom and Julia as our server and helper. Both did an excellent job. Manager was very “robot-y” and kind of creepy. Overly nice and didn’t seem human. Didn’t know the name but it was the dude in the suit. Overall, 5 stars. More

What a beautiful dining experience at Wine Cask! The venue is stunning and it's a great location in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, but a short distance away from the State Street crowds. Our meal was delicious and unique, and we couldn't have asked for better service. Highly recommend for a special occasion or for a romantic night out. More

Great food, location, interior decor, comfort, ambience and service. We shared a lot of the plates on the menu between us and everything was great including the specials. Between us we had a mixture of cocktails, beer and wine and all enjoyed our drinks. We had a late seating at 9.30pm and missed out on the Bao and Noodles but everything else we ate was delicious. We were still at our table close to midnight after everyone had left and staff had started to pack away - we didn't want to leave! More

The food was amazing. We both order a filet, the quality of the meat was outstanding and cooked exactly as we asked. The wife got the twice baked and me the baked potato. Both were so good!! We were shocked once we go the bill we order drinks and appetizer along with our main entree, not overpriced at all. The value we got for the experience, food and service would blow away most places we have been!! More

Cute sit-down place with pizza, salads, beer and wine. The main restaurant is three shops down on the same street. There are a few vegetarian option pizzas. Most pizzas run between 14-$16 for a single serving so it's a little on the pricey side but the ingredients are very good. More

Discover Santa Barbara
Only a two-hour jaunt from Los Angeles, Santa Barbara is a busy seaside town with a relaxed vibe and proximity to California's booming wine region. Sometimes called the American Riviera, Santa Barbara exudes alfresco charm while benefiting from local, fresh produce and sustainably harvested seafood. From the taco trail to cracked fresh crab at the pier to eclectic wine bars with delicate snacks, Santa Barbara is a culinary delight for a range of tastes. One thing you won't find much of is pretentious, black-tie dining; Santa Barbara prefers it low-profile. Fresh and local is the name of the game here. Copious nearby ranch land, wine country and independent distillers and breweries keep chefs inspired to design their menus with a distinctly local bent.
