Lucky's Montecito

The 25 Best Restaurants In Santa Barbara - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Even if you’ve never been to Lucky’s, you’ll feel like you have. This old-school steakhouse in Montecito (there's another location in Malibu) has vested servers, white tablecloths, and framed photos of the greats, like Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. An upscale dinner here features the usual classics, done well: wedge salads with a generous amount of crumbled Roquefort, a jumbo-sized shrimp cocktail, and smooth-like-butter filet mignon coated in silky peppercorn sauce. Lucky’s is great for business dinners, birthdays, or getting drunk off one vodka martini (because the bartenders here are not messing around)." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
