The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have frequented the luxury restaurant in Montecito before, and it’s a favourite with celebrities including James Corden, Katharine McPhee and Carol Burnett
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry joined pals as they stepped out for a fancy dinner celebration at a popular Montecito restaurant.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex joined close friends Brian and Tracey Robbins as they visited Lucky’s, an upmarket steakhouse that has been a beloved favourite of the former working royals. The two couples have grown close, with Tracey receiving one of the limited edition jars of homemade jam from Meghan’s new brand American Riviera Orchard.

Steaks start at $86 (£68) with a porterhouse costing a whopping $175 (£138) and side orders starting at $16 (£12.50), meaning it’s certainly not a budget eatery and one that would have seen Meghan and Harry splashing out with their pals. The wine list is also pricey with bottles of champagne starting at $99 (£78) and rising to $140 (£110).
This isn’t the first time Harry and Meghan have visited Lucky’s, they’ve previously enjoyed date nights at the restaurant as well as helping Meghan’s pal Katharine McPhee and her husband David Foster celebrate their baby news in 2020 with a three hour dinner at the hotspot. It’s also had other celebrities seen enjoying its menu, including former Late Late Show host James Corden who visited with his family and comedian and actress Carol Burnett.

The restaurant currently has four stars on Tripadvisor, with some critics slamming the place as ‘a disappointment’ whereas others revealed it was the perfect venue for a special occasion. One person left a review: “Love the location, the food was outstanding best we had in LA. Steak was to die for and so were fries.” Whilst another shared: “We wanted to have a really fun casual time in Santa Barbara / Montecito and Lucky’s is somewhere we have always liked to go but it’s gone so downhill!!”
The visit to Lucky’s comes for Meghan and Harry after they successfully completed a three day trip to Nigeria, in what some have likened to a royal tour – despite the couple no longer being working royals. It also appears there will be similar trips for Harry and Meghan on the cards in the future, as in a message thanking the people of Nigeria following their return home, they described it as “the first of many trips”.
