A word from Lost Society - DC

Perched a top the intersection of 14th and U Streets, Lost Society offers food, drink, and a killer view from its roof deck. The kitchen, run by Executive Chef Joseph Evans, serves up dishes that do justice to the restaurant's qualification as a 'boutique steakhouse.' Steak selections, in addition… to other meat, fish, and vegetarian entrée options, render Lost Society an excellent destination for even the pickiest eaters. The bars (there are four) feature wine, beer, and cocktail options that complement a meal, a night on the town, or both. Continued

Diner Reviews

"Could not be happier with my dining experience at Lost Society. There seemed to be a bit of confusion when we checked in, but our server Emma - who was so elegant - took over and everything was perfect from there. My companion and I both ordered steaks, and both were terrific. The by-the-glass wine list was appealing and reasonably priced. The bar scene was vibrant and the music a bit loud - as you'd expect - but not at all obnoxious. It was crowded by we were very well taken care of. Highly recommend for a night out with great food, great atmosphere, and great service."

"Food was great and we got our drinks half off during happy hour."

"Actually the food and variety of food was outstanding. The service was initially slow, but became attentive once all the members of our group arrived. My only criticism is that they don't serve iced tea and the only diet beverage was a diet cola product. Not a very customer friendly policy for a 20% diabetic population in the U.S. In our party of eight, four of us are diabetic. Water only for us. Another note: the entrance is actually on U St NW. The entrance is unmarked; I was told it was destroyed by the recent storm. At this time the building entrance looks like a vacant wear house. The restaurant is on the second floor."

"Lost Society is a terrific local restaurant. Great location. A wonderful way to start your Friday or Saturday evening on U street. The menu is innovative, and the food delicious. Good value. A lot of energy. Cool."

"The overall experience was wonderful. Our server, Shay, was attentive without being overbearing. They had six specials that night and he recited all with great recall and enthusiasm. The beet salad was good enough that my boyfriend, who has a less adventurous palette, was won over on beets as well as the goat cheese creme fraiche. Both steaks were cooked and seasoned very well and the fried brussels sprouts were a very nice touch. The mashed potatoes lacked salt, in my opinion but still had a great texture and flavor. Wine was reasonably priced, and while I thought that $13 for a Manhattan was a little steep, it was the best I've had in a while."

"This was my first visit to Lost Society; had not heard of it before purchasing the Living Social deal. The ambiance and decor was nice; our server was very knowledgeable, patient, and attentive. We both had steaks - my rib eye was superb! Cooked perfectly! I had mac and cheese and a glass of merlot... one of the best meals I've had in a long time. All I could do was chew, sip, and close my eyes while I enjoyed my meal :) Even the dessert was yummy - most steakhouses don't get that right; the bread pudding was so good that I wished that we had ordered to so I didn't have to share. Will definitely be back."

"We really enjoyed the steaks and cocktails at this place. It's a bit pricey, but we had a LivingSocial deal that made it worth it. Definitely recommend if you can afford it!"

"Both food and drinks were great, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgable. The Manager, Marsha made us feel at home immediately and our waiter was energetic and attentive. We will definitely be back for sure!"

"This is a nice restaurant in a neighborhood where you would otherwise find thugs, riff raff, and even get mugged. The area is not quite so gentrified yet. I recommend driving there instead of public transportation. The staff are really friendly. The entrance is hard to find, it's on U street next to Subway but it isn't marked. Once inside, it's really loud, like a nightclub, but the food is delicious. Pretty chandeliers give it a romantic feeling."

"This is one of the best restaurants in the U St Corridor District. Everything from the tuna tartar appetizers to the filet minion was exceptional and priced well. One of the beauties of this place is that not only is the food consistently good but the restaurant staff a authentically engaged and professional."

"Great cocktails and steak. Service becomes sketchy when the crowds roll in."

