- NnoelleCalifornia Central Coast •17 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoA lovely lunch on the patio. We each had the crab cake dish and shared the special cake they have for dessert....with cream cheese ice cream. All the food was very good but I thought a bit pricey. The gentleman behind us, when leaving, said that how does one eat the shoestring potatoes that he said came with his dish. We saw them go by to other diners and I get his point as they are so thin they would be cold in a few minutes and how does one eat them, by the handful??? The service was impeccable. We had a wonderful waiter. No real complaints except a bit rich on the prices.More infoClark's Oyster Bar - MontecitoPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Montecito•4.4

- RRobertVIPLos Angeles •44 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoClassic old school neighborhood gem! Lucky's is a gem. The place is subtle elegance. The menu has everything you need. We went for brunch. This place just gets it. "Lucky" is on the plates, the cups, and even the napkins. The bathrooms have marble counters. The picture covered walls just give you a feel of home. The front patio has a huge fireplace. There is a small bar off to the side. Wood covered walls. This is the type of place I love and enjoy and will definitely be back for dinner. The prices are very relative to the value and location.More infoLucky'sPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Montecito•4.7

- RRobertVIPLos Angeles •16 reviews5.0Dined on 23 Feb 2025My wife and I very much enjoyed our dinner at Lilac. We tried the sparkling non-alcoholic reisling wine, and it was very good. We shared the cauliflower as an appetizer, and both enjoyed the branzino for our main course. We substituted broccolini for the potatoes, and it was excellent. We shared the warm cookie and gelato for dessert. It was good, but not as great as I expected. Overall, a nice evening out and a great meal. We will return.More infoLilac MontecitoPrice: Expensive• Contemporary European• Montecito•4.6
