My husband and I cam here for our Anniversary Dinner tonight. Usually we go to the Montecito location, but we wanted to try this newer location out. It did not disappoint. The service was amazing, the staff was so kind and friendly. Our waiter Dan, made wonderful recommendations. The seared scallops were one of the best things I have eaten all year! They came with this delightful apricot chutney sauce. We almost ordered a second round. The drinks and our main course were very well executed. The ambiance was perfect. The chef Jonathan stopped by our table. Turns out he used to be a chef for the dodgers. I can definitely see why the food was so well prepared. Thank you for making our evening so memorable. Our dinner was fantastic and we will be back! read more

Lucky's is a steakhouse in a lovely area in Malibu. We stopped in for lunch while shopping. The staff was friendly and welcoming, so we stayed a little longer than we had planned to. This establishment offered you indoor and outdoor options to dine. We choose indoors because we wanted to view the interior ambiance. The interior displayed a classic look of a steakhouse with an impressive wine display. read more

안내해주는 사람들 둘이서 수다만 떨고 있고 테이블 사이는 좁아서 몸을 비집고 들어가고 나오고 해야했다. 보는 내내 불편. 고급레스토랑이기엔 테이블이 빡빡하고 서버가 자주 왔다갔다하기 어려운 구조이고. 그냥 고급스러운 작은 동네 식당 수준. Lucky's Malibu is definitely a high-end American restaurant, and it lives up to its reputation in terms of elegant interior and overall classy atmosphere. The food itself was excellent, and the service was friendly when we did get to interact with our server. However, there were some things that took away from the experience. We had to wait quite a while before being seated, and after all that waiting, we were placed in a very awkward spot--almost like a side alley where servers were constantly passing by but not really able to stop at our table easily. Because of that, we often couldn't get proper attention (couldn't get water refill because nobody is coming) from our server, and it was hard to even make eye contact when we needed something. Even though our server was polite when present, the overall service felt lacking given the level of the restaurant. On top of that, the expectation for tipping felt a bit excessive, which left us with mixed feelings. That being said, the food was still very satisfying, and I can see why this place is popular. But for the price point and reputation, I had hoped for a smoother dining experience. read more

Terrific service, nice vibey bustling bistro. The food is quite good. Environment and service make up for occasional short comings in menu items. They were recently so accommodating when my party kept changing and brought a lovely complimentary board of desserts. Thank you for making our celebration special. read more

Ribeye 8.56/10- got it with peppercorn sauce, it was good but it wasn't amazing. The ribeye wasn't as tender as it normally is but it was buttery. I can't really describe it but something was just missing compared to other ribeyes I've had here before. The peppercorn sauce was tasty, but it didn't have that wow factor I was expecting. Crab Cocktail 7.25/10- I liked that they gave pretty big lumps of crab but they put so much lettuce in it which they didn't do before, so they've definitely made the portion smaller. I wish that the cocktail sauce was on the side instead of mixed in because I prefer to control how much I use. The crab itself was fresh but the presentation wasn't as good as usual. Calamari 10/10- this was absolutely perfect! The calamari was so tender and not chewy at all, which is exactly what you want. The breading was crispy and light, and the marinara sauce was delicious. This is consistently one of my favorite appetizers here and they nailed it again. Fries 7.86/10- these were good but honestly I feel like their other sides are better. They were crispy and seasoned well, but nothing special. If you're going to get a side here, I'd definitely recommend trying something else. Hash Brown Potatoes with Gruyere Cheese 9.26/10- these were incredible! The potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, and the Gruyere cheese was melted perfectly throughout. Such a rich and delicious side that paired amazingly with everything else. French Onion Soup 9.85/10- this was so good! The broth was rich and flavorful with perfectly caramelized onions. The cheese on top was bubbly and golden, and the bread was perfectly toasted. This is comfort food at its finest. Mr Lucky Cocktail 10/10- made with Casamigos Blanco Tequila, a splash of St. Germain Liqueur, fresh squeezed lime juice, and a dash of sea salt, served up. This cocktail was absolutely incredible! The tequila was smooth, the St. Germain added perfect floral sweetness, and the lime and salt balanced everything beautifully. This is my go-to drink here for a reason. Espresso Martini 10/10- this was perfection! The coffee flavor was rich and bold, and it was perfectly balanced with the vodka. Not too sweet but had that perfect coffee kick. It was served at the perfect temperature and had great presentation. Chocolate Cake 9.66/10- this was so decadent and rich! The cake was moist and the chocolate flavor was intense in the best way. Apple Crumble 8.54/10- this was really good! The apples were tender and perfectly spiced, and the crumble topping was crispy and buttery. It was warm and comforting, though not quite as amazing as some of the other desserts. Cheesecake 8.82/10- this was delicious! The cheesecake was creamy and rich with that perfect tangy flavor. The crust was crispy and the texture was spot on. A classic dessert done really well. Overall this place continues to be one of my favorites, even though some dishes weren't quite up to their usual standards tonight. The cocktails and certain dishes like the calamari and hash browns were absolutely incredible as always! I do prefer the Montecito location though as I think the food is better and more consistent. It reminds me more of a New York steakhouse, and they have certain items only at that location like their soufflé which is amazing. Instagram: @hungrytamale read more

