While on a date trip to Montecito our friends and us stopped here for a midday snack and wine time. Much needed stress relief. The hostess welcomed us with a smile even though we didn't have reservations. We told her we want a bottle of wine and appetizers and she said ok, why not ? Love it ... (few other nearby places wouldn't seat us without reservation ) We ordered a bottle of delicious Santa Ynez red wine, fried calamari and jumbo shrimp cocktail. The wine was amazing so was the calamari. We didn't like the shrimp as much. But we enjoyed our time here very much. Friendly waitress and wonderful ambiance here. It's a really nice place to come for a nice steak meal which we are planning to do soon. Lovely place. Must try.

There's no place like Lucky's. If I had to describe Lucky!s with one word it would be, home. The food and staff are amazing. The management in particular always goes out of their way to make my friends Spencer and Heidi and their children feel special. Highly recommend visiting here. This is an iconic restaurant and should not be missed!

Dinner for four last night. Been here many times before and always good. No need to be great thought. The folks in Montecito like it as do the tourists so Luckys does very well. So much so the average steak costs $80! Well it is Montecito...there are "some share" steaks at $250. To be fair you can get the daily special for about $50. Meat loaf, chicken, etc in that range. Wine list is excellent with wine prices to match. Look hard and you can find a nice red for about $150. Food: always pretty consistent. We had a flilet, a salmon, meat loaf and a NY steak. The filet was truly excellent. Salmon good, meat loaf good but "heavy" and my NY 3/5 ($85!)--not tender and no I did not send back. Interesting that the steaks came on a plate solo. No garnish, no potatoes etc. you have to buy them as sides. French fries $15. Baked Potato $20 etc. it's not a complaint. I knew the drill before going but still, 4 people about $700 all in. Last. The cocktails are always the best! 5/5. Generous to a fault. I know the martinis had at least 5 oz pours. The other drinks similar. Heck I think the drinks steal the show. Bottom line: still a fun vibe place to go with friends and enjoy a 3 hour meal and catch up:

Sergio. Took good care of us. We ordered Escargot. Abalone. Oysters. My friend has been coming to this place for many years and couldn't wait to take me and I have to say that I was highly impressed. It is a great place full of history and you can tell the quality in their dishes. It has like mob vibes. I don't know if I said that politically correctly, but it gives me like Goodfellas vibes like that's a place where you've got your Italian mobsters and the wives coming in it just I don't know there's something magical about it and I love it and I'm not saying that they are affiliated with the mob whatsoever. I'm just saying that that's the vibe I get Like old-school gangsta vibe. I absolutely love it and can't wait to go back!

Lucky's is always on the itinerary when visiting Santa Barbara.The service is impeccable and the food always outstanding. We visited a week before Thanksgiving and sat outside with our two little fur kids. The shrimp cocktail never disappoints. The steaks always delicious.Easy parking on the street or valet .

So good! We had the crudo, filet mignon with the peppercorn sauce, broccolini, and the sundae for dessert. Cocktails and wine were incredible as well. The service was very good. The vibe was lively/fun, and not stuffy at all like most steakhouses. Lots of couples and groups.

Fantastic food we went during lunch. I think my only advice is the server should pay more attention to the water because I did run out of water and I was a little thirsty, but the food was great. The service is great. It is pricey. I got the steak with the fries, which was really good. The steak was prepared. Exactly how I wanted it. It could use a little bit more salt, but it was great steak everything my friends ordered was delicious, everything looked great beautiful setting beautiful vibe. I really enjoyed myself.

I've come for dinner and lunch and both times seen celebrities. It's a little strange and I feel like I enter a different world full of Texas steakhouse vibes and Beverly Hills. Yet, the service is great and the options are exhaustive. The food is ok for the price. Nothing really has stood out to me, but nothing was bad either. Next time, thinking appetizers for the table would be the way to go in lieu of entrees. This is a cool place to bring visitors to the area, but not necessarily a regular stop for local fare. Calamari is pretty yum!

We celebrated our first wedding anniversary at Lucky's in Montecito, and it was an awesome experience. Our server, Caroline, was absolutely amazing--attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our night perfect. We started with the oysters, French onion soup, and Caesar salad, and each dish was delicious. They even split everything onto separate plates and bowls for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. For the main course, we shared the filet with mushrooms and mashed potatoes--every bite was to die for! I would recommend to other diners that we ordered our steak medium rare and it came out more medium, still delicious but just for your information. To top it all off, they surprised us with a sundae that had "Happy Anniversary" written on it, making the evening even more memorable. And I have to mention the dirty martini--it was a 10/10, one of the best I've ever had. Lucky's made our anniversary celebration so special, and we can't wait to come back!

Wagyu Tomahawk Steak 34oz 10/10- a culinary masterpiece. Its marbling was impeccable, ensuring each bite was a tender, buttery melt-in-the-mouth experience. The steak was cooked to perfection, with a beautifully charred exterior and a juicy, medium-rare center that exuded rich, savory flavors. The balance of seasoning highlighted the beef's natural taste without overpowering it. A special this night at Lucky's which was lucky as my family loves tomahawks Crab Cocktail 9.53/10- Served chilled, the generous chunks of sweet, succulent crab meat were the star of the dish. Paired with a zesty cocktail sauce, each bite offered a perfect blend of tangy and savory flavors. Escargot 9.38/10- Each snail was perfectly tender, bathed in a rich, garlicky butter sauce that was indulgent. The subtle earthiness of the escargot paired beautifully with the robust flavors of the herbs and garlic. Served with bread to soak up the luxurious sauce, every bite was a delightful combination of textures and tastes. Truffle Potatoes 9.68/10- served as a perfect complement to the steak and was also a special for this night, this dish was incredible. Perfectly roasted, the potatoes had a crispy exterior and a fluffy, tender interior. The truffle oil infused each bite with a luxurious aroma, complementing the steak's rich flavors. A sprinkle of sea salt and fresh herbs added the perfect finishing touch, enhancing the potatoes' natural taste without overpowering them Bread pudding 8.37/10- The bread pudding was a comforting delight. Each bite revealed a moist, custardy interior with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. Studded with plump raisins and infused with a hint of cinnamon, the flavors were rich and nostalgic. A drizzle of warm vanilla sauce elevated the dessert, adding a creamy finish. Not a huge fan of bread pudding and unfortunately they ran out of their grand mariner souffle (absolute fav) but this was still divine Mr Lucky cocktail 9.33/10- made with tequila, st Germain, and fresh lime juice. My favorite cocktail here- it is so refreshing. The tequila provided a smooth base while the St Germain added a delicate floral sweetness. Instagram: @hungrytamale
