Everyone loved the food, we laughed and had a great night out with family. We were seated on the outside patio, they had multiple heaters on and it didn't feel like we were outside, temperature was perfect. We will definitely be back!

Our waiter was very nice but not very attentive. I would still recommend this restaurant. Just know it is a little pricey.

Fantastic!!! We have been struggling to find great meals near where we are staying and found this place. I got chicken (delicious, crispy cooked to perfection and great sauce. My wife got salmon. We sat outside and really liked the ambiance. Pleasant and very friendly staff. It's also a beautiful restaurant inside. You can tell this is a truly well run restaurant and terrific kitchen.

The filet mignon must have been sent from the heavens because I've never tasted anything so divine. I almost order the mashed potatoes but then Hugo stopped me, he suggested we order the cheesy hash browns and ...OH EMM GEEEE...WOW. My mouth was watering, it was so delicious. Great recommendation, how do we promote him? Moreover, Julian was a genuine person and we enjoyed speaking with him. And Leo always has a pleasant and welcoming demeanor and wants people to enjoy themselves! I can't wait to come back here!!

Eat here! Great menu, cocktails and food. Very dog friendly on the outdoor patio. Service was exceptional. We walked from our hotel. Great location. The village is so quant and way better than the village on State Street in downtown. Eat at Lucy's!

Twice.Fabulous steak house. Old Hollywood glamour. Romantic. Great bar. Great service. For a couple, request a table by the fireplace.Expansive menu, and everything is good. You gotta ask for bread, and the first time, the butter was weirdly sweet. But the crusty bread was freshly baked.We've had beef and seafood. Universally good, but honestly the prime rib? Not prime. Sinewy. But the filet was outstanding.Oh! The escargot was the best I've ever had: Not too salty, but tender. Slop up every bite with bread!End with the soufflé, but order eat when your mains arrive.So many good choices. Great drinks. Expensive? Sure. Worth it? You bet.

I recently moved nearby so googled a date night restaurant, we're foodies and let me say YUM!!!! I would have dressed up a bit more if I knew but didn't really check. We didn't have reservations but they accommodated us which was great on a busy night. There's outside seating in front but we were inside near the entrance. Our server was knowledgeable and honest about portion sizes and recommendations. Be aware you order an entree and have to pay for sides. If you don't care about pricing definitely spoil yourself with some luxurious tasty food. I can't wait to go back.

The food is top-notch. The service is great and personable. The setting energetic and full of locals and tourists. The portions are large. Favorite dishes are steaks, burgers, ribs, wedge salad, oysters, and calamari. The wine list is well-rounded. Go for the Westerley or Mascot cabernets.

Five star service from our waiter Cesar and the Lucky's crew this evening. We were a rowdy bunch and we're definitely a little on the demanding side, but Cesar and his team executed every step perfectly. The food, the wine service, the coffee, the cocktails, everything was top-notch from start to finish! Cesar deserves a huge kudos for executing an amazing experience along with the bartenders, cooks, and everyone in between!

Someone has to say it.

Are you people nuts? Just because everyone says this place is good, do you all believe them? Let’s start with the good. The service is very attentive. But they hit us with a 20% non-negotiable service charge. Oh OK.

The steaks and such are so profoundly and crazily overpriced, you almost have to laugh out loud. You want French fries with that, $15. You want asparagus with that, $15. You want creamed spinach with that, $15. You want Caesar salad with that, $15. You want a bottle of wine under $100? Haahaahaahaaaaa.

Food is fine, but literally nothing to write home about even at a third the price. So many places in SB, you can get a steak as good or better, for SO much less.

Look at my hundreds of reviews from around the world. I have dined at many Michelin star restaurants and some of the top 10 … in the world! I am not bragging, but I do know a little of what I am talking about.

If your goal is to spend a lot of money, you need to go to Lucky’s. But there are dozens of fabulous restaurants around SB where you can have spectacular cuisine, superb service, and not feel like an idiot.

We got a table on the patio outside Lucky’s but it took quite a long time to get served and there were further delays later (and discrepancies in service, compared to our evidently more important neighbors). The guy who brought the food seemed angry about something the way he barked out the dish names, asking which dish was for whom (he should have known that anyway). Our main server was friendly though, which made up for his tardiness :-)

The veggie burger was good, although the blue cheese was a little too salty. I had high expectations for Herbie’s potato skins (as I love potato skins) but they were a bit disappointing. However, the Japanese sautéed tofu dish was very good and this helped elevate the experience to memorable.

Chef Leonard Schwartz describes the dish as follows: “Composed of fresh baby spinach sautéed lightly in extra virgin olive oil and topped with slices of firm marinated tofu and wok-cooked shitake mushrooms and green onions, surrounded in a Japanese vinaigrette flavored with sesame oil, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, and lime juice.”

We had a guest request a vegan dish about a year and a half ago, and that’s when I put together the tofu dish,” he said. Well, I’m glad you had one guest who cares about the planet! (And props to the chef too.)

I’m giving Lucky’s only 2 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, for these simple reasons:

• Lucky’s menu is meat-focused. It would be great if Lucky’s made a stand and adapted its menu a little to help out with our climate crisis, not to mention mitigating deforestation and putting an end animal cruelty and the insidious negative impact that the meat industry has on society. You did a great job with the tofu and spinach dish, so keep going!
• No information is provided on food sourcing. Where does it come from? Are the eggs pasture-raised? Is the tofu organic? Communication of these things actually matter, even for something vegan like tofu, which ranges from industrially-farmed GM soy that’s sprayed with bee-killing neonics to one of the most sustainable products on the planet.
