    Here’s a refined review for **Lucky’s in Montecito**: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful late lunch at Lucky’s in Montecito to celebrate our daughter Olivia’s graduation from law school. It was the perfect spot for a special occasion, relaxed yet elevated. We enjoyed the flexibility of ordering from both the lunch and dinner menus, which made it easy to share and sample a variety of dishes. The filet, aji, and salmon were all perfectly prepared and delicious. A fun and unexpected treat were the deliciously crispy potato skins, so flavorful! The service was attentive, and the setting at warmth of the fire place added to the celebratory mood.

    Our service was good, very attentive and helpful! 7oz Grass Fed Filet was perfect. Artichoke was leather hard and couldn’t eat it, wedge salad was ok was not chilled. Overall for the price of this meal it was so so.. only 3 stars 😔

    Booked this place for Mother’s Day and it was better than I expected. Food was great, though my eggs Benedict could have been served warmer. Overall a very positive experience. I would highly recommend.

    We love the weekend brunch and it was so nice being at an outdoor table on a beautiful sunny Mother’s Day.

    We enjoyed our lunch at Lucky’s. Could not get in for dinner, too crowded but late lunch was wonderful. Mikey did a fantastic job of serving us. Lunch is the best kept secret.
