    My husband and I have been dining at Lucky’s Montecito and bringing friends and family for 20+ years. I cannot think of any time over the years that we have a “bad experience.” It’s always top notch h in every way whether it’s just a table for 2 or a birthday dinner for 10. We live in Santa Barbara and we love Lucky’s and Tre Lune.

    The fried chicken was impeccable. Super flavorful and juicy. The use of chicken thighs was smart. Served with grits and breadcrumbs and butter pickles. Great combo. The cornbread can’t be humanly described. But trust me it’s gooooood!