Such a lovely evening! Loved the dining experience at Lucky's! Our waitress was excellent. Great service all around. I can't say enough about the service when it is very hard to find these days. 5 star service!! Another huge plus was that it was not loud at all. The ambience is bright and welcoming versus a dark steakhouse. We had a burger, ribs and salad. The portions are really large. Everything was delicious. I'll be back. read more

I just happened to be in the area when I stumbled upon this restaurant. It was around 6pm on a Friday evening and this place was quite popular. I sat at the bar and Anthony took very good care of me. I had a drink and an appetizer, which was the fried calamari, which is a bit on the bready side, but still crispy and tasty. Anthony suggested the featured dessert which was a slice of cherry pie. This tasted like summer. It was a la mode, of course. This was a nice place to sit and have a drink. I'd love to come back for some steak. read more

What an incredible restaurant with impeccable service!! I don't usually write reviews but I had to because my family and I had the best experience there, not once, but twice in one weekend! We loved it so much that we had to go back two days later for another meal. Billy, the manager took so much care and expertise with helping us pick wines and dishes. He was outstanding. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough! Thank you for such wonderful service and food. We will be back as soon! read more

We had dinner at Lucky's tonight. There were six of us and we enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and great service. To start we had wine and cocktails, onion rings and the grilled artichoke with drawn butter. Both appetizers were devoured! We also loved the pretzel bread and had to have a second basket. We enjoyed the Onion Soup Gratinee which some of us found a little bit too sweet. Of course we had the Lucky's Salad with shrimp, avocado green beans, and bacon. I love this salad and so did everyone else. We also tried the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach and really liked it. It's definitely a hearty meal! One of us had the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich and it was very tasty. The special was braised short ribs that were melt -in- your- mouth tender. The burger did not disappoint either. For dessert we had the molten chocolate cake, tiramisu, and the creme brulee. Needless to say, we were full and happy upon our departure. We will definitely be back for the amazing chili too! read more

As a local, especially after the Palisades fires, I want to be a supportive to our struggling businesses as possible. That's why writing a one-star review for local business is not something I take lightly. A friend and I got together for drinks and an early dinner at 3:00 p.m. We were bridging the lunch to dinner service, and had three or four different servers tending to us. That was fine they were on top of it until they weren't. We we're told numerous times we would get a dinner menu, which never came. What did come was what I assumed was the new shift manager, asking us to move to the bar to give up the table for someone to have dinner. We explained that we have been trying to order dinner, in addition to the drinks and small bite we had already ordered, and could we please see a dinner menu, but we were asked to then move to the bar. I'm sorry, if they were booked for reservations, somebody should have told us that when we asked for the dinner menus. When we explain to the manager that we were attempting to order dinner, we should have been accommodated. The restaurant was empty when we arrived, and there were several empty tables when we left. My food experiences have been hit and miss at Lucky's, I can think of far better places to grab a steak. Once insulted, you're not going to get this local business unless I I'm attending somebody else's event. Sorry lucky's, you should make your locals a priority, we are your lifeblood. read more

