I was told that they serve food at the tables, and a few players recommended their breakfasts. The prices were very reasonable and the food came really fast. I ate in a nice cafe near the poker room and the food was basic, but very tasty. However, no liquor is served in the casino so the answer is 'YES' it's very difficult to get a drink - actually impossible. Food: If you call a drink water, soda or water. Dealers: Everyone was very professional and knowledgeable. They did have pages that they gave out while you waiting, however, they ran out when I asked for one. They didn't have an electronic waiting list, but everything was orderly. Pretty cool! Atmosphere: The tables and chairs were all new and nice.
It was unexpected to find Vegas type action in the heart of Santa Barbara wine country. The casino and hotel are really nice too.
It's not huge or overly fancy, but it has good NL action, friendly dealers and management and everything about the room was very professional. Betting on sports futures, props and lay bets.
