Lost And Found

AWESOME BURGER! AMAZING VIBE HERE!! THIS PLACE IS BOOKED AND BUSY FOR A REASON! Absolutely will come back here. Great date night spot. Or come and sit solo at the window. $25 for the burger &fries. I guess that’s fair in 2025!

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!

Great food and great staff, except for host this past Sunday night. Does not know how to treat people and he was not flexible to take care of patrons that frequent this restaurant and treated with disrespect and does not looking for our repeat business. Had friends from LA, had been raving about your restaurant for the last four years, food was always up to par, because of your poor representation, was sadly disillusioned and will not be coming back to your establishment.

I challenge you to find a better restaurant anywhere on long island … you can’t … you walk into this place and you are transported to another world. The food is unbelievable the service is perfect the decor is unreal. A truly special place.

Best place in the area! Staff is great, food is consistently amazing. Try the fried artichokes and the hummus, you won’t regret it! Also very good wines on the menu.

Delicious food !! Love to eat close to the great chef !! Place to go for sure. I recommend it. Never disappointed - good choice of wine and the Food menu is always exciting to read !!

There always changing menu keeps you wanting more! Unique flavors and fresh catches makes for the perfect group outing. We almost ordered one of everything and shared between 6 people. Made for great conversations and good laughs and memories. **Cash Only**

This is my favorite restaurant! Every time we come it’s AMAZING! Wonderful service, music, atmosphere, and of course food! Never disappoints and always leaves satisfied. Highly recommend. Best restaurant in Long Beach by far!!!

Food was very salty, over seasoned did not agree with me. Was unable to eat for 2 days

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.

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.

Gem of a place. Food is fantastic. Service friendly. Great vibe. Two blocks from beach. Will be back!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Service was really poor. Had to wait for menus, server had his back to us at the bar while we waited for service. The restaurant seems to be a little rude too.

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.

phenomenal food great service and a lovely intimate atmosphere. can't wait to return.

I hate to rate this because it's too perfect. Stay away if you're thinking of taking my seat.

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.

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!

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

Food... Just OK Service Below Fair Atmosphere NONE Pricing Very High Selection. Bad

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

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!

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!

Excellent food, service and atmosphere , a unique experience with a great selection of delicious foods.

I just don't, and can't see it! This place really thinks that they are doing you a favor by eating here. The prices are to high, the seating is terrible, they don't accept credit cards, and they serve very small portions. And yet they are crowded but not like they used to be.

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.

Probably my all time favorite restaurant. Best food, best workers in the business. From chef to server always top notch service.

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

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.

Bad seating Won't take Credit Cards Chef had a bad attitude Server rushed us. High prices Other than that it was ok :)

Not really the reviewing type but this place is exceptional. Came here solo while in town for a gig (I'm a musician) and was worried because so many of the reviews said you need a reservation. However when I went it was walk-in only and was seated right away at the chef's counter. I was greeted by the dynamic duo holding it down and enjoyed every bite and every moment of my experience. While it was crowded it didn't feel overwhelming. I have dined in countless restaurants all over and this was truly a memorable experience. I can't wait to come back. Thank you to all of the staff.

Adorable bistro with tapas style cuisine. We ate everything from sea bass to lamb sausage to cod fritters. Portions are decent and worth every morsel. Beech Street area of Long Beach which can get crowded and tough to navigate parking but the food and ambiance are worth it. Excellent service with casua

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!

lovely french bistro style. Food is always great. Dishes made with care. staff always pleasant.

My bf and I came here again. Everything about this restaurant is truly amazing! Still deserves a 5 star review. The food is outstanding! Staff are friendly and accommodating! The chef even took the time to greet us. The prices are amazing for the fresh, high quality food. Can't wait to come back again!

By far one of my favorite restaurants not only in Long Beach but of all time. Real talk, the chef is not only super talented but he is also a great dude. Always great conversations it's a treat to be able to watch him work his magic!

Food was absolutely delicious!! Been dying to try this place since first opened but was hard to get a reservation and finally got the chance. It was totally worth it!! Sat at the chief's table, Danny was very knowledgeable and funny. Such a great experience. Would definitely go back soon!!

Sorry but I just can't see the hype here. Not when there are so many other good choices. Even though I've tried it several times. I just don't see the Hype and the rave reviews.

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!

