    Unfortunately it doesn't look like Lost Lake Lodge has set up their 2024 summer menu for success. Prices too high for the so-so food quality. Entree does not include a salad or bread. You need to purchase these separately at a way too high of a price. They offer one steak choice. Very poor cut of meat. The walleye was bland and I suspect it had been frozen a long time. Poor, boring plate presentation. Appetizer wings were good, but small and appear to be a cheap variety. Server was very nice but she needs more training. She did not suggestion sell or do any service above the basic. We live on the lake and eat out at local restaurants often with friends throughout the summer. We may not return here.

    Food is always excellent but the service is always lacking. We definitely don’t need much but met with awkwardness with the kids. They don’t have a kids menu but offer two items that we had to ask about. They were also out of milk which seems like a very basic staple…?

    The food was delicious but could have been served hotter. The portions are small but the prices are fine for what you get.

    Our meals were all excellent. We enjoyed the new Asian influenced menu. Had a great bottle of red French wine, and reasonably priced! Great view. We look forward to going back.

    Service was a tad slow, even though restaurant was virtually empty. Server delivered our dinner and did not come back for approx. 20 min. During which time my water glass was empty and my wife was missing the asparagus the server said was included. She did not present us with dessert options, nor did we inquire. Food was good, not outstanding. The hostess spilled a bucket of ice cubes at the table next to us, which was kind of amusing. But the amusement turned to astonishment when nobody came to clean it up for over ten minutes. Again, the place was nearly empty.

    Our second visit to Lost Lake Lodge this season. The food is VERY good! Chateaubriand app was outstanding. Highly recommend duck wings, walleye, chicken thighs and grilled Caesar salad. The crab cakes were huge with very little filler and lots of crab. We haven’t tried the grouper yet but have heard it is great. Hard to find good food in seasonal areas as most restaurants close at seasons end and chefs move on. We hope this one doesn’t.