Good service, food, ambiance is cozy on the outside patio (fresh). The steak I ordered wasn't as flavorful or tender as I expected (hard to digest). We ordered baked potato with all the fixings and this was good. read more

Very average idk. Honestly I know everyone loves it and it has the best reputation and I've actually been to the one in Montecito, but I've just never been that impressed by this restaurant. My husband said the steak was like good not better than Astros. I like the vegan options. I don't love them and the bread is like fine but honestly it's always like a little stale.. Fries are amazing and some of the sides are amazing as well but honestly, I just don't think it's that great. I don't know I feel bad saying it! The food is just not that fresh read more

We went to Dinner on Sunday this is the place to go. The menu is on par, tonight we started with potato skins and the Lucky salad for the table. For our entree we had Sand Dabs and the Baby back Ribs. So delicious . Our Server Gisselle service was on par. We were also surprise that we saw that a Manager Brain works here now his customer service is great. read more

I truly don't understand how someone can have a bad experience here. Everyone is super friendly and so nice! Customer service is amazing. We came here without reservations on a Saturday night, and the manger Bill was able to get us in and was so nice about it. The food is amazing but the customer service was truly one of a kind. We will definitely be back. read more

Visited this joint yesterday. It's very unassuming. The staff were great and so was the service. ordered the strip steak w spinach. Was stupid delicious. The bartender, Anthony was really cool.

Celebrated a friend's birthday here and the service and ambiance were fantastic! We had a group of 9 and all the food came out together and on time! We ordered multiple different steaks at different temperatures and everything was cooked perfectly! The reason Lucky's doesn't get 5 stars and my only real complaint is that although the food was cooked perfectly, the steaks and side dishes were fairly bland. They definitely could've used more seasoning to bring out the flavors. Also, the steaks weren't served as warm as I would've liked. Bringing out 9 orders at the same time is challenging so I'm not totally upset about this as it's understandable. Overall, If they up the seasoning on their food, this place is worth going to! read more

It's unfortunate that this restaurant is in a corner of a shopping center, super surprised of it all. Came across this spot through Yelp looking for a Birthday Dinner to enjoy and this was GREAT. The ambiance is perfect for a Dinner date. The service is on point and loved all the recommendations. The food came out delicious on top of a good glass of wine. Definitely a spot to check out and cannot wait to come back to get that soufflé on the menu. read more

The food was amazing! I got the blackened salmon and it was fresh and came with a side of lemon wrapped so that your hands don't get messy. We also ordered a side of mashed potatoes which were buttery and well seasoned. They have both indoor and outdoor seating but even the outdoor seating feels classy because it's inside a patio with white tablecloths and an ocean breeze. The service was incredibly polite and it felt like most of the other clients were regulars as the staff seemed to know most people's names and orders. It had a real Cheer's vibe. They also have a decent sized lot for parking and there's a ton of cute boutique shops around so I'd recommend saving some time before or after the meal to walk around and check it out. read more

Service was excellent. Food was fine. Prices way too high. No view. I probably won't go back.

