   The food was wonderful and the service was good. The waitress was very nice and helpful. However it was noisy. Hard to carry on a conversation. .

   Great Food. Service was lackluster. The price was steep but expected in the area.

   Easter dinner was our first at Lilac and it was fantastic. My wife is celiac and loved every dish. Food was incredible, no discernible difference with it being gluten-free. Amazing culinary experience, hats off to the chef and owners. We will definitely make this our regular spot in SB/Montecito. Wonderful staff and atmosphere. Highly recommend Lilac!

   I had the best quiche (vegetable) I have ever had! The custard was creamy and flavorful, with perfect buttery crust. It came with a fresh side salad, to complement the meal. I also enjoyed a Guava Mimosa, which made the the meal extra special. Service was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend Lilac Montecito!

   What a perfect date night! The service was just outstanding. Beautiful atmosphere, amazing food and if you don’t try one of the desserts, you are missing out! We can’t wait to return.

   Surprisingly delicious filet mignon. Calamari was slightly overdone. Service was excellent and the prices very reasonable given the location.

   Dinner was decent but everything fell apart at the end of the meal. As our table was being cleared by the busboy , he knocked over our bottle of wine and I would say at least a quarter of the bottle spilled out. Accidents happen but the response was terrible 1. Initially I was offered a half glass of wine by the busboy as compensation! Really insulting 2. Our server took his time to get to the table and did not apologize. I asked him if he heard what happened and he said yes. Then proceeded to offer a full glass of wine as compensation. Again terrible response 3. The most egregious thing though was that my section of the tablecloth was soaked. They never removed the table cloth and I had to sit back so I wouldn’t get my clothes wet. I would have considered a cup of coffee but there was no way I was sitting at a completely soaked table any longer. At that point I couldn’t wait to leave. Poor response all around and would not go back
