What a great place! The only negative thing I can say is that the table next to us was really, really loud (almost obnoxiously loud) but I can't complain--it's informal French -Mexican dining. Everything we had was 5-stars. The bread was light and airy, the mushroom dish was excellent, and the fish dish (I'm sorry I can't remember the name but the taste was nforgettable) was moist and tasty. Don't forget to try the shrimp ceviche and the uni dish. Wow, laulau as they say in Hawaii. Wish they had this place back home in the islands but it just means I'll have to come back to Old Pasadena again. What a great little town.
Yummy. We just celebrated my husbands birthday last night at Lost at Sea.....Best. Butterscotch Pot de Creme with house made cajeta. Ever...Also remarkable was the puff pastry peach tart a la mode. Small sparse menu full of really really fresh modestly portioned simple small plates served family style. We did not indulge but for those that do the menu has more beer and wine choices than entrees. Our server concocted perfectly sweetened and brewed ice tea for us. Plenty gluten free choices. Flank streak with salsa verde and frites for meat eaters. Lime and tomatillo marinated raw yellowtail was divine. Caesar salad just a simple spear of romaine dressed with silvery fresh slices of anchovy. Avocado salad. Oysters. Salmon. Snapper. All good.
Oysters were decadent... grilled octopus in mole was so flavorful great sweetness balance and the gnocchi was pretty amazing. The service was great!! Our server paired our drinks perfectly to our meals and likes. The chef with the dodger cap, must be an owner, was gracious enough to pick up our plates and thank us for joining them for dinner. That says alot about you and your establishment. Our first time and definitely not the last!!!
