    Stopped here for lunch on our way to Ontario.  It was a bit of a detour from I-81, but well worth it, considering that the only other options closer to the interstate are your typical fast-food fare.  

    The sandwiches were very gourmet, offering ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, olive relish, garlic mayo, gouda, and chopped asparagus spears soaked in balsamic vinegar.  In a word, delicious.  Regrettably no one in our party substituted their side for the sweet potato fries (+$0.75), but the mac and cheese was tasty.

    That said, the wait between ordering our food and receiving it was over a half hour,  less than ideal for motorists looking to make check-in.

    Also, the famed Rigatoni Alla Vodka was a bit salty for our tastes (and we love a little extra salt), while the steak sandwich (name escapes me) was very much on the bland side.

    The decor was interesting to say the least but charming, and the prices were reasonable.  If you're in the neighborhood, I definitely recommend a meal at the Lost Dog Cafe.

    we stopped in for a late dinner--good choice!

    food was good--i had a veggie burger and the beau had the grass fed burger. both flavorful and satisfying. the sweet potato fries were quite delish, and the mac and cheese was pretty good, too! (it could've used a teeny bit more salt though.)

    since it was the weekend, it was packed and a bit loud. the lighting is a bit dimmer and the walls are red, adding to the shadowy feeling. overall, the ambiance was eclectic but lively. i'd like to try them out during the weekday to get a contrasting feel.

    our server was incredibly nice, and the food came out fairly quickly. whether you're looking for a space to hang out with friends or just to eat, the food won't fail you!

    This place is known for students at the University as a popular place to go to grab a bite. I came here with a group of friends for someone's birthday and overall it's an OK experience. The atmosphere is okay, and the people claim the restaurants vibe is similar to west village cafe junkies. In a way it's similar, but it definitely is way different from the cafes I've been to in the city. The service is okay, and like many others, it charges an 18% gratuity towards groups of 6 and more. The food is okay, but the prices are definitely pricey and not worth it for an upstate cafe compared to the city. Service is okay, but wouldn't come back again unless it's for a special event. I'm better off saving my money for something more authentic in the city.

    The Lost Dog is a favorite among locals, students and visitors alike.

    Seriously, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything negative about this place.

    Except for my mom. She thinks the decor is cheesy. I think it gives the place character.

    I don't really know how to explain the menu, because the restaurant really has a lot of variety in terms of cuisine. However, you will not be disappointed with anything, and I mean ANYTHING, that you order. If you order any of the "ethnic" type of dishes, you can be rest assured that you will still enjoy the taste, since the flavors aren't shockingly overwhelming and instead, are generally easy on the palette.

    I've been to this restaurant quite a number of times, and I've gotten something different every time. That being said, I always look forward to my meals here and don't think twice when someone suggests going there. This place is truly a gem and it never disappoints!

    TIP: Ask for the chef specials of the day, if they are not given to you when you order. The specials are usually a one day special, but they are ALWAYS a hit!

    Props to a co-worker of mine for recommending this place! I didn't even know it was there until he turned me onto it. I caught a late lunch with co-workers here and now have a new Binghamton favorite!

    The food is terrific! No one at the table had complaints. We all shared the Avocado Goat Cheese dip for an appetizer. Dude, I didn't even know that you can make Avocado Goat Cheese dip, LOL! Where was I? It was wonderful and kind of reminded me of guacamole, but much tastier. For my meal, I had the Chicken Muffalletta with Sweet Potato Fries. Perfection! The garlic mayo on the sandwich I think gives it that extra punch. I had the herbal iced tea which was really good and I didn't need to sweeten it in any way. It's great just as it comes out.

    The decor of the place is awesome. I love the big Chihuahua painting in the back, very adorable. I didn't get to work the bar, but from the patrons sitting there, they seemed to be enjoying everything. I look forward to my next Binghamton trip and will be back at Lost Dog asap!

    The first place I visit in Binghamton and it's a home run.

    The Lost Dog Cafe is an awesome place.  It's got a great layout and a fantastic bar staff.  The menu is improvisational, daring and their food execution is stellar.

    Sitting at the bar, I noticed day of the dead dolls, buddhas and glowing bulbs as the decorations.  I sipped The Lost Dog hoppy pale ale made by Southern Tier just for them.  Life was good.

