7 Best Steakhouses near Montecito

“Had a fantastic dinner at Lucky's recently! We ordered the by strip with Roquefort cheese (highly recommend) as well the shrimp cocktail & crab cocktail which were also very good! Service was a standout with our very friendly waiter Eric, and Diego was amazing! We had a small baby and Diego checked in very frequently to make sure we were good and went above and beyond to give us great recs, and even bring us items to elevate our experience!

Overall the vibe of this steakhouse, service, and food made for a very fun night as we were celebrating a milestone in our lives. We thought the molten cake and coconut cake were just ok, but the martini was also excellent“

“great food excellent staff and my most favorite memories are sharing a birthday with the owner who I miss so much ❤️“

“I’ll be honest. I could have eaten anything in Santa Barbara. I hadn’t eaten anything since 9am and it was 5pm when I arrived in Santa Barbara. I walked one mile away because of the great things I heard about Jill’s Place. And you know what? I was not disappointed! I was stoked and impressed greatly 🥰😁 I had two wonderful, dazzling, and sweet waitresses (lucky me!). I was served a yummy chicken breast sandwich and it was the best one I had ever! No seriously! It wasn’t too salty and the bread was golden brown and ready to be munched on. The tator tots had the perfect texture. It’s almost as I had food from some amazing restaurant, which, hello, I did 😅 The place was packed, since it was Fiesta, but I imagine it always is. It sucks I live 45 minutes from this great establishment. The atmosphere was fun and a little country, but I love that. It’s casual, and not some elegant place like Lucky’s is. I’d still show up in a suit, if I could and would. Definitely check this place out and ask for the two blonde sisters who work there. They’ll dazzle you with their charm and diction 😉 Hope to be back again one day!“

“Service was so slow. Apparently some issue with the grill, but nobody bothered to say anything until our meal was almost done. Then we asked to order dessert and were told the restaurant was closing. This was 8:15pm on a Friday night. Gotta do better. Communication to customers when things are going poorly in the kitchen can go a long way.“

“Great bartenders who make amazing drinks. The best pork chop in town!“

“Best place for Steak! I really love their dishes here at Holdren's Steaks & Seafood. Staff was amazing! Highly recommended!“

“We love Chuck’s of Hawaii. Service is perfect, everyone is so pleasant. Last night, on my 88th birthday, our son Chuck and son fChris, not here, took us there for dinner. We all raved about the ribeye steaks, cooked perfectly with a superb flavor, delicious hot baked potato and a surprise cheesecake for my birthday. That was very nice. Thank you so much. Janice Haines“
