This is the greatest restaurant not just in Long Beach, not just on Long Island, not just in New York State, this is the best restaurant I have ever had the absolute pleasure to dine. Every single dish that I've ever gotten there has been the best version of that dish I've ever had. The chefs are artists. Do yourself a favor and sit at the bar to watch these masters at work. They're talented and fast and friendly to all patrons. With a menu that is constantly changing and showcases the best and freshest seasonal ingredients, this place reminds me of the Grateful Dead... no two experiences (Grateful Dead concerts and meals at Lost & Found) are the same, but you have a wonderful and unique experience every single time. If you're fortunate enough to dine here, some of my personal favorite items I've eaten are listed as follows: - Dry-aged pork chop - Long island duck breast with butternut squash puree - The artichokes (it's insane how good they are in any form) - Garlic rubbed lamb chops - Steak tartare with grilled bread - Cod fritters (shockingly light for a fried ball) - Rustic potatoes (a dang plate of potatoes has no business being this good) They might not answer the phone when you call. They only have 2 beers on the menu (light or dark). They might not accept your credit card. If that annoys you, move on. But rest assured if you eat at Lost & Found, you're gonna leave happy and thinking to yourself "when can I come back here?!"
Excellent food and friendly professional service at this tiny West Long Beach neighborhood gem. The menu changes seasonally. Everything we ate was delicious.
My wife and I have come here a handful of times; always leave happy! The burger is easily the best I've had on Long Island, but every part of the meal is exceptional. Even the bread to start is fresh and perfectly toasted.
Gem of a place. Food is fantastic. Service friendly. Great vibe. Two blocks from beach. Will be back!
The best food in Long Beach, always! The biggest hidden gem in the sea of average Long Beach food. This is NYC quality food. The menu changes seasonally - always a handwritten menu but I'll talk about the latest experience there. I know it sounds silly but GET THE CEASAR SALAD. It's epic. The stuffed rigatoni was a play on a ravioli and the mushroom sauce was to die for. The service is always very personal and the place is small so it feels cozy and intimate. Food is always top notch. Give them a call for a reservation but if you're a party of two - you can usually get a walk in table no problem. They even do brunch on Sundays which I didn't realize until recently and I'm sure it's incredible!
Hidden gem in Long Beach! Cash only. They care about what they put out so the chef comes up to your and asks you how your meal is going. The waitress drea is our favorite. Very attentive and does her job excellently. Food is ALWAYS out of this world. The menu changes so don't go off this post but everything in the review was amazing. They have the best stake tartare around. The wine is always top tier. Very small but not in a bad way. Very homey and cute.
It's always a magical exploration of flavor every time I go. For some reason I do not get over here enough. Try enticing you worries never get anger anywhere else and you will understand how good food can be transformed. If you try anything you normally eat it will never be good enough anywhere else and elevated to a completely different level. Highest quality food and friendliest staff. Always a treat to return.
Had a fabulous meal here last Thursday. There menu constantly changes but it seems like they always have the Hummus, which is 10/10. lil gems salad is just a spring mix with vinaigrette... kind of sour but actually perfectly paired with the super salty Cod croquettes. Thankfully those two came out together but I wouldn't order either of those again. The Lamb tartare and Beets were incredible, and the Buffalo mozzarella was good but could skip. For mains, the truffle ravioli and braised short rib were the best. The pork porterhouse was not good at all and very undercooked for our liking.
