ABOUT US
Honoring the classic American steakhouse tradition since 2000
LUCK FAVORS THE BOLD
Lucky's Steakhouse was founded in 2000 at 1279 Coast Village Road, Montecito, California. Originally constructed as the Montecito Bungalows back in 1926, the building had changed hands many times over the decades and eventually began to succumb to the strain of its years of service. Local legend spoke of the location as being 'out of luck.'
Gene Montesano believes that luck favors the bold so he, along with his friends Jimmy Argyropoulos and Herb Simon, took over the business and gave it the makeover it deserves. The location once again serves its community as LUCKY'S: Montecito's second living room.
The Lucky's Tradition Brought to the Beach
After 20 years of operation, Lucky's expanded to a second location in beautiful Malibu. Located in Malibu Country Mart, Lucky's Malibu serves the community all day and night, with daily lunch and dinner service.
INTRODUCING SOHO
Lucky's is opening its first East Coast location in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood. With 50 seats and a private dining room, Lucky's Soho is the group's most intimate experience yet.
