    Unfortunately, there was an elderly man that had a dementia episode. He threw a glass or two and there was broken glass all over. It was very disturbing. It was our anniversary dinner and it really scared us.

    Ever disappointed, always great. Starting and ending with great, friendly and knowledgeable service. And the food was wonderful as usual. First time for the pork chop. Booked perfectly and very juicy. The sugar snap peas are always a favorite.

    One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Excellent service also. We got the petite filet, dry aged New York and lobster tail, with baked potato and Brussels sprouts. Everything was excellent!

    Great location, parking's no problem, very popular. We dined mid week and it fills up. The menu has something for everyone as well as daily specials. Impressive wine list and attentive service. Very good experience. It is 'pricey' although we enjoyed our evening.

    Every time we are in Montecito we always make it a point to stop at Luckey‘s steakhouse. The food is great. The service is great and the people watching is the best.