    For dinner I had the Sag Paneer (that's how they spelled it).  It was not traditional but very tasty.  My mouth detected a lingering burn from spices used.  I would have liked more pieces of paneer and some naan but those are minor complaints.

    We ended up going back the next day for lunch (we were in town for a wedding)  This time I had their falafel sandwich (with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and tzatziki sauce on pita)  So delicious.  I went with the side of sweet potato fries which were the best I've ever had.  Someone in that kitchen sold their soul to make them that crispy.

    It's like this place was plucked from South Philadelphia and dropped in Binghamton.

    Oh, and I bought a t-shirt.  Yeah, I'm that guy.

    Before heading home after a trip to Finger Lakes, I had to drop by Binghamton and oh how the downtown changed!

    So we went here for lunch and it was overall okay. I had the steak sandwich which was okay and G had the Penne in vodka sauce which was good but not the best. The service was great but the food wasn't anything outstanding.

    I was disappointed with the coffee for it reminded me of Starbuck coffee and I am not a fan of it...couldn't even finish it. Which becomes a double disappointment - I read their story behind the Lost Dog cafe...

    The food at Lost Dog is always great, my only gripes are it's a little pricey and it kind of gives off a hipster vibe, and when I say that it's not awful, it's just a little bit of a downfall because its not the type of place I would take my parents, or really anyone over the age of thirty, simply because i think that they would feel out of place. As far as a place for me and my friends to go hang out for a casual meal it's great and I would definitely recommend it

    Driving through up-state New York this place was a big, positive surprise.
    Salads and lunch entrees were very good.   And dessert (flourless chocolate cake) was fantastic.  Highly recommended.

    I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!
    I've been here with my husband and found it was really nice place to sit and have a drink / date with him. It's light and airy and relaxed. It feels a lot like some places we used to go to in the city. I've also been with friends and had something to eat (the food is amazing), I especially like their artichoke dip. AND I've been in here just me and my 3 yr old son. The comfy chairs and tables around the windows were perfect for us to sit down at whilst he played with his toy cars and I enjoyed a quick drink and an unwind on the way home from a long day out.
    Great food, good beer & guiness, great atmosphere.
    I would definately recommend the lost dog.
    I've never been on a night when they have music there but friends of mine have been and have recommended that I should go with them next time so I'm thinking thats good too.

    Oh Lost Dog...I used to visit you when we were both totally naive young kids - back when you were in that garage on Main Street and I was still in high school.  We took our first steps towards sexual maturity together - you moved into that hip renovated space on Water Street and I turned 18.  We went through our mid 1990's/edgy/hipster phase together as you became a trendy hot spot and I went off to college - I visited as often as I could.  

    But now, how many years later, I have grown and matured and travelled and experienced and you...well...haven't.  You are still hanging out with the same people that you went to high school with, the same hairstyle, the same clothes...Oh, you've grown up a little, you are drinking age now with your full bar and happy hour specials.  You recognize class and from time to time have some great live music (truly - Ayana Del Valle's performances are not to be missed).  

    I'm sure I'll still see you from time to time - like when I'm in town and Antonio's is closed - but we won't have much to say to each other and I will leave feeling unsatisified, a little nostalgic and knowing that despite some fond memories I have moved on.

    Whenever my boyfriend and I are in Binghamton, we try to stop by here. We've never had a bad experience with the food and we get seated right away. I can't say much about the menu because it seems to be a bit different every time we go. This is not necessarily a bad thing because we have yet to be disappointed with our selections. They have a great drinks selection in my opinion--both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Sometimes they have live music, so if you're looking for a quiet atmosphere then this might not be the place during those nights. I'm still in my 20s so this place doesn't make me uncomfortable, but I can picture it being too hip for my taste in the future.

    Lost Dog is a kind of restaurant you'd find in the East Village in Manhattan or Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It's kind of a yuppie restaurant with a small but tasty menu. Their burgers and entrees are tasty. I had out of towners come visit me in Binghamton. One was raised in the South and the other was from Oregon. They each had different kinds of burgers but they both raved about it even after they left. It was a great choice and has a menu that fits palates from all across America.