It was our first trip to Malibu and celebrating my wife's birthday. The food was amazing, in particularly the Porterhouse, which we shared. Also, amazing shrimp cocktail (truly jumbo) and amazing service in a great location. They even added a special touch at the end to celebrate my wife! We'll be back. The porch that is covered is a great spot. read more

I actually cannot believe I am writing this, but Malibu finally has a class restaurant. Lucky's, in the original Nobu Malibu outpost space (then it was Mr Chow, I never went) is an outstanding, professional restaurant experience. The space is classic Hollywood steakhouse muscle, white tablecloths, wood, black and white photos and stylings, proper cutlery, nice glasses, generous pours, you are not distracted by portion sizes, everything feels right. It's a steak joint but they cool down the pace at lunchtime, lots of options, something for everyone. Have a martini and a chicken parm, or a french onion soup and a tuna , have a steak, have their chicken sandwich. It's not cheap, it's probably too expensive, but it's a nice meal in a terrific room, with great service. Nice, competent, non-obnoxious service , no one calling you "boss" no one not knowing the menu, nice relaxed good servers. Place is clean, the plates glasses and silver have been checked and polished. Ambiance-A+ Service-A+ Food -B+ (I didn't love the matzoh ball soup, it needs more love) Bathrooms spotless. Lighting nice, great music, solid ambiance. read more

I can't even provide a comment on food because we were never seated in the first place- despite having a 7:30pm reservation for my sister's 30th birthday. The reservation was made a week in advance and the expectation, as is with any reservation is that our table will be ready by the time we arrive. Upon arrival, we were told to wait for a table as there were people still dining. This continued for the next 30 minutes as we stood there awkwardly waiting for a table to open up that should've been already reserved for us. After the first 15 minutes of waiting, I inquired to the hostess as to why we would even have a reservation if we're going be asked to wait this long. She essentially said it's out of their control and they can't control how long it takes for people to finish their meal. Considering we expected to be seated at our reservation time, I requested there be some accommodations made to remedy this inconvenience. She said she would bring over the manager to discuss further. The manager never arrived and we continue to wait. Another 15 minutes pass. Still not seated. While the hostess apologized for the wait, there was no attempt made to keep our spirits up or accommodate to the fact that they did not honor our reservation. What is the point of even having reservation if you are to stand and wait for other people to finish their meals for you to be seated? At the end of this 30 minute wait. No manager arrived and they told us they were just preparing a table for us. Said table was a small table set for 4 and in a tight area - mind you we were a group of six adults. Adding two chairs to this tiny space was the cherry on top. At this point our spirits are crushed along with our appetites. By far, this has been the most unpleasant and uncomfortable experience I have had at a restaurant. Oh and the manager? Never arrived. We asked for him to express our dissatisfaction and grave disappointment. When he finally did show up, he simply reiterated that this is the situation they can't do anything about it. In essence, the message delivered was something along the lines of - if you wish to dine here, this is the situation and not much can be done. I am honest to God, baffled at this level of incompetency, disregard and lack of basic customer service. read more

Came here for my little sisters birthday. We had a reservation at 7:30. They didn't seat us at all. We waited until 8:00 and we had horrible service from the rude and inconsiderate manager as well as a useless staff. They seemed busy and the tables are small and tight. The least they could have done is apologies for the inconvenience. STUPIDEST manager I've seen in my life. I wouldn't come to this place ever again because they don't honor reservations and they have a jerk as a manager (Name is Don). Dumb Don does not have good management skills. As we walked out they offered our group of 6 a table for 4. What a crap establishment. Been living in Malibu for 31 years and I've never experienced service at a restaurant this bad. A good manager would have shown some sympathy to a guests whose day/dinner they ruined. The manager Don has ZERO CLASS. read more

Hesitant to write a review for the one thing I order which is super basic. The wedge salad, but without bacon, so what's the point? Don't know but it fixes a craving. It's pretty good and they do offer to chop it, but which I think I'll do next time. A big space with semi-outdoor seating. I've also sat at the bar and the bartender is super on-it. Martini's are solid, but steakhouse prices. read more

