Amazing food with a great cozy vibe. Menu changes frequently. Highly recommend. Pork chops are perfect

Came here with some friends and had a great time with great food. They handwrite the menu so it changed each week, but everything was delicious and service was great read more

This spot is both fantastic and an unexpected find in the beach town that is Long Beach, LI. I've attended a private party here and everything I had was fantastic but just recently had my first casual dinner there. I went with a party of 6 to celebrate a bachelorette which enabled us to try multiple appetizers! AMBIANCE - 5/5 When you walk in it's easy to notice the rustic yet cozy atmosphere. So much so that you wouldn't expect the high end menu options you're about to encounter. Each menu appears to be hand written and although there are some more regular items, the chef often changes things up to introduce new items. FOOD - 5/5 I easily would have ordered more than half of the appetizers if I could have but we settled for 3. My favorite, and I think many of the others' favorite was the artichoke. It was absolutely delicious and paired nicely with olive oil and what tasted like a garlic aioli. I also really enjoyed the beet salad. The added Greek yogurt was light and the pistachios added a lovely texture to the salad. The artichoke was good but not nearly as flavorful as the other two dishes. For my entree I was between the Iberico double cut pork chop or the bison strip steak with chimichurri. I ultimately went with the later and was super happy with my choice. I was surprised to find that the strip steak came out pre slice but it was still perfectly medium rare. I've had bison burgers before but never a bison steak and it did taste similar to the taste of a bison burger but in steak form which was really nice. It was cooked perfectly and the chimichurri sauce went really well with it. My friend let me try a piece of her Iberico which the waiter described as the wagyu of pork. The pork chop was also delicious and came with a peppercorn sauce that looks kind of like a light gravy but was much lighter than it looked and complemented the pork very well. The pork was also cooked perfectly which is a feat in itself since it's so hard not to overcook pork chops. Dessert was a deliciously light cheesecake with a wine based sauce and a chocolate mousse type dessert. SERVICE 5/5 In our group we had one person with celiacs and thus could not have gluten. Our server was able to tell her what was gluten free or could be made gluten free. At the end of dinner the server thought one of the two desserts had gluten in it but then someone who I believe to be a chef came out and confirmed that both desserts are gluten free! Since it was a bridal shower they were very sweet and offered us little round of celebratory alcohol, though I don't recall what kind. Three of us weren't drinking so they brought out glasses with sparkling water so we could join in on a toast. 100/10 would recommend! Thanks for having us! read more

Can't seem to find a booking even with a booking. I'd have gotten just a drink if it offered me one but the behemoth woman didn't even offer me any options read more

Love this place great food and ambiance, and service is outstanding. I love the steak tartare and the burger is even better.

a hidden gem in long beach that deserves a michelin bib gourmand i've been coming to lost and found in long beach ever since i moved to long island a few years ago, and i've probably been back more than half a dozen times. each visit has been consistently excellent -- the food is scrumptious, possibly the best i've had on the island. the menu is always changing, but the creativity never wavers. flavor combinations here are bold, surprising, and incredibly well executed. on my most recent visit, we had an open-faced ricotta and ham toast, a sweet-savory beet salad, and a beautifully cooked iberico pork chop. every dish had depth, balance, and that "wow" factor that keeps me coming back. what really sets lost and found apart is the energy -- the staff are kind, consistent, and clearly love working together. it feels like you're stepping into a space where everyone's genuinely enjoying themselves, and that vibe carries over into the entire dining experience. this is not a place for the faint of palate or someone expecting cookie-cutter comfort food. if you're into adventurous flavor pairings and a cozy (read: tight) dining space, you're in for a treat. pro tip: if steak tartare is on the menu, get it. it's hands-down the best we've ever had -- silky, flavorful, perfectly balanced. you won't regret it. read more

Went here on the Fourth of July. Sat outside. Menu is hand written and changes often. The food was fresh and delicious. Would like to see some more vegetarian entree options but would love to go back read more