    I have SUCH mixed feelings about this place - because my experiences have been so inconsistent.  I am torn between 2 and 4 stars because sometimes, their food is just perfect and better than you expect.  Their desserts are also very good (this has been consistent).

    But other times, they give you a COLD burger bun and call it ciabatta (and they stick by this, I tried to send it back).  There are little flies hanging around, and everything is just bleh. While other times, the food and the entire restaurant come alive.

    I do not find myself ever really craving their food or even desserts..

    Lost dog, you confuse me.

    Great place for lunch or dinner. Slacker bohemian vibe. I immediately feel like a hipster when I walk in the place. Great coffee and desserts and the Rigatoni ala Vodka is to die for. The menu is not incredibly diverse but they have many options that appeal to vegans and vegetarians, so it's an excellent place for those of that persuasion. Beer tap selection is mediocre but passable.

    Lost Dog is what I'd call a versatile place. You can go there for coffee, hang out at the bar and have a drink, go there for a nice dinner with a large group of friends, or have a really nice dinner with your significant other for a special occasion. Highly recommended.

    excellent food! i hold my food to a high standard (much to the disappointment of my roommate) and don't like to eat at a lot of places in binghamton, but the lost dog blew me away!

    the butter nut squash ravioli was fantastic, as was the curry and the amore!

    the service was great, a bit of a wait but completely worth it. the decoration is pretty awesome, and its the BEST place for a date, mood lighting and all. they have live music too! go when theres jazz though, not folk!

    On a college tour through Penn and stopped for dinner seeing the good reviews and I can certainly can see why! Delicious food! I had a chicken sandwich and my friends had two specials, scallops and a soup. They both loved them. The atmosphere is nice and service was wonderful. Food came out very fast!  I would strongly recommend saving room for desert. The "Good PMS ( perfect mexican Sunday)" was out of this world an so was the carrot cake.  If you are ever in the area check this little gem out! You will not be disappointed!

    The food is yummy, but the atmosphere is the reason why I love this place.  It's casual, but also stylish, in an old-fashioned, hippyish way.  They serve a good selection of beers and cocktails, and have live music sometimes.  Excellent for a date or an evening with friends.  Take your parents if they enjoyed the 1970s... they'll like the decor.

    An urbanites paradise in downtown Binghamton. Funky decor (interesting art, chinese lanterns, abstractly painted tables). Unique menu items (, Rasberry iced tea,  BBQ pulled chicken sandwhich - AWESOME!)

    This restaurant is emblematic of the type of place every downtown wants. The type that is rare in smaller urban areas, and that should be fully supported by the community.

    I've been there twice, for lunch and dinner. Both were amazing. Highly recommend the BBQ pulled pork sandwich. The chicken Muffullata wasa tasty, but doesn't hold a candle to anything coming out of New Orleans. Sweet potato fries are great. Glad to see Guiness on the drink menu.  

    Needless to say, I definitely plan on making Lost Dog Cafe a regular stop on the restaurant circuit. Check it out. You'll love it.

    -----------Update 9.22.07--------------------
    Been in Binghamton for nine months now. I can safely say that The Lost Dog Cafe is my favorite restaurant in the area. I wouldn't say that it has the best food in all of binghamton, but it has the best casual dining experience in my opinion.

    Lost Dog Cafe in Binghamton, please forgive me, my apologies for my long absence!

    I've been to the LDC in Ithaca several times in the last two years and I am not enamored with it.  

    Alas, I met a friend for dinner at the LDC in Bingo last night and rekindled my love with the Lost Dog!  

    I ordered the Cous Cous and Grilled Veggie salad with grilled chicken and the mango ginger vinaigrette.  It was a fantastic melding of fresh, earthy flavors.  As I sipped my after dinner coffee, I had a bite of my gal pal's carrot cake...gluten free, dairy free carrot cake heaven!  

    Lost Dog, we have reunited!  I can't believe I was away for so long!

    Oh Lost Dog how I love (and miss) you. While I went to BU, Lost Dog was my go-to restaurant for an amazing meal. Now that I live in Syracuse, I frequently find myself yearning for Lost Dog's cozy atmosphere and unbeatable food.

    The sun-dried tomato dip is always great and whenever I went, someone in the group had to get the rigatoni ala vodka (try it "old school" with cayenne).