"I wish I could eat here more often. While it's on the expensive side as restaurants go, the food is very good and the service is great. I don't always order an appetizer because each table gets a small (but always refilled) bowl of potato chips on which to nibble. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. I had the bistro steak and my husband had the shrimp and grits (because they were out of the red snapper. My steak was perfect and there were no complaints about the snapper. I didn't want dessert, but my husband ordered the bread pudding. I had a bite of his and instantly wanted my own. Yes, it was that good! Please give this place a try!!!"
Dined on 1/31/2014
"Steak was ok. For the price, I would go to a traditional steak house. Service a little slow. Table wobbled, interior dark and dreary. 20% tip added to bill for party of three. Better restaurants in area, I probably won't return."
Dined on 1/30/2014
"I've been here numerous times and service has been great, and food is usually good. However, this time the service was lacking. The waiter kept moving our stuff around on the table because we got a tiny table. Also, we always had to refill our own wine glasses; isn't that what he's there for? The food has been good other times, this time it was only fair. The mussels aren't good, and the steak was just okay. A bit disappointed."
Dined on 1/30/2014
"Decent quality steaks that over overshadowed by faultlessly genuine service and a superb cocktail and wine list. A perennial U-Street favorite of ours - well worth a visit!"

"My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by a trip to this establishment last Saturday! The hostess was friendly, we showed up a few minutes before our reservation and had a drink at the bar. When we were ready to be seated, they gave us a perfect spot, right in front of this giant window that overlooks the busy street below. it was so warm and cozy and our waiter was fantastic! He actually recommended one of the fresh fish specials and I took his word on it- good choice! My husband's steak was so tender you did not even need to cut into it with a knife! The brussel sprouts, everything, I can't rave about this place enough!"
Dined on 1/25/2014
"You can not go wrong when choosing to dine at Lost Society...at least I can't. I have been here on numerous occasions, with different groups (size, age, taste, etc.) and it has yet to disappoint. This is my go to spot and I most highly recommend an evening or two at this establishment. All of their food is delicious but you would be remiss if you did not have one of their signature steaks. You will not be disappointed."

"I was a expecting a little more from my first dinning experience on U Street. My date and I split the shrimp cocktail which was very good. Not your typical display of shrimp hanging over a chilled glass. The shrimp were cut in half and placed on a bed of cocktail sauce. She ordered the shrimp and grits which had a good presentation and taste. Since they are a steak house, I ordered the 10 oz filet medium rare. The filet was done perfectly but there wasn't anything special about the seasoning or presentation. For the price of $29, include one sauce vs. charging a $1. All sides are extra with this meal. I ordered the mashed potatoes. They were simply prepared with butter and no other seasoning, not quite what I expected when dining out."

"If this is the new hip bar, fine. But if the draw is for the restaurant, the last thing I’d expect as my first interaction was a surly doorman grunting "ID". While waiting for the rest of my party to show, another "host" says "We have a no hats policy" (not a backwards baseball hat, and it was freezing outside). A more classy way of handling this would have been to offer to take my coat and hat. Great cocktails, only interrupted by everyone erupting when Indy scored (good news, but totally killed the "no hats policy" image). Awesome food. Waiter knew his stuff and made a great effort to check in on us regularly. Return? Yes, once they figure out their shtick: upscale and classy or everyday bar and grill. Schizophrenia is a cruel disease."

"Another fantastic evening at Lost Society. The Brussels sprouts were amazing, the steaks were perfectly done and the service was quick and responsive. The only downside (for a place with two large bars) is that they don't have any draft beers. I know they concentrate on cocktails and then wine, but throw the beer guys a bone!"
Dined on 1/4/2014
"I brought a group of professional African-American women to Lost Society. My friends enjoyed the food for the most part. I had a steak that was just okay. We were extremely disappointed with the lounge upstairs and the DJ's inability to play music that was requested by us (hip-hop). Overall, Lost Society is a nice restaurant but their steaks could use more flavor and don't expect to hear hip-hop music on a Friday night."
Dined on 1/3/2014
"I had a great time. The steak and the crab-stuffed lobster are superb. Just make sure you order an appetizer with the lobster if you are very hungry. The portion is not large. Also the Mac and cheese is great."
Dined on 12/27/2013
"My first experience at Lost Society was quite good. 2nd time around was okay. Ambiance is nice, it's well decorated. My husband enjoyed his blackened catfish. I had the lobster tail stiffed with crab. The portion was generous but felt the seafood was drowned in heavy sauce. The sauce itself was good - rich but a small dribble would've worked better. Service was a little slow - our food server took awhile to take our order even though we'd been ready to order about 10-15 minutes. All in all a good experience but not great."

