    We dropped by this place Memorial Day weekend while cruising on Lake Minnetonka. This place has been several different restaurants over the past few years, so we figured we'd check it out. Parking by boat is a little confusing because there are areas for getting gas and areas for parking at Lost Bay. It gets a little congested and you have to go through a little maze of dock to get to the restaurant. Lost Bay's wharf is pretty small, especially when compared to Lord Fletcher's and Maynard's. There is also not a great view of the lake...it's mainly just docks in your line of sight. There are two areas for seating, one that is uncovered, and one that is covered. We were sat in the covered area, which was fine. It was pretty hard to hear as there was loud EDM music playing on the speakers. It was a little off-putting that this woman right next to our table was hitting her vape constantly and then following up by coughing. It made the atmosphere a bit questionable. On the bright side, Lost Bay had several fun drink options that members of our group enjoyed. The food menu was pretty limited, and I ordered the nachos to share with my partner. It was a large portion, which was fair for $22. I'm not sure I'll be back, as there are several other options on the lake that I had a better experience at.

    You go through a twisty turning neighborhood to get to Lost Bay. So don't think your going the wrong way. I am giving it 4 stars because everything comes in boats for the food, plastic cups for drinks and paper containers for dips. That was odd to me. They did good on presentation for the drinks. Would've looked better in a glass. JS. Doesn't make the food taste different because the food was really good! Easy packaging because it's a marina too. I get it. I ordered frose all day. A grown up slushy that I could have sucked on ALL DAY. It had rhubarb in it and packed a punch. My husband ordered the gold rush. For apps we had chips, guacamole and queso. The guac was good and the queso didn't stay hot long, but was tasty as well. We went right after a rain/hail storm(8/11/23) but they had everything wiped down and the tiki umbrellas were taken down. There is more seating outside than inside. For dinner we ordered the stacked club sandwich and the lost burger, both with fries. The fries were "fire" as they say. Hot and fresh. Everything tasted good. My husband had to dissect his sandwich because it was SO big he couldn't get his mouth around the whole thing. Our friends ordered a classic cheeseburger and the Buffalo fried chicken sandwich. Both enjoyed their meal as well. The ambiance was like sitting in your backyard. Nothing fancy and that's OK. The view of the lake was beautiful and quiet. Felt for the neighbors, which explains why the close at 9PM. Cute place, but I wouldn't want a restaurant in my backyard. We would definitely go back.

    We have now been here three times since the soft opening. The primary reason we go here is because like their predecessor Tequila Butcher, they allow dogs - and are the only lake restaurant to do so. Wow, is this place packed! Tequila Butcher was never like this. Get your name in and go get a drink at the bar. My wife loves their booze slushies and says they are strong. I am disapponted by their paltry beer selection, the best being the Modist Dreamyard IPA in a can. Great beer, but I can get the can at home. IMO, quality draft beer on the lake is mandatory, and more options for craft beer would be way better. I don't mind the $7 price. Service great. I don't know why there are so many employees and if it was just training them all at once. Food: I've had the falafel wrap (great), smoked salmon salad (very good) and ginormous beef nachos with super hot jalapenos (superb). I give that the Best Nachos on the Planet award, and I did not upgrade to the $10 brisket. My wife and others we met here all like the food, especially tge wraps and wings. Tacos are the only iffy items due to smaller size. Onion rings also get a call-out for being perfectly fried with just the right amount of grease. It would make a great State Fair staple and make this place a fortune. Prices fine. Actually cheaper than the other lake restaurants. Soft opening went surprisingly smoothly in terms of wait time not being that long despite huge crowds. So, five stars for allowing dogs, food and great staff. The only cons is the beer selection if you like great beer. See the other review about trying to get a docking spot, which is not Lost Bay's fault. Blame RSI Marine. They did that massive and much needed dock replacement 2-3 years ago, but did not add more restaurant slips. Be sure you check in with the dock hands and other boaters idling by, because some are waiting for gas, not the food. It can also be hairy getting your boat in with the big waves and wind, and that big boat tied up parallel on the right, and fairly active traffic on the left where the launch is, so beware.

    We live in the area so we always try it every summer, usually the experiences are pretty mediocre. We met friends there for a drink and they ordered a mushroom with white sauce pizza, which looked pretty good, and they said that it was good. The next night we decided to order one to bring home. My wife ordered a sausage pizza online and I went to pickup. The pizza was at the check in stand when I got there. I brought it home and found an overcooked sausage, pepperoni and onion pizza. I brought the pizza back thinking they gave me the wrong pizza. When I got there, I told them I think I got somebody else's pizza and didn't mention that I thought it was overcooked. They said no that was our pizza, so I showed the young lady a screen shot of our order. So eventually, they decided they were going to make me a new pizza and I patiently waited for it to get done. They eventually brought it out to me and I brought it home. It was fairly soggy, and seemed undercooked, but tasted OK. The sausage seemed to be a low grade sausage, which I know sounds funny. I would say it was OK gas station pizza. It wasn't busy, at all, so that wasn't the issue. It has to be tough to be consistent when it is seasonal and literally completely dependent on the weather. I do wish them the best. You do get a nice view of you choose to eat on the wharf.