I think I may have found my new favorite spot in Malibu. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars yet, is simply because I haven't had a chance to explore the menu further, and I can't, in good Yelp conscience, rate 5-stars after only one visit. My family loves visiting the whole Malibu Country Mart scene probably three times a month, and while we've walked by Lucky's several times while shopping, we never had the opportunity to dine here. We finally took the leap a few days ago. It was instant regret. Regret that we hadn't come sooner! First, the service is IMPECCABLE!. We're talking Beverly Hills, Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton, Peninsula level service. The courtesy was beyond anything expectation, as if it was in their DNA. I'm from a hospitality family, so I know the nuance between true hospitality and fake smiles. We only managed to try two dishes, the Spicy Fried Chicken sandwich, and the shredded Chinese chicken salad. They were both excellent, and I was actually so surprised at the ample chicken in the salad, I had to take it to go! I saw what other tables were ordering, and as a skeptical Boston family that knows a few things about seafood, I'm definitely looking forward to our next visit! read more

I came here with my husband, father in law and brother in law a few weeks ago for my husbands birthday. Parking was pretty crowded in the lot right there but it was at the same time as the Malibu Chili Cook Off so that's probably why. We arrived 15 mins before our reservation but the host told us to check back in closer to our reservation. When we did check in at the time of our reservation we still had to wait another 10 minutes or so. We finally were seated and our waiter came out almost immediately and took our orders. It was hard to hear him because the table next to us was SO LOUD. The girl was practically yelling when she spoke. After they left we were able to hear ourselves talk. We ordered a few different sides and my husband and I split a steak. The food was great. Overall a great dinner. Not fancy (some people were in jeans and sandals), but still a nice dinner. We'll be back again. read more

Food was on point. I love steakhouses and maestros has always been a consistent one I enjoy. When I heard luckys was better, I had to try it. First, I will say the ambience is perfect. You can be as casual or chic as you want since Malibu has a casual chic vibe anyway. We got the wedge salad with thousand island and it was surprisingly tasty for a thousand island salad. Then we got the Mac and cheese which was honestly SO good. It wasn't overly heavy, but just the right amount of savory to enjoy with it before entree. I ordered the 10 oz filet with garlic mushrooms and the reviews are true- the steak really was cooked perfectly- exactly as I ordered it. The peppercorn sauce is the most popular and after having ordered that, I wouldn't order differently next time. We also got the Gruyère hash browns which were on the heavy side, but SO GOOD. I paired all of this with Malibu Syrah and it was a great choice. My dinner partner got the Philly cheesesteak and loved it with 818 beer. Even the breadbasket was super good. Servers were extremely nice and accommodating. Some items came out late and there was a kitchen mix up but they comped the late items and gave us dessert, not to mention very attentive and apologetic so we forgave them :). Dessert was berry cheesecake and molten chocolate cake- perfect way to top it off. Will definitely be back! Be cautioned- paparazzi tend to hang out here since lots of celebrity locals frequent this spot. But they won't interrupt your meal once you're inside. read more

Love having dinner there, but this was the first time for brunch. Surprisingly uncrowded. My son and I were seated in the enclosed patio area at 10am when they opened. Paige, our server, was wonderful. Took great care of us. Offered a pastry plate to start - 5-6 unique miniature items - a little scone, blueberry muffin, brownie, a couple others. Nice departure from normal breakfast breads. We both had the Eggs Benedict. Delicious! Oversized English Muffin slices held the Canadian bacon and perfectly poached eggs with just the right amount of Hollandaise. Chose the hash browns for the side. Nice square chucks of potato that were crispy on the outside and tender inside. Perfect to crush into the final bits of yolk on the plate. Ended having a warmed apple crisp - Paige told us it would take 10-15 minutes to prepare. Wasn't a problem and we never felt rushed. So delicious! Definitely doing this again! read more

Mid experience. We were a party of 5 very clearly shoved into a table for 4 which left 3 people crammed on a booth. The whole restaurant was crowded and loud, and the people at my table had to shout to hear each other. Ordered a signature cocktail and it was served in a pint glass. Found that odd, and it seemed like something you would do at a college bar not a steak house. The food was ok. The calamari and creamed corn were both good, the burrata had low quality cheese and the balsamic and oil choices were nothing spectacular. The steak and salmon were fine, but I was disappointed with the variety of side choices available and was hoping mushrooms would have been an option. read more
