I worked there, trust me I have no job now, the place is gone for good. While I'm not surprised it didn't make it, a little notice to their staff of 30+ employees who are all suddenly unemployed would have been appreciated.

Also we didn't have a dishwasher named Arden. And do you really think that if the owners were posting fake reviews (and of course they were) that they would tell a fucking dishwasher? I don't think that management even knew the dishwashers names, hell Dale Wamsted only ever called me Honey and had equally sexist and ridiculous nicknames and rules (don't wear your glasses to work, you sparkle more without them) for the rest of the servers. And we speak English!

This place finally closed up after barely being open 6 weeks. The food was rank and amatuerish. The only thing this place had going was great cocktails and a great waitstaff.
RIP

Dining Experience

We went to The Lost Lady before going to the ACT theater and we were pleasently pleased with our experience. The Steak Fajitias were the best I have ever had. Before leaving we were given complimentary desserts. . .the carrot cake was to die for!! I highly recommend you all try it!

Gotta agree with da bullwolf

Like dipping your nuts in ice water, it was a real shock to go to the Lost Lady after frequenting the USG. Classy to classless. I think bullwolf and others are reacting to the utter lack of effort in the Lost Lady's menu, decor, and service. I too feel that the new owner is trying to make a buck with zero effort and zero originality. I sincerely hope they can make it, but I doubt it.

Good Food

I found that the menu was pretty limited but was impressed with my meal - the chicken fajita. Although priced a little high, I will be back to try a steak dinner.

You seem so intent on trasing the Lost Lady that I find myself entrigued to go there. Thanks.

My fiancee's son is actually a dishwasher at the Lost Lady and when we went to eat there I had a great time. I am by no means being "compensated" by anyone to say so. I can only assume your nephew is the other disherwasher there. That would be Arden. I wish him the best of luck. Sounds like he is unhappy with his job.

Blew Tiger Butter all over the bowl after my visit. UGH!

Hey Victoria, you probably mean "striped the bowl," not "cleaned the bowl." In any event, "Msluna" and "Victoria" are reviewers compensated by the owner. My nephew knows the dishwasher at the Lost Lady who told him so. This place sucks. Stay away!

Damn Good!

I ate at the Lost Lady with my fiancée and had a great time! Food was awesome, drinks were poured perfectly and the staff were all so welcoming! We were given a Queso cheese dip with chips to start which was wonderful! Call it “Velveeta Dip” if you want Mr. Bullwolf but we cleaned the bowl! I ordered the Beef Tenderloin and it was one of those steaks that didn’t require a steak knife to cut into. In other words. . . AWSOME! I also ordered a Berry Bomb Margarita (I think that is what it was called) and it was a drink I will be ordering more often! Very yummy! My fiancée ordered the Salmon special which he said was very fresh and cooked perfectly! We will defiantly be back . . . with our friends.

Love it!

I had the most fantastic steak, the wine list is amazing and the tequilla selection is unreal. This place is sure to catch on

I miss USG!

Lost Lady will not make it longer than a couple of months unless they make some serious changes. The menu is terribly small. The food is mediocre. The sole highlight is that the service is good. This location caters to a business crowd, and I for one, will never take a client to this restaurant. It would be embarrassing.

Woefully pathetic

Velveeta dip with a skin-like layer over it that "frowns" when you scoop it. Same USG decor except with dirty side dishes. May work in Spokane, not sure how they got in the door here. USG is missed.
