    Lucky’s Montecito location has always been one of our most favorite locations for special occasions. Not anymore. We celebrated our 35 year anniversary and were determined to not at all let anything stop us from having an amazing time yet have to admit Lucky’s is slipping. They do not answer or return omessages. Actually, their phone was not working for days leading up to special occasion And when the server approached the table he had to ask if it was a special occasion. Really??! The occasion was written into the reservation and I also spoke directly with someone the day of. One would think the service would equal the escalating prices - yet no. There is a lack of professionalism that I am very surprised to experience at any Lucky’s location - especially this one. Sadly, we will not return. If the goal is to only serve locals in the ritzy location, then job well done. There are a lot of patrons outside of Montecito that appreciate fine things too.

    Lucky’s is a fun place to eat, especially if you dine in the bar area. The food is great, and the service and valet are excellent!

    Great overall experience!! Food and service were both great. Our waiter, David, the sommelier, and the bus staff were all very helpful, kind and added to our overall positive experience. We always love our experiences at Lucky’s and we will be back!

    The location is ok, The food good, average. Wait staff was attentive.. for being as busy as they were., went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The drinks.. an Old fashioned.. was hoping for a properly prepared Old Fashioned.. which was not on par. I would expect the many years this place has been in operation, I could get a well prepared old fashioned.. at least with block ice. It was more like a roadside bar.. (and I've had some good Old Fashioned at some roadside bars.. this.. was not. The wife's cocktail was also sent back to get remade. Being from out of town, I expected more of Montecito dining. The food was just ok. We will explore other locations in the area to enjoy and pass on this place next time.
