"Driving up PCH to Malibu, you’ll spot a lot of mothball-filled steakhouses that look exactly the same. Skip them all and go to Lucky’s. This fancy spot inside the Country Mart comes to us from SoCal’s other A-Lister commune, Montecito, and though you probably won’t spot Oprah and Meghan Markle here, the well-heeled crowd is still there to impress. You’ll see locals sipping martinis and intentionally placing their hands so everyone can see their jewelry and modern-day socialites making grand entrances. Lucky’s is more than just a people-watching sideshow though—the mostly meat-and-potatoes menu is good, too." - brant cox, sylvio martins
