If your postcard is selected, you'll be able to choose the best date and table for your party when we speak with you.
Don’t worry about specifying desired dates or the number of people in your party on your card. 

  • Please do not send more than one postcard. Duplicate submissions will be disqualified.  Please do not send postcards on behalf of others.  If two members within your family/party receive a reservation this season, we kindly ask that you decline a second reservation.

  • Your postcard can be store bought or homemade. It can be as simple or as complex as you choose!  But please keep your card within standard postcard sizing.
 
  • Write clearly and legibly so we can read your contact information correctly!
   ​
HOW IT WORKS
​
On April 18th, we begin pulling postcards at random.
The first card pulled gets the first pick for date & table availability...and so on....
If your card is pulled, you will receive an immediate phone call from us, and we will help you find a date that works for you and your guests.
Postcards will be pulled Monday through Friday. This process typically takes over a month to book all tables for the season.

If your card isn't pulled during this window, there is still a chance you could hear from us.
In the event that we receive a cancelation during our season, we always draw a new card to fill the vacancy. 

Why Postcards?
​

In the summer of 2014, we opened The Lost Kitchen in Freedom, Maine.
​We quickly, and unexpectedly, got found. ​ And in an effort to slow things down, we didn't go online...we went old school.


We know the internet is a convenient tool, but it was never going to solve our reservation problems. The Lost Kitchen is small. That's part of its magic. And we want to keep it that way.
But when your card is pulled, you become our focus. We want you to be excited every step of the way. From the moment we first speak on the phone to the moment you walk across the bridge and into our dining room, we want you to feel like you're coming home.
​This is our greatest joy. 
​
​If your card isn't pulled, a piece of you is still with us. Every card we receive is saved and remains with us in Freedom.
​We love reading your stories, laughing at your jokes, and getting a tiny glimpse into your lives. It means the world to us.
So if you do find yourself here in Freedom for dinner, we promise to share the best we have to offer in a delicious and memorable meal by the mill pond. 

COVID 19 dining room update
​April 2022
​
Our space is small and intimate, and we work hard to create a safe environment for our staff and guests over a long and leisurely dinner that often lasts 4-5 hours.  
At this current time, all staff and guests must be fully vaccinated against COVID 19 in order to work or dine in our indoor dining room.
We reserve the right to change this policy at any time according to current CDC guidelines and trends of the virus.
