I think Alanis Morrisette would find it ironic that I got lost trying to find Lost Resort. Why, it's like rain on your wedding day. It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take. But I digress as I finally found it after passing by it on a previous stroll in the quieter part of the Mission. I was intrigued by the huge adjoining social area.
There were so many younger people chilling and cavorting that it felt weird walking in solo. That's why I ended up sitting at the bar in the main area. I was entranced by their cocktail menu which came across as a hybrid between a tiki bar and a cantina. I decided on the $14 Holy Diver, a sassy pina colada with an out-of-left-field ingredient, chicory & coffee-infused mezcal.
It provided an unexpected kick to the usual suspects - rum, lime, pineapple, orange juice, coconut milk, and cinnamon (photo: https://bit.ly/43F1CmQ). The unusual drink was a nice complement to the $15 Kale and Herb Salad, a hearty, tasty pile of shaved dino kale, soft herbs with almond dressing, avocado, Fresno chile, sliced strawberries, and shaved parmesan (photo: https://bit.ly/3K3O7G1). Yeah, it was a good place to get lost.