Lost And Found - Burger, watermelon feta salad, beet and peach salad - New American Near Me - Long Beach, New York

This cozy spot seems to operate primarily through Instagram, as I couldn't find a website despite my best google efforts. My fiancé and I decided to try it for Valentine's Day weekend, though we quickly learned that reservations are strongly recommended. Without one, we found ourselves perched at the bar, which turned out to be a decent compromise. The food shows promise, but the value proposition is questionable. Their bistro burger, while flavorful, was kinda basic: a meat patty with cheese and sauce that somehow commanded a $20+ price tag. Our appetizers of marinated olives and ricotta were tasty, though again, the prices felt steep for what we received. Our waitress was friendly, but service moved slowly throughout the night.The rotating menu concept is intriguing and might warrant another visit, but I'd suggest this place mainly for locals rather than those making a special trip. While the quality is there, the overall experience and pricing leave something to be desired. If you do decide to visit, definitely call ahead for a reservation to avoid the seating shuffle we experienced. The food earns 3.5 stars: good, but not quite living up to its price point. read more

Taco Tuesday is awesome. I love the burgers but they don't serve them on Tuesday. The lamb taco are great!

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?!" read more

I came here on Saturday to celebrate my birthday with my husband. We had a reservation and we were seated in a cute corner. The hostess lit candles and added them to each table, adding very nice ambiance. The restaurant itself has a very eclectic, cute style. The menu was one I never experienced before - completely handwritten, and apparently they change it often. I ordered the bone-in pork chop which was the special of the night and my husband ordered the rabbit over the butternut squash puree. We also ordered house potatoes for the table since the pork chop didn't come with any sides. Instead of just bread that some restaurants provide, this one provided us with some bread, wagyu butter, tomatoes, and cucumbers. I didn't think I would be raving about tomatoes but here I am. They were delicious. Our main course took a bit to come out but we were able to enjoy the people watching and the decor. The food: everything tasted amazing. I wish I had taken better pictures of the food but it was really amazing. The potatoes were a little too buttery but that was easily balanced by dipping them in the pork chop jus. I can't wait to go back and bring my closest friends. read more

Imagine having a chefs table experience only a few steps from the beach! Get yourself an early reservation so after dinner you can watch the sunset over the ocean from the boardwalk. Definitely call a for a reservation a day before or as early as possible, the place fills up quick being that it's small. that is the best part. It's an intimate dining experience. The food is absolutely outstanding, and you can watch the chefs actually cook it in front of you. it's all smaller portions, it's perfect to share when you get a few apps entrees and side. They start you off with pickled cucumbers and bread , the artichoke appetizer to die for! The entrees I always get two or three to share with my husband because it's date night and there desserts are homemade as can be! Cheese cake ...chefs kiss! I'm so glad I was lost in Long Beach once to have found this place! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Visiting from the city and was truly one of my favorite food experiences ever. Ever bite was so thought out, fresh, and full of flavor. Literally planned a whole day trip today to come here and have it again. One of my favorite restaurants ever. The tuna tartare was seriously a flavor explosion and the best I've ever had...and considering it's one of my faves I always order when I see it on the menu that says a lot read more

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. read more

Ask the local Foodies where to eat and Lost and Found will likely be at the top of the list! Known for a constantly changing menu, this hotspot features creative dishes inspired by the regional culinary histories of Europe, the Mediterranean and Middle East- think "Gypsy Bistro". If you're lucky, you may score a seat at the Chefs' Counter, where you can watch the chefs do their thing and strike up a conversation. While it's sibling restaurant, Lost at Sea, may boast Steve's handcrafted cocktails, here you'll find a curated list of eclectic wines from near and far alongside an offering of classic German beers. Book your reservations early in the week, this places fills up quick! read more

