I came here with a friend on Thursday at around 5:30 PM. We walked in and sat at the bar. We shared an appetizer of fried squash blossoms which was delicious and I also got the spinach ravioli with lemon ricotta, and pine nuts. I wish they had better beer options since I am an IPA lover. I did find it to be a nice touch to get a frosted glass. Itβs definitely quite pricey, but also very delicious. The space is beautiful.

I was really looking forward to trying out the food at Lost Letters. So, I booked my reservation for birthday to treat myself since the plates were on the higher end. Hands down the restaurant atmosphere is beautiful and really nice. I felt like I was transported out of Richmond to somewhere you would come across in California. When we were seated, we were warmly greeted by the restaurantβs sommelier and later our server. We ordered drinks looked over menu and once we finally got our drinks and placed our order. Things started to go downhill from here. The staff were not attentive. When the basket of bread and olive oil was served, we were not given bread additional plates and had to wait a bit to start our first course. While we were waiting for plates, I wanted to get the service staffs attention because I had finished my cocktail. I was met with an abrasive tone. The sommelier overheard and asked if there was anything that I needed and tended to me quickly. We eventually received bread plates and our meals. Personally, I think the leeks were not an appealing and easy to eat meal. The utensil we had did not cut the leeks really well. It was something that was very awkward to e

We tried Lost Letter after rave reviews. The service was almost too good as the staff are super attentive leaving little room for time alone to talk. The food was beautifully prepared although very heavy on the salt. Menu choices sparse and no specials. The plates were heavy on the accompanying side, so the main meat wasnβt noticed first just the fluff under it, as you can see. I have had better and more flavorful octopus elsewhere. I was a tad disappointed as we frequent new restaurants in town and this one fell a little short of what I thought I was going to experience. No a no go just not the best either.

We had a great anniversary dinner here and loved the food and atmosphere. They have a beautiful veranda with fans if its hot outside, or heaters for the winter. The beef tatare and rock fish were two of our favorites. We'll definitely go back again!

Lost Letter is a gem! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and highly professional. They are some of the best in the industry. My husband and I have been several times. Every time Iβve gotten up from the table, my napkin has been neatly folded by the time Iβm back. They also wipe the table between courses which is nice. The meals Iβve had at Lost Letter have been some of the best Iβve ever had. The food is always picturesque and so thoughtfully curated. Thank you all for being so friendly and kind and always providing an amazing experience. I recommend your restaurant to everyone. Keep up the good work!
