Hadn't tried this place yet and was hopeful that in the food desert that is Westminster, it would be a shining star. We were the first customers for lunch today and the server was attentive and gave recommendations, unfortunately the food was not good, very bland. We normally don't voice our opinion but today when asked by the server how it was, it was hard to not say as our food was that disappointing. The owner was sitting at the bar during our entire meal but disappeared as soon as we complained. Not returning. read more

Love the vibe of this local little restaurant. The food was incredible and the servers attentive. Even our kids who are quite picky were able to find things that they raved about all night. My wife loved the coconut shrimp tacos and the smash burgers that my son and I got were incredible. Only downside was because it is a small restaurant tables are very limited during busier times. Check them out! You're going to enjoy this little gem! read more

I've waited awhile to review this restaurant but after reading another review I decided to write mine. I completely agree with the people who say limited menu. And if you want to customize something or substitute something due to food allergy or adversion to an ingredient, nope not going to happen. We will not be going back, too many other places to choose from that accommodate their customers needs. read more

Always friendly service. Great local vibe. Refreshing new takes on familiar cuisines. finally another good local restaurant that isn't a chain! read more

I live near Annapolis and there are a lot of great places but The Lost Lion is truly a hidden gem you must visit!!Highly recommend The Lost Lion. read more

Good food and wait service. Small dining area but very good atmosphere. Enjoyable venue to have a quiet night out.

We visited the restaurant last night for the first time. The food was great. Our waitress was very efficient and helpful. The tacos were very good, burgers were very tasty. I am not a French fry person, but I ate those first. A nice casual atmosphere. Very relaxing. We will definitely go back!! Especially love the owner and chef. We knew him as a great rugby coach, but he is an even better restauranteur. read more

The food is great and service are great! Everything tastes fresh, the menu is unique. When you first walk in you are kind of throw off thinking it's a loud bar scene. After you grab a table, you figure out quickly the vibe is different. It's just a fun place to go with yummy food. read more

anything under five stars is absolutely insane, major respect to the chef who cares about quality and doesn't give a flying f*ck about your terrible taste in food, in other words there's no reason to ever change the menu, get some grownup taste buds. 10/10 drinks, 10/10 entrees, 10/10 dessert, 10/10 service. Everything is fairly priced and you can tell all ingredients are extremely fresh. Definitely recommend the Hot Lovin chicken sandwich- best chicken sandwich I've ever had, super crispy, quality chicken and meat:bread was perfect. Awesome fries and super good burgers as well!!! Oh and I hope all you people who wrote bad reviews step on some legos or something read more

A Westminster Wow! We have now been here many times and it never disappoints! Love the food, music and wait staff. Chicken tacos and tuna tacos amazing. Cocktails are delicious and interesting. Desserts- yummm! Great place to go for a date night! read more

Great menu, chic little restaurant, good addition for upscale dining in the Westminster area.

So, we visited for the 1st time today The menu is very limited to Tacos, appetizers, burgers, and a couple of entrees that include a 14 ounce New York strip for a whopping $30. The owner is clueless... Does he not know that Johansson's is right across the street. The food includes a lot of weird stuff like "secret sauce" , Siracha Mayo, brown sauce on the overpriced steak, and the burgers have stuff like coleslaw, bbq sauce, and siracha mayo on them. We ordered burgers that came with bacon, pepper Jack cheese, fried onions, and secret sauce. The wife wanted no bread or Fries due to her Keto preference. There was zero options to replace the fries. Other than not getting them. I wanted them to hold the lettuce,add raw onions, and mayonnaise to replace the secret sauce and fried onions. The waitress said the we can't get it any other way than it comes as that is how the owner likes it. The owner clearly isn't from the restaurant business and is quite frankly a moron. I want it the way I like it, not the way you like it! We paid around $12 for what amounted to an order of chicken tenders with a side of Texas Pete and a few celery sticks. They tasted just fine but are not worth $12 Since I couldn't get a burger without the secret sauce I went with the meatballs off the appetizer menu for around $11 ... for meatballs? They are like $5.00 at J&P. I ordered Diet soda which had absolutely no fizz. Not sure why but I couldn't locate the pump to see what they are serving. But, it was definitely flat. On the flip side there is plenty of booze. About 100 bottles of booze in the place and 14 or so craft beers. So if you want to tie one on then it probably won't matter what is on your burger. The meatballs came to the table with brown gravy and a marinara type sauce both on the plate. The meat itself was cooked about medium (still bloody in the middle) and just warm. Underneath the meatballs was ricotta in the marinara and brown gravy concoction. The wife's fries were good if I'm looking for a positive, the waitresses were nice but obviously uncomfortable telling the customers about the menus lack of flexibility. And practiced apologies for it. I observed a Westminster Firehouse helmet positioned on the top of a shelf. A fireman owner? Another failed restaurant in Westminster! You can count the days until the space is empty again. Once the novelty wears off it's just a matter of time. They certainly won't get another dime from me. I couldn't give it 0 stars or I would! I'd beware of the 5 star reviews on this one. read more