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! read more

To give you an idea of how much I enjoy the place...I flew from Dulles airport to LaGuardia on a Sunday evening before a business meeting on the south shore...in the winter...and came here before going to my hotel. My Uber driver couldn't believe anyone wanted to go from LGA to a restaurant in Long Beach. Place is solid. Great ambience and constantly changing menu. I came here a few times over the summer when visiting family and couldn't believe a place like this was in the West End. Duck, chicken, burger, burrata, veggies, hummus, all of it has been excellently executed. Even my 12 year old son was floored by it. I never thought I would rave and make a destination of a south shore Long Island restaurant, but here I am. Def looking forward to summer. read more

Always a great experience coming to this restaurant. We always sit by the kitchen bar to have that experience with the chef. The menu changes every single day so you never know what to expect upon coming in. The menu always includes a good diversity of seafood, steak, chicken, & tapas styled appetizers. Every time I come here, the seafood which includes different kinds of fish & shellfish are always my favorite. The steak was cooked perfectly to medium just as we asked. The wine selection was very good too. Had a nice contrast of different red & whites that tasted great. I definitely recommend this place! 10/10 read more

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. read more

Hands down, one of the best restaurants on Long Island! The service and team are wonderful, the chefs have magic hands, great beverages & wine - what more can you ask for! Only discovered in October and have had the chance to go twice, I highly recommend going and grabbing a bite! read more

Yikes. I would've never ended up in this place had it not been for a friend who had been raving about the food for months. Clearly, i am never trusting his again. The tomato/mayo/pickled cucumber dish that was on the house was god awful. Soggy cucumbers, bread drenched in oil with a slab of mayo on the side. Everything was off from taste to presentation. It was at this point that I realized I was going to leave hungry and disappointed. Every dish that we had was terrible; celery salad, burrata, lamb (so fatty, no flavor) and the paprika chicken-which tasted like a Costco rotisserie chicken smothered in butter and paprika. Every dish was overly salted, oily and overpriced. What is the chef aiming for with this menu? Too many random dishes and ingredients. Please leave me lost and NOT found. read more

The food here was BEAUTIFUL and DELICIOUS! Everything we ate was wonderful, and trust me, we ate a lot! Loved the tapas-style plates of fresh seafood and veggies. All the flavors SANG! The servers were super friendly and professional, however it was slammed when we were there, as it's a small place and it was a Friday night, which resulted in us getting kind of forgotten along with the other table outside. I will definitely return, but I recommend getting a reservation. I think that would take care of the issue, and I almost don't want to mention it because I loved the place otherwise! read more

Yum. A friend of mine recommended this place and as it's almost 35 mins away from me, I was always like I can just go to the city instead if I travel and extra 10 mins, so why here? She told me to trust her and I did. I am very glad I did. The interior is not huge, reservations are highly recommended. I love me an open kitchen where you can see what's being made, it makes you a part of the entire experience. Before we even ordered they brought out a plate with some cucumbers and dill, tomatoes with onion and vinegar, butter, and some toasted bread. It was so fresh and delicious. The hummus we ordered was so creamy and had spices and came with a hot fluffy pita. The fried potatoes, we asked for extra crispy, and they were so good. Tossed in a sort of lemony mayo sauce. The prosciutto arugula salad with Buffalo mozzarella was also delicious. The artichoke hearts were Smoky lemony and also very very good. We also ordered a chicken entree which was cooked in a red pepper sauce - juicy and flavorful. As well as a lamb burger, and I've had many lamb burgers and this was just a simple burger that really just showcases the meat, possibly one of the best I've had. This is just a suggestion tho, but I think a very thin slice of red onion on that burger would knock it out of the park for me. None the less I hear the menu is always changing so I am also looking forward to going again! read more

EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOD HERE!!! It has a vibe and taste of farm to table restaurant!! Top favorites: Kale Salad Duck (THE BEST THAT I'VE TRIED!) Cheesecake (IT MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH! ) Hummus & Pita (I don't even eat this but when I tried it here, OMG, HEAVEN!) P.S. This restaurant changes their menu from time to time/weekly. And they are only open from 5pm onwards! Closed on Tuesday & Wednesday. read more

