   Amazing! The food, service, and ambience. My favorite restaurant (along with their Patisserie in downtown SB). Their menu has something for everyone, and the staff is very welcoming and attentive. It’s heaven if you’re gluten free, and a delicious experience if you’re not.

   Such a beautiful restaurant with a great menu. I went to Lilac as a celiac with my 4 friends for dinner. They all loved it! They could not stop raving about how great it is! Will for sure be returning ♥️

   I wish I liked the food better at Lilac. I like the concept. The space is bright and cheerful. Unfortunately the food is totally uninspired. Mine was truly boring, and not very hot. My sister was with me and she thought her food was a B- at best. I'm not going to go back.

   We are locals and so enjoy Lilac Montecito. We have enjoyed Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner and have never been disappointment. The food is very good. The service is excellent, and the ambiance is lovely.

   We so enjoyed our dinner at Lilac! We were warmly greeted and had very attentive wait staff. The dishes we chose Branzino and Pasta were both well prepared and delicious! My only comment is that our gems salad dressing could have had a bit more acid. Overall we were very pleased with our dinner experience!

   Great good, excellent service by Juan, love that it’s all gluten free and I don’t have to be limited in my choice.

    Wonderful food and service. Sat more in the back and we could easily talk and hear each other. Food was fabulous . Had key lime tart for dessert and it was delicious