    Maybe it's because I went to dinner here so much but Lost Dog just has an indescribable homeyness for me that I haven't found anywhere else. I think the world would be a better place if there were more restaurants like Lost Dog...

    I was greeted by the hostess with a frown on her face as she tried to seat me at the very end in a close to empty dining room (just opened) by a window with the sun gleaming in. I quickly noted that I wanted a seat which wasn't in the sun. The response was "no problem".

    So far, the hip atmosphere makes up for the LACK of friendliness.

    I ordered the chix brie sandwich w/ a side mac that was just put on the table... Very good.

    NICE place for the area & reasonably priced.

    Seems to be a good popular lunch place with the locals. I'm giving this place three stars based on service, food quality, and price..  four if they greeted me better.

    Lost Dog is amazing. There are ton of veggie options and their is a tremendous variety in their dishes. From Italian to Asian to Indian, it is all wonderful. The rigatoni alla vodka is to die for. Try it old schools style with some chili powder. They also have a wonderful tea selection. My only complaint is that it is a little pricey for dinner. Lunch is much more reasonable though. We always go here for special occasions.

    So I remember when Lost Dog first started out, next to the ghetto Giant at the corner of Murray and Main (I believe) -- I loved it!

    It has definitely lost a lot of that funk appeal and the prices have gone up considerably.

    Positives:  One of the best Guiness taps in the Southern Tier.  I recommend it to out of town guests staying downtown for the lunch menu and a drink after work.

    Negatives:  The last and only time I brought my wife here on an evening date, the waitress sat her obnoxiously loud college friends in the table next to us -- and although I'm not your typical whiner and I can put up with more than your usual B.S. calmly, between the profanity and the rudeness of their loud conversation -- we will never go back.  And, I told the waitress as much.

    I give 3 stars on a memory of a restaurant that once was much more simple and unassuming -- simply not having the "hip" appeal to the obnoxious college student.

    I just moved from Ithaca to Binghamton, and was entirely delighted that they had a Lost Dog cafe. The one in Ithaca closed down, and I was so sad when it did.

    Their food is outstanding. I don't like seafood, but their tuna sandwich is amazing. I don't like asparagus, but their herb crusted chicken sandwich is my favorite thing on the menu. Not only do they have good handy foods, but i highly recommend their pasta dishes. No matter what the meal, I usually leave with that warm, delicious happy feeling in my belly, and rosie cheeks if we get a bottle of wine. Beware of he desserts! They will make you want to try one of everything.

    As far as drinks go, they have a great selection of beers, liqueurs, and hot drinks for the nippy weather. They have good wine to go with your excellent meal too.

    Aside from the menu, the decor and atmosphere is colorful and energetic, but intimate. I've been there for several science cabarets and other group gatherings, and find it perfect for an entertaining educational experience. Everyone is usually friendly and responsive.

    I absolutely love Lost Dog, and highly endorse it to anyone who wants a cozy, energetic place to get a good sit-down meal with friends or special someone. A great place for date night that wont break the bank.

    Thank you Lost Dog. You're one of my very favorites

    Food is good, drinks/cocktails are great!

    Lost dog is kind of the place to go in downtown Binghamton. I recommend going here because its a fun little place, with very good drinks/cocktails.

    The food however varies from time. I have gone and it was great and other times I went and it was just ok.

    Go to Lost Dog Cafe if you are looking for fun and drinks, but be prepared that the food is not always great. Still the staff is very friendly and very thing is timely. Also, it is a much better choice than a bunch of the restaurants in the area.

    Lost Dog, Lost Dog, Lost Dog!

    I loved this place when I was in Binghamton, and so did all of my friends.  It was a hip, fun hangout, and the food was good and not overpriced at all.  My roommate was the only person I ever met who despised this place, and it wasn't for the ambiance - she just disliked the food.  But then again, my roommate was an extraordinarily picky eater.  She was a very wonderful person, but she subsisted on gnocchi, won tons  - fried, never boiled - and potato knishes during college, so maybe it wasn't any wonder that she didn't like Lost Dog very much.

