    We had a party of 6 - EVERYONE was very happy and satisfied with the food. Service is top notch. Attentive but not annoying. Truly is my favorite breakfast place in SB/Montecito. Complimentary Mimosa, Orange Juice or Prosecco - How can you beat this!! Fresh warm bread, homemade jam...delicious.

    Beautiful night dining at Lucky’s. Seated by the outdoor fireplace took the chill off. Our cocktails were perfect. Caesar salads were excellent and the steaks were cooked to perfection. Best whipped potatoes!!! Fun night in Montecito.

    We came to Lucky’s to celebrate a friend’s birthday, so we were hoping for a special experience—but overall, it fell a bit short. The hostess gave off a judgmental vibe, which unfortunately set a less-than-welcoming tone right from the start. Thankfully, our server Rudy was excellent—warm, attentive, and really made an effort to take care of us, which we appreciated. The food was solid, but given the steep prices, it didn’t quite match up in terms of value—especially when compared to places like Joe’s in Las Vegas, where you get more bang for your buck. Also worth noting: parking is a nightmare. There’s virtually none, and that added unnecessary hassle to what should’ve been a fun, celebratory evening. All in all, the night was still enjoyable thanks to good company and Rudy’s service, but I wouldn’t rush back.

    Today I took my daughter to lunch for her birthday. The staff was great, attentive, and polite. The food as usual was great and it made our time together on her special day wonderful.

    We have had dinner here several times. This was not the best. The steaks have always been good but tried the stroganoff. It was just okay. I would call it more of a reconstructive version. It was more of a filet beef and mushrooms in a brown sauce with a pile of noodles with sour cream in the middle. Not the traditional stroganoff I am used too. Just didn't have alot of flavor, tender but not rich and flavorful. My wife had the New York with the half and half fries and onion rings. Steak was great but fries and rings were just warm. Overall disappointing for a restaurant we normally enjoy.