    Tacos and chips & queso

    We've been to every iteration of restaurant here for the past 30 years and we were expecting much more from the newest owners based on their pedigree of the Daniel del Prado and Aaron Switz ownership duo. We were turned off by the price of the nacho tray ($22 for beef and $32 for brisket) as we didn't want one that serves 6, we're just two people. Maybe offer a 1/2 portion for 1/2 the price? We ordered the tacos and felt that they were pretty bland, lacking interesting flavor and spice. Why is the chicken and brisket cubed? Umbrellas on the deck look like the $50 plastic fake-tiki ones you see on Amazon and they're too low unless you're under 5'6". The bar is very limited to their custom drinks which is disappointing. We did enjoy their gin-based drinks, but a full bar should be standard. (It was last year.) This effort is nothing like their other restaurants Josefina and Macanda, they need to step up their game if this is to succeed long term. BTW- love the deck and location in general and they added two more slips totaling 7 for restaurant boat parking. Talk to the gas dock people for parking.

    Good service - but prices are higher than cov and the food ain't that good. Vibe also needs a lot of work.

I think it was perfect during happy hour and then could turn off when the dancing started. Food: The jerk chicken egg rolls were huge and had great flavor. Also enjoyed the little sliders. The meat on the skewers was a super weird texture like almost a mushy bite maybe it was like a vegan meat I wasn't sure. The service at the bar was a bit slow at times there was two back there but the staff worked really hard at the end as the party went late and the staff was awesome cleaning up around us til the last minute so thanks for that!!! I liked the rum punch I had and the back space looked small but still fit a Photo Booth, the food table and dj table

We went back today and while it was still good, definitely wasn't as good as it was last time. The jerk chicken plate removed the beans, changed the rice, and got rid of the sauce so it wasn't as good though it was a bit less dry than last time. They also removed the Ropa Vieja from the menu which was our favorite. My husband had the Cuban sandwich and was not impressed. The fries with it were good. The drinks were still great. Service was friendly but slow (drinks, food, and waitress all slow). Another in our party got the blackened salmon which was really good. Unfortunately, I was so nervous they would remove or change the menu to be worse, which is a common theme I've noticed with 4 different restaurants by these owners now, so I was so bummed to see that's exactly what happened. Such a cool vibe, great drinks, and a really cool new patio - but the food needs a bit of work - bring back the Ropa Vieja and the better jerk chicken!

We seen they were setting up for live music which was such a treat. Turns out it was "Date Night". The music was great, covers of 90s r&b songs. We were sat a couch not too far from where the music was performed. It wasn't too busy as it was later in the evening. We only ordered drinks but they do have a select few menu items (maybe 5 things total). For drinks we got a tropical punch one (forgot the name), vanilla espresso martini and they also had free champagne as well. Drinks were pretty good. The overall vibes were lively and fun! Because the website is down not sure if they are open later everyday but they were open until 11pm this night vs. the 10pm posted time which was cool. Smaller intimate setting. The bathroom is in a shared hallway and requires a code. Parking is metered or there's ramps nearby. Wasn't too hard finding a meter later at night.

Can't beat the views and the parking if you're lucky is pretty close, but no problem to walk to this place. Inside seating is just as nice with great views. Service was exceptional! We had the absolute best server who was just amazing! So outgoing and made the visit enjoyable. Just an absolute delight and I heard others complimenting his as well. He really made our Mother's Day brunch enjoyable. Food was great: Mediterranean chop salad looked amazing and was said to be very good. Eggs, bacon and toast were good. American breakfast- good potatoes. Breakfast sandwich was good. Amazing sauce on the arugula. Breakfast tacos were also said to be good with really good tortillas. Bloody Mary was pretty good. It didn't have all the bells and whistles with it, but it was a great spicy flavor. This place is a gem and checked all the boxes. I am sure it is quite packed in the warmer months. Excellent music playlist and clean restrooms. Highly recommend this place!

I went with the Mexico City cocktail that has a smoky yet fruity taste to it alongside a black salt rim. Delish.

Their brunch menu looks great and their patio overlooking the city - can't beat those views! Remy and Brady were our awesome bartenders who were friendly and helpful with suggestions.