    My college friends and I used any excuse we possibly could to come here. ("It's Friday/Saturday/raining/April in Binghamton?  Let's go to Lost Dog!")  N.B.: April in Binghamton is never to be confused with April in Paris.  April in Binghamton just means it's raining.  Again.

    I remember loving the rigatoni alla vodka at Lost Dog.  Lost Dog is the reason I became addicted to that stuff.  I'd never had it before I ordered it there. The salads were good, and many people I knew loved the vegetarian dishes.  They are a very vegetarian friendly joint, perhaps even more so since there are few vegetarian joints that grace the Binghamton dining scene.  The variety and quality of the dishes are quite good, and I always left full and impressed.  

    It's worth noting that the lunch menu differs from the dinner menu (at least it did when I was a patron), and is more soup-and-sandwich than actual entrees.  Also I was sad to read, via a previous reviewer, that Lost Dog has gotten rid of the couches.  The couches were great!  They added a fun ambiance to the restaurant and were a perfect spot to wait for your table when the restaurant was crowded, which it always was on the weekends.

    If I ever make it back upstate - Binghamton or Ithaca, because Lost Dog has an outpost high above Cayuga's waters - I'll swing by Lost Dog.  No trip to the Southern Tier is complete without a stop at Lost Dog.  There aren't that many quality dining options in this part of the state, and Lost Dog really delivers to those people looking for a warm, friendly, well-prepared meal.

    Errr... in my opinion, Lost Dog is more of a 2.5 star experience, but I rounded up because it is one of the nicer places in good ol' Bingo.

    The food is good, but nothing to really remember. The desserts I have had (tiramisu and some brownie thing) were sub-par. Service is mediocre. However, it has really nice ambiance for Binghamton.

    I revisited the Lost Dog this past weekend for dinner with my wife. It was the first time I had been there to eat in years. Man, did I enjoy it. We started with the Baked Brie and Apple Chutney appetizer. Very tasty. We then both had the Parmesan Sage Crusted  Chicken sandwich. The sandwich has grilled asparagus, sun dried tomatoes,  and smoked Gouda. I honestly could not believe how deliciously it was. I also try the Black and Tan. The make it using Yuengling   and Guinness and it was pretty good.

    I really enjoyed my visit there. The service was good and I really enjoy the atmosphere there. My only negative of the night was that the men's room was out of paper towels!

    I look forward to going back and trying some of their entrees.

    The first and third wednesday of each month they have a jazz jam where local musicians can play with the "Miles Ahead" jazz group.  The Lost Dog has other musical events as well.

    The food is pretty good too.  I've gotten the voodoo ahi chicken sandwich, which has a kick to it.  The size of the chicken breast was a little thin but this was made up in flavor.  With this meal I got a side salad, which had fresh romaine lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and onions.  I've also gotten the Israeli couscous salad.  This is one of the few places you could get a nice veggie hippie dish.  It was really good, and contained eggplant, zucchini, scallions on a bed of mesclun lettuce.  Yum.   I've gotten the raspberry lemonade which is sweet and wonderful.  The hot chocolate's good too,  very rich.  They have a fried cheesecake dessert which is good for obvious reasons.

    Vegan friendly!  Almost everything on the menu can be converted....I had a couscous salad with portabella mushrooms, amazing!  Even on a Wednesday at 3pm the place is hoppin'!  
    Only con I have is the service - a little slow, but worth the waiting!

    Very chic looking restaurant, with an interesting and wide ranging menu.  The food is good, but not great.  The staff friendly, but slow.

    It seems to get crowded on the weekend with young hipsters.  A fun place to grab a drink or a bite.

    My favorite hang out place when there was nothing to do at night in college town Binghamton.  I love the coffee/lounge/dessert/dinner atmosphere.  Binghamton definitely lacks a hangout place like this one.  

    I had good memories here!

    Good food.  The atmosphere is unique and different compared to all other restaurants in the area.  They are always keeping up the decor with the time of year.  Wait staff is friendly.  Service can be slow during lunch or dinner prime times.  The always have really good specials and the types of food are unique for the area.

    If you are female, just go here and be sex in the city.

    The food is all good, prices are moderate, atmosphere is airy.

    I just really can't stomach being in there. It was created by 3 artistic females, and it's not hard to tell.

    No hard feelings. We just can't be seen together from this point on.
