Description

Lost Lake Cafe and Lounge is a 3,000 square foot diner in Capitol Hill. In 2013, Bradley Foster of Thrillist wrote, "Inside, Lost Lake is stylishly lost in time, its space dominated by an old-school diner-style bar and clad in '60s-era decor ranging from faux wood paneling to chandeliers the Jetsons would love."
The breakfast menu, served all day, includes benedicts, fried chicken and buttermilk biscuits, pancakes, and vegan hash. Lunch and dinner options include meatloaf, sandwiches, tuna melts, and salads. The diner has also served skirt steak fajitas and eggnog French toast. For Thanksgiving, the diner has served cider-brined turkey, honey-glazed ham, and vegetarian lasagna. For Christmas, Lost Lake has served crab bisque, turkey, and mulled wine with brandy.