"We were going to see my son's band - Honor By August at the U Street Music Hall on Dec 15 and needed a nice place to eat nearby. A friend recommended Lost Society. They open at 5:30 - perfect. Nice bar and we love those truffle chips! Wedge and Caesar Salads excellent. I haven't had Salmon that good before - nice and crispy outside, really tender and moist inside. Others in my party loved their red snapper and filet also - cooked perfectly. Order sides to share - we had broccolini, Mac n Cheese and AuGratin Potaoes - yummmmy. Service was great and had a great dinner experience there!"

"Friendly fun place with great food. Hard to find the door but once inside and upstairs it's a very nice place. They have great steaks, and a good drinks menu. I'm surprised people don't talk about this place more!"

"It took forever to be greeted by the server to begin with but I think that wasn't a fault of her own. Service was attentive and food came out quickly. Food was great. Prices are high, but we used a voucher which helped make the occasion affordable. Not crazy about the loud, night-life atmosphere but it's easy to overlook the noise when youre busy enjoying the food."

"The roof deck can get a little "popped collar-y" but the steakhouse downstairs is excellent."

"We really enjoyed Lost Society. The food was delicious, and the portions large. The service was outstanding, and Emma was extremely attentive and prompt. Will definitely be back!"

"Lost Society was an excellent location to start our night out: lively atmosphere, very contemporary vibe, good wine. However, the food quality was inconsistent from one dish to the next. Steaks ordered medium were closer to medium well, the shrimp and pasta dish was acceptable. The wedge salad was beautifully presented but came drenched in bleu cheese dressing, which was great for me but no so great for those who don't love bleu cheese the way I do. The complementary housemade potato chips were excellent though and eagerly devoured by all. One dish came out extremely late and was comped along with shots for the table so the iffy service was at least acknowledged. I would return for the ambiance and in the hope of more consistent quality."

"I went with a small group for a work related celebration. The bistro filet, lobster, brussels sprouts and drinks were all excellent. The service was prompt and helpful."

"smilling faces, beautiful ambience, it instantly put me in the mood. Our waitress was excellent! I have recommended this venue to everyone!!"
Dined on 10/27/2013
"This place is not cheap . . . and the clientele used to match. The majority of the patrons were no longer classy, instead they were loud and obnoxious even going to the point of nearly fighting with one another over a stool. The TV's had reality TV on... not exactly the ambiance for a tab for 2 that hit $150. Overall the food was very good - the crab in the NY Strip Oscar was incredible and the sides were wonderful. Steak was just okay... maybe a little too salty. The sangria drink special was special... but overpriced. All in all, we had a nice evening, but they either need to change their prices or their clientele if they want to stay in business."

"This was our second time to Lost Society and the food was great just like the first time. Unfortunately we got a waitress named Emma that was less than pleased to be serving us. We sat and waited while the tables around us were served and watched her cover other tables and walk past ours. The other patrons seemed to enjoy themselves though. Just got unlucky I guess."
Dined on 9/28/2013
"The mac and cheese was really good and the steak was cooked perfectly. No kids, and its has a lot going on. It's a restaurant, a bar, a sports hangout, a neighborhood hangout. Just has something for everyone."
Dined on 10/11/2013
"Great Spot for a romantic date or catching up with girlfriends. The food is delicious. The vibe is energetic. The service is attentive without being overbearing."

"The atmosphere and service were top notch. The food -- just OK. You can get a decent $34 filet at Lost Society or a top shelf piece of meat at Prime Rib and the like for around $40. Spend the extra couple bucks."

"Went with some girlfriends for dinner. Food was fantastic. I have gluten and dairy allergies and the waiter was great. My meal was delicious and so were the drinks. Cool atmosphere without being too noisy or crowded. Would definitely return Only downside is parking. - a pain in that neighborhood and no valet."

"good food (buffet) for brunch and great music - crowd is mixed but def not many older than 30. that's about it..."
