RESERVATIONS
​Requests for our 2023 season are now being accepted by mail
What to do...
SEND US A POSTCARD...

Due to high demand in years past, request for dinner reservations are made by mail using a postcard, luck-of-the-draw system. 
All you need is a postcard, a postage stamp and a little bit of luck.

What happens next?
​
April 1st - May 15th
We pull cards one by one at random for reservations...
If your card is pulled, you will receive a phone call from us, and we will help you find a date that works for you and your guests. 

If your card isn't pulled during this window, there is still a chance you could hear from us at some point later in the season. In the event that we have a cancellation, we go back to drawing cards 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. ​
