    French toast
    Asha B.

    We came to Lost & Found on Capitol Hill for my birthday because we love a good classic diner brunch moment. The vibe? Super fun. Lively, packed, energetic -- definitely the kind of place that feels like a weekend spot. That said, it was very busy and service was on the slower side. I had noted it was my birthday, but there wasn't any acknowledgment, which was a little disappointing. Not a dealbreaker -- just something that would've made it feel more special. Now the food: solid. Good. Comforting. Just not particularly memorable. I had the French toast, which comes with four slices, two eggs, and your choice of bacon or sausage. It was exactly what you'd expect from diner French toast -- satisfying, but nothing that stood out. My husband ordered the chorizo hash with sourdough bread, which he enjoyed. Again, good flavors, not the heartiest portion -- and not something memorable. The biggest surprise was the pricing. The mimosas are around $20, which felt pretty steep for a diner-style brunch. I definitely wouldn't order those again here. Overall, for the portion sizes and what we got, the prices felt a bit high. We loved the vibe and the location -- Capitol Hill energy is always a win -- but I wouldn't go out of my way to return. It was good, just not special enough to justify the cost for us. Fun spot if you're already nearby and want a lively brunch scene but I'd grab drinks at one of the nearby bars instead of with the meal here.

    Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Fries
    Nadia S.

    Tried Lost Lake Cafe & Lounge and really loved the vibe. It's cozy, lively, and has that classic diner-meets-lounge feel. The service was great and the staff were super friendly. We ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with fries and a grilled cheese with onion rings. The chicken sandwich was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The fries were well-seasoned too. The grilled cheese was comforting with gooey melted cheese, and the onion rings were crispy but a bit on the greasy side. Overall, it's a fun spot, though it does get a little loud during busy hours.

    Breakfast Sandwich
    Bree C.

    Honestly I was expecting so much more from this cute diner spot - the food was soooo mediocre (see pic of $13 breakfast sandwich), expensive, and not good value at all. Other people in my party would agree.. it's typical diner food but not worth its price. :(

    Oreo shake

    Stopped by here after going to a book event next door and was thrilled to sit and eat later in the evening. The vibe is cozy and a lovely diner. The food was a bit expensive but very tasty and big portions. The milkshake is giant and I got tons of fries. Overall very tasty and will stop again when I go to another book event for sure.

    The Classic
    Jay S.

    I met up with some friends for brunch. I ordered a classic breakfast. It is simple, two eggs over easy, hash browns and biscuit. Eggs cooked perfectly, hash browns crispy on top and bottom, and biscuit baked well. I really like the biscuit, break it in half and heat steam out, crispy top layer and bottom layer, moist in the middle. Service was good and there is 5% service charge. Inside, is classic diner atmosphere.

    Churro Cake
    Sonia S.

    8.19.25: The salmon cake Benedict special was amazing. The churro cake was also great, made even better with a scoop of ice cream.

    I visited Seattle over the Forth of July weekend. Met with family who picked to come here for dinner. We showed up and there wasn't a lot of people in. I was told that if there weren't fireworks shows around town, this place would be super busy. So glad we went on a slow-ish evening. It's a really nice place! Very chill vibes. Nice staff. The service was pretty quick and consistent. The food was great! My other half ordered the roast beef sandwich which was delicious! I had ordered just the roast beef. Also delicious! We ordered chicken wings for the table and an Oreo shake. All amazing! The prices were fair for what we got. We were able to sit, relax and enjoy each other's company without feeling like we had to rush out. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in WA! All-in-all, a good experience.

    Came here for late night happy hour - the prices are good but it is definitely reflected in the quantity you're given. The baskets of food were all very sad looking and honestly a bit too empty even given the discount. It's popping at late night times though.

    Spicy Chicken Sandwich
    Scott K.

    The restaurant was surprisingly slow on a Friday night. It has nice decor and ambiance. Overall, the food was good. They give you large portions, so you get your money's worth. We really liked the fried chicken and onion rings. The spicy chicken sandwich was a little dry and needed more sauce, and some of the steamed vegetables were cold. We will go here again!

    Breakfast menu

    Small Bar/Lounge with a great vibe. Friendly staff and good fresh food. Breakfast served all day. Nice portion sizes.

    Bennie's are the best. Chicken fried steak was extremely tough however the staff removed it and apologized and offered other options.

    Biscuits and Gravy with soft scrambled Eggs

    Service was great. Place is super chill. The star of the show for me was the biscuits and gravy. Quite possibly the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. I will definitely come back here when visiting Seattle again.

The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

    I've reviewed a lot of breweries, and Fremont Brewing did not disappoint!…read more This cool spot has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. A truly legit outdoor space! They are kid and dog-friendly, too. We ordered an NA IPA (which they have on tap!) and their hop water (comes in a can). Both beverages were absolutely delicious. I love that this place is NA-friendly. They offer some light snacks and free pretzels, which is awesome for a brewery without a kitchen. There is a food truck on site, but it was closed when we visited. No worries, though, you can bring outside food, which is perfect since there are plenty of great restaurants in the area. I asked the bartender if they brew at this location, and he said they've moved all brewing to a different location in Seattle, but it's still super fresh and tasty beer all around. This is a spot worth visiting in Seattle or getting together with a large group for a few drinks. Plenty of choices for everyone!

Smattering variety of beer (1-2 offerings per "kind" of beer, non-alc included), so I'd say this place is more for vibes and location, rather beer-focused. That being said, the vibes were good! Random barrels and umbrellas, as well as maybe 10 or so picnic tables across the two outdoor patios (dog-friendly). Saw they also have private event space off to the side. Plenty of indoor seating as well.

There are several beers and some ciders on tap from all around and all the ipa's I've tried here have been pretty decent. from there you grab your brew and have a seat at high top tables within the tap room. Again, the setting is mid-sized good for a couple groups of four and a few two person tables. Music is at a decent volume and is lit dimly making it decent for a date spot or just a place to have conversation without raised voices. Fridges line the tap room so you can mix and match beers, ciders and wines to take out which is cool. I like Bottleworks, I want to enjoy it more, but there are some issues holding me to 3 stars. The staff are...alright. Not bad, but I feel could be a little friendlier. Also they don't allow sample pours? This is a common thing at most breweries, but maybe it's because this is a tap room, but beers run a bit higher here - $8-9 a pour so that's annoying that you can't even try a couple. Lastly, they rotate things out it seems weekly. Some of the more popular options I suppose they keep but seems like a lot of turn around on the drinks so if you like something they have on tap, don't get too attached. Perhaps on subsequent visits It will improve, and I can boost the score here, but besides the decent beers and setting, it's just OK here.