This place puts your mommas cooking to shame, believe it. The manager, Gabby is rocking, very tentative and kind. Highly recommend!

What an incredible dinner! We've been wanting to visit as soon as we heard the former Chameleon owners were opening a new restaurant in town. And it didn't disappoint! The spicy shrimp appetizer was tangy and atop a crunchy bed of slaw that I would eat as its own side dish. The calamari were fried to perfection and served with a deliciously sweet and spicy dipping sauce. Our friends got the meatball appetizer and raved about that as well. The entrees were equally wonderful. My shrimp and sweet potato hash was kicked up with black beans, corn and a kind creams, and my friend's salmon also hit rave reviews. Of course the paella was chock full of seafood and flavor - definitely an entree choice for next time. My husband got the salmon BLT that was terrific, and the broccoli/cauliflower salad was another stellar side dish. We finished the dinner by sharing the lemon and blueberry pound cake - the lemon curd was simply sublime. Even better? Our server Sarah was sweet, attentive and paced the meal perfectly. We can't wait to go back!! read more

Should have visited lost lion sooner! The food was phenomenal, and a breathe of fresh air to the food scene in Westminster. I would highly recommend, BBQ shrimp appetizer, fish of the day entree and coconut shrimp tacos. Each of those three items exceeded our expectations. Old fashioned's were on point too!! Look forward to trying more of the menu on the next visit. read more

I've never had a nicer server and the food was amazing! Not to mention the nice atmosphere! I will definitely be back again!

I have been to this restaurant several times and really enjoyed the food. My daughter and my grandchildren went last night so my daughter could enjoy it as well. They do not have a children's menu which was fine so we found some things the kids would eat without some of the ingredients that they don't care for. The waiter said they don't make any alterations on the menu, mind you all we asked is that they put the sauce on the side and not on top of the food. The manager said that the chef only serves the foods to what his pallet thinks is best. His pallet isn't eating the food, the customers are. I'm curious what the would do if there was a food allergy. Needles to say we left and went to Rock Salt. The food was wonderful and we got to order it the way we like it. Will never go back. read more

This restaurant is on point!! We just ate there for the first time and it was phenomenal- the food and service were perfection! The calamari we got for an appetizer was the best I've ever had- sauce was incredible. The cod and crab was to die for, as was the paella, and the dessert...omg...must try the strawberry shortcake! It's a little loud, but this is to be expected in a small restaurant. The excellent food and perfect service make up for it. Kudos to our waitress Megan and the chef's wife, Jessica, for being SO hospitable. We will absolutely be back to this place- perfect date night; a true gem in Westminster! read more

We have been coming to this place since the first week they opened and we have absolutely loved the food, incredible cocktails and friendly service. This is our go to place every week. Michael does a great job of putting together specials...especially the seafood specials are simply amazing. The crispy haddock and the jambalaya are our favorites. Gaby makes really awesome cocktails and the mint julep is my fav. Jessica is an awesome person to talk to and overall we have always had a great time here....they make us feel like family. read more

Food and drink were tasty as locals had shared. Responsive staff and good energy at the tables surrounding me.

Got carry out on a Saturday and it was okay we decided we would not go back. We ordered two pizzas and a Cesar salad. The menu says the dough is made fresh. I have eaten a lot of homemade pizza in my life and this did not taste fresh. Both pizzas looked exactly the same, preformed and no color. Flavor was ok but nothing to go back for. The salad was another story. I know Cesar dressing is made with anchovies but this was on a whole other level. It had such a fishy flavor we ended up throwing it in the trash. And the after taste was disgusting. read more

My wife and I went to Lost Lion this evening and both the food and service were excellent. The food was hot and well presented. The server Gabi is energetic and will surely rattle off many great specials. We will be headed back in the near future. read more
