My wife and I were in Santa Barbara and wanted to drop in the new Margerum tasting room just off State Street. While there, we walked by the Wine Cask and, since were getting a little hungry, thought we'd stick our heads in the door. Are we glad we did!

Wine list was as expected, extensive and varied in price. Kale salad as an appetizer was a very good choice. Pork belly was delicious. Server knew the menu and wine list very well. Great choice.

Five of us went to this lovely restaurant mid week. Great decor, friendly competent service, good food. A really extensive wine list, almost too extensive to choose from. Our waiter was perfect, sensing the right times to discretely check on the table. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, five different meals and all pretty good.

I took my UCSB senior son to the Wine Cask on Saturday night. The atmosphere was fun, yet elegant. Great food (his steak was perfect and my sea bass was excellent). The wine list was impressive, and the waiters were very helpful in pointing us to the perfect wine.

Excellent Food, Location and service. I will definitely go back. Great Ambiance. A little on the pricey side.

We dined at the Wine Cask last night and had a delicious meal. The ahi tuna and scallops were perfectly prepared. Try the doughnuts for dessert. Really good. The service was excellent and the wine steward very helpful.
