Great service, wonderful location. We had pizza and a salad, all nicely prepared and very tasty.

Spent 5 mins on phone trying to place an order for pickup. 3 people later nobody could figure out how to handle this. Why advertise curbside pickup if you can’t do it?

First visit here after moving to the neighborhood. Food was delicious and the atmosphere was great, felt like I was on vacation! Some of the patrons were staying there and there were some just for the food like I was. I will be back to try other appetizers and main course/lunch or dinner.

We had a wonderful dinner for my husband‘s 30th birthday here. The food was delicious and every single thing we ate was really great. I’ve been to quite a few restaurants now in Carmel, Monterey and Marina and I think by far this is the best meal that I have ever had in that general area. If it wasn’t for my sister in law ruining the dinner and causing a scene, it would have been the perfect night! ?

Lucia is located in the upscale and beautiful Bernardus Resort and Vinyard. Wonderful atmosphere with it's outdoor covered dining. Excellent, attentive service. One star off: the last time I was here, the strip steak was much better. I ordered it again at this visit. One of my guests ordered the tenderloin. I believe they have switched to grass fed beef for the steaks on their menu. They were definitely inferior to my last visit about two years ago. The steaks were not prime nor American Wagyu grade, so they were not as flavorful. I find most grass-fed beef is bland and there tends to be tougher muscle fibers running through the steak. Obviously, I'm not a fan of grass-fed beef. With the exception of the flavorless and lack of texture sauted artichoke heart appetizer, e veryone else's dishes, the seared Salmon the pork belly appetizer, the side dishes, and salads were excellent. You have to call Lucia to get a reservation. They do not use any of the online reservation services. In conclusion: Hit and miss menu items, wonderful atmosphere and service. I enjoy this restaurant as I live in the area, and I would like to return. Perhaps find that there have been improvements in the meat department. ;)

Vegetarian options: They have a good selection of vegitarian dishes even I saw one main course vegan selection on the dinner menu.

Dietary restrictions: They will accomodate from what I understand

Parking: Many and Tesla and non Tesla charging stations

Beautiful setting on the patio. Celebrated my daughter's birthday. We both a nice and relaxing lunch. I will definitely come again.

Aside from the comparatively high prices (which were expected)l and the blah mocktails, we have no disagreeable things to report about this fantastic restaurant. The service was impeccable, the ambiance was casual yet sophisticated, the menu variety was impressive, and the dishes were absolutely delicious.
