- WWendyCalifornia Central Coast •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoI've enjoyed their lunch and brunch offerings several times - the food is delicious, especially for those of us who need to avoid gluten and, frankly, most diners would never notice that their baked goods are all gluten free! Friendly service and clean, appealing dining room. Highly recommended.More infoLilac MontecitoPrice: Expensive• Contemporary European• Montecito•4.7