One word: hummus. I hate store bought hummus but get really excited about a good hummus and they have a great hummus platter. They serve a plate of dill marinated cucumber and tomatoes and toast that pairs amazing with the hummus platter as well. I'm a mostly-vegetarian and would've been happy for that plus wine to be my whole meal. The prosciutto and asparagus was delish - I don't know the type of green that it came with but that was the real highlight. The steak was cooked perfectly. Apparently it's normally seared with a blow torch at the table but unfortunately we didn't get that experience our night there. The grilled veggie side was roasted and seasoned perfectly. And the wine was amazing to boot. Small location so get a reservation well in advance. The kitchen is right in the middle of the restaurant adding to the ambiance. read more

A gem in Long Beach. The food the service the everything about this restaurant was delicious.

This is by far the best restaurant in Long Beach (and the only other that comes close is their sister restaurant, Lost at Sea). Every single dish is delicious and this place would hold its own in NYC or anywhere. I went here in person over the summer and have ordered takeout more recently too. The first time I went (pictured), we got mozzarella, ratatouille, short rib, artichokes and apple pie. Plus a bottle of wine, it was only $80 for two of us (and as a former Manhattan resident, yes this is a great deal for the quality of the food) For takeout, I've also tried their chicken schnitzel, lamb meatballs, hummus, and caesar salad. Their menu changes every day, check their Instagram for the latest! I can't wait to be back here in person, too, because the restaurant has the best cozy, laid back vibe with great music that makes you feel like you're in Europe. Keep up the great work! read more

I live over an hour from Long Beach and I have been here countless times with my fiancé, family, and several friends. In fact most times when we dine elsewhere, I make it a point that it would've been better to come to Lost & Found Sit at the bar and watch how each dish is crafted, order a bottle of wine and order food like you're going to the chair. The menu changes slightly each visit, with some changes in the regular meals Last night we started with their burrata salad, fried cauliflower and the falafel. All incredible. Next was the lamb special which I couldn't get enough of along with the artichokes. BEST ARTICHOKES OF YOUR LIFE no exaggeration We then moved on to the 1/2 chicken and the short rib rigatoni. My goodness, I haven't ordered the chicken each previous time so this was truly a treat, with their seasonings tonight and most definitely getting it next time. The short rib over the pasta had an amazing sauce, flavor and melted in your mouth For dessert was a apricot cheesecake with some sort of actual cheese in the shape of a flower on top. Delicious All this was for two people, they are generous portions, but we tend to splurge when we come out here. Of course we had take home which is proudly next day lunch. I cannot wait for my next dinner here. Looking forward to the menu, wonderful staff and that really full drive home. If you are craving dinner experience unlike no other, dine at Lost & Found read more

This restaurant is such a rare gem! The atmosphere & art will delight your soul while you peruse the daily menu of chef Alexis' chosen finds of the evening! Boy were we shocked and delighted! No one could have prepared us for this journey! The artichokes and lemon with crispy garlic and a phenomenal aioli to start our meal melted in our Mouths and teased our palettes (of course following the complimentary a-mouse-bouche of cucumber dill- tomato- lightly toasted bread and butter). For entrees I chose the bucatini pesto which was light and flavorful and oh so abundant of fresh basil and garlic. The portion wasn't overwhelming after our appetizer and left enough room for sharing and tasting; I was able to share the amazing frites from my husbands burger which I chose to dip in an aoli according to my husband : the best burger and bun he has ever had! He could have stopped at half a burger but would never let this perfect delight go to waste! So we walked home and walked it off after having the light and delicious olive cake with crème! The wine selection was amazing! This is likely the top restaurant not only in Long Beach but in Nassau County. Chef is not afraid to explore boundaries and delight rather than pleasing the masses. We found out they are open Mondays for Walkin's and Tuesday's are taco Tuesday's with specialty tacos. Please don't tell too many people, we hope to get a seat again! BTW PAID BY CREDIT CARD with fee like most restaurants STAFF/ service WAS PHENOMENAL - thanks Andrea! read more
