The Sussexes have previously dined at Lucky's, enjoying a meal with Meghan's longtime friend, Katharine McPhee and her husband, David Foster, when they first moved to Santa Barbara in 2020.
Nigeria trip
The Sussexes' outing comes just days after they returned home from their successful three-day visit to Nigeria, where the focus was on sport, mental health and celebrating women in leadership.
A thank you message on their website read: "The Duke and Duchess would like to extend their deepest gratitude to all the event organizers, military officials and the whole Nigerian community for their tremendous hospitality and the first of many memorable trips."
Harry and Meghan were not joined by their children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, who turns three on 4 June, on their Nigeria visit.

The final day of their trip coincided with Mother's Day in the US, with Meghan paying tribute to her children as they attended a reception at the State Governor House in Lagos.
The Duchess told guests: "I am very, very grateful, I am very humbled, and today is Mother's Day. So it feels appropriate, but though of course, we are missing our children, I'm missing my babies, but it feels very appropriate to be in the motherland and amongst family. So thank you so much for the kindness and for these beautiful names. I'm very grateful and we can't wait to come back."
Wedding anniversary
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not publicly acknowledge their sixth wedding anniversary but in their 2022 Netflix docuseries, they shared several behind-the-scenes images from their nuptials.
