If you're looking for a fine dining experience in Santa Barbara that feels both elegant and effortless, make a reservation for dinner at the Wine Cask. Located in the middle of downtown Santa Barbara (tucked away in a secluded courtyard), this restaurant specializes in dishes sourced from local harvests, great cocktails and - as the name suggests - wine! Chefs shop at the local farmers markets every week, and the menu rotates frequently. Desserts often steal the show here, with highlights including the butterscotch pudding and bread pudding souffle. Private and event dining areas are available, as well as an al fresco patio. Attached to the Wine Cask is Intermezzo, a more casual bar/cafe that serves wine on tap and tasty flatbreads.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

Santa Barbara Local Expert
- Farm to Table, Group Friendly: "Don't skip dessert. Order the butterscotch pudding. Trust us."
- Best for Farm to Table Because: The Wine Cask serves some of the most elegant dishes in town, but their ingredients have their roots in local soils.
- Best for Group Friendly Because: The Wine Cask has a private room that seats 35 and a patio that can hold 60. Or you can reserve the whole restaurant.
