About Lost Isle

Lost Isle is a restaurant on Johns Island known for its excellent food and pleasant atmosphere. While parking can be challenging due to the small lot, there is a lot across the street that can be used. This is a counter-service restaurant where drinks are ordered at the bar and food is ordered from a person near the open grill area. Seating is available, but only one large table, so visitors should plan accordingly.

The service is friendly and helpful, and food is served quickly. During the day, the ambiance is nice, and returning in the evening offers a different setting. Finding the ordering and seating areas may be confusing, so staff assistance is recommended. The food is fantastic, and the bartenders are attentive and friendly. While there are no waiters, customers walk to the bar to order drinks and to the ordering booth for food. On warm nights, sitting at the cooking station can be hot and smoky because of the wood grills. Overall, Lost Isle is a great option for Johns Island, but it's best to visit during less busy times due to parking issues. The menu offers delicious vegetarian options like whipped ricotta, eggplant dip, roasted cauliflower, and crunchy chickpeas, which appeal to various tastes. The clam dish is a highlight, and the friendly staff enhances the overall experience.

Recent reviews highlight the amazing service and delicious food, including steak and pork chop. The potatoes are especially praised, with some considering taking extras to go. The whipped ricotta and miso juicy drink are refreshing and flavorful. The open air grill produces magic, and the cocktails are great. As a walk-in only outdoor restaurant, it is weather-dependent and can get a little buggy at night, but the ambiance and atmosphere are highly appreciated. Visitors often find the food so flavorful that they eat quickly, and many love the concept and friendly staff. The restaurant is dog-friendly and well worth the wait, offering a truly memorable dining experience.