On April 21st, I went to Lost and Found with three other people (a 4-person party) for brunch. We all ordered individual meals (two orders of the bacon slab with eggs and home-fries, an order of avocado toast, and the shakshuka) and then ordered some ricotta pancakes for dessert. The shakshuka is a dish that they bake for a little while, so that took the longest to make. They brought out the three other brunch items and then I waited 10 minutes, pretty much everyone was done with their food, when they finally brought my meal out. After 2 minutes of bringing out my meal, they then brought out the ricotta pancakes which were supposed to be for dessert, but I had only just started eating my meal. There was no apology for delaying my meal or bringing out the dessert when I had only just gotten my food. This wasn't the best experience, especially when this was a birthday brunch with my family. The following night, which was my actual birthday (April 22nd), we had decided to go back because maybe this was a fluke. We ordered two glasses of wine and two entrees at first. One dish was sausage with mashed potatoes and the other a pasta dish with guanciale. After getting the food, I started to mix the pasta only to see no pieces of guanciale inside. After a couple of minutes, I asked the waitress if there was any guanciale inside the dish after telling her I didn't see any. She went and asked the chef and he said that he had put the guanciale in the dish and she then brought out a cold cup of the guanciale to add to the dish. After seeing the pieces she brought out, there was no way that guanciale was placed in the pasta and now I have to put it in myself after I waited so now not only is the guanciale cold but the whole dish is now cold. After we finished our meals, we asked the waitress what they were offering for dessert. There were two options, an apple pie and a box cheesecake. We asked for cheesecake. After 15 minutes a different waitress brings out an apple pie. We didn't order an apple pie and I must say I don't think the two options can be confused when hearing them, but now instead of sending it back we just ate the apple pie since we had waited a while for that to bake instead of them just slicing a piece of cheesecake and bringing it to us. After this encounter, I didn't feel like there was much hope for returning but in the past, I had never experienced anything like this from here since I have come numerous times in the past without any issues. Instead of never returning, we again tried it out on May 17th, this past Friday. Without fail we were disappointed yet again. We ordered the risotto as an app and two entrées, the peppercorn sauce filet and the chicken. The risotto was very tasty and when the meal finally came out my filet was cold. I truly wasn't sure if maybe this was how they were serving it so when the waitress came back to check on us, I had asked her if this dish was supposed to be luke warm/cold. She told me no and took the plate away. After a few minutes the dish came back out with significantly less sauce than before, and now the filet being over done because they just placed the pieces back onto the grill to heat them up. There was no longer a color to the meat after having ordered it medium rare and the waitress had taken my steak knife without bringing another one back out with the dish. She noticed I didn't have one and told me she would be right back with one, I waited 5 minutes until I then used my partner's knife in fear that my food would again become cold. She only returned with a knife after I had completely finished the meal. Just like every time, there was no apology, no effort of a resolution, and no accountability taken for the errors. I no longer have a hope or want to return to this establishment and wish there was just some kind of effort to make up for all the errors but there has been no accountability taken for any of the errors each time we have returned.

I think this is a rip off, the prices are outrageous, and the portions are tiny Tapas. The seating is really bad as well.

Excellent food. Menu changes but choices in every category. Maybe just a drop salty but everything was so tasty.

Prime Rib was amazing!! What a great find. Intimate with a great atmosphere. Definitely will come back to this spot!!

Came in on Saturday night at 8:00. They were out of a lot of entrees, and being that the menu is limited begin with, it almost seemed like nothing was available. We ordered desert and nobody bothered to to tell us that they were out after waiting 20 minutes. Go on a weekday

Came here with my boyfriend last night and was blown away ...The service was so attentive and I dare say the burger may have been the best I have ever had. I can't wait to come back and eat everything else on the menu. Also very reasonably priced! The list can go on and on...

I don't understand the high ratings here, I don't care much for this place , the serve TAPAS PLATES THAT ARE VERY SMALL, THEY WON'T TAKE CREDIT CARDS, AND THE SEATING IS TERRIBLE. You actually sit on little benches, just big enough for a small person. The seats are wooden that are very uncomfortable , There are plenty of other places that are better in this town..

It's only getting 3 stars because I had a better prior experience there. Invited there for a small get-together in the past and was fine, but now I'm thinking that time the host of said party made very specific requests. This past time my wife and I were not happy. Yes, we should have perused the menu online before arrival. The limited menu left us ordering 2 salads and 2 cooked veggie dishes, no bueno. I'm not gonna eat raw tuna, venison, or duck, I'm no caveman. The wine list was limited and overpriced. Since we were still hungry at the end we ordered both desserts. The apple thing was fine. They ruined a nice cheese cake by pouring honey on it. Gonna be a while before I try back there. They only take cash... ok. They put us in a table by the phone with uncomfortable chairs.

Arguably the best food in the west end. Everything is so delicious and made fresh, love love love it here. My only negative is that sometimes they don't honor the reservations you made and you have to wait a long time for the table you reserved, but the food is worth the wait!

This restaurant is an absolute gem. My friend and I shared several vegetarian dishes and all were 10/10. The wine selection is great as well. The ambiance is very cozy and romantic. I highly recommend making a reservation.

The gem of Long Beach. It's an intimate spot that only takes cash, so plan your visit accordingly... but do make sure that you plan a visit. The staff is incredibly friendly and if you catch the chef in the right "mood", it's almost like having your own private show. As far as the food goes, don't even get me started... the menu constantly changes depending on what the chef has available, but every item is unique and delicious. Seriously, don't be afraid to try multiple/all options as many of the plates are "small", but oh MAN are they incredible. Given how frequently the menu changes I don't really have a single item to recommend, but I would suggest trying anything beef/steak-related if it's on the menu.

Tiny place. You just make a reservation. Small menu but everything was interesting lots of meat dishes. Staff is great. One of my favorites.
