    We have dined at task many times since it opened. It has been a go to for us for many years. Unfortunately, this time the food and service fell flat. We had the calamari appetizer and the breading was tasteless. Then two people were served their meals while the third person had to wait for their meal – 5 to 7 minutes later it arrived. The two orders of sliders we had were nowhere near as tasty as they used to be. And the crabcakes were not fully cooked in the center. That said, our waters were kept full, and the wait staff was cheerful. Them, not really as the fault of the restaurant per se, but somebody who was waiting for their takeout order stood nearby with her little dog for more than 15 minutes, and the dog consistently barked loudly. It would’ve been nice if the staff had provided her with a chair somewhere That didn’t affect all the rest of the diners were asked her to come back given the noisiness of her dog. Multiple tables kept stopping their conversations because of the yapping. Sadly, I don’t think we’ll be returning again soon.

    We arrived early around 5pm and all was quiet - within the hour, it was almost full and very lively so we experienced the best of both worlds enjoying a spot where we could catch up and then watched the crowd and noise level grow just as we were done. The staff was attentive and friendly.

    They did not honor our reservation for Valentine’s night, so we did not get our table. Admittedly we were 10 minutes late as the multistory parking was full on such a busy night, but we didn’t think we’d have to let one person out to grab the table while the other found parking since we had the reservation

    The Cask Wine Bar is a reliable choice for a consistently high-quality meal, excellent wine, and friendly service. If it is not already on your dining list, be sure to add this restaurant as it never disappoints! I met a friend there last night, and we became engrossed in our conversation, the meal and the warm atmosphere and ended up lingering for nearly three hours. It was a wonderful experience!

    Nice service, and they allowed us to linger for several hours with old friends whom we hadn’t seen for quite some time. Would return again.

    I love The Cask. It feels like my home away from home. Friendly service and delicious food. What more could you ask?! My favorite item is the Warm Napa Cabbage Salad with Salmon. The salmon is cooked to perfection, not dry and over cooked. The cabbage salad is a welcome on both a cold winter day and a balmy summer evening. Weekday offerings are a deal with a three course menu for $20. Beat deal in town!
