    I met a few for drinks and more friends came out than expected. The host was accommodating and added an additional few chairs and a table! The service was incredibly accommodating, and everything flowed seamlessly. The staff ensured our needs were met promptly, making it a stress-free experience. A special shout-out to Anna, who was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. Whether it’s for a quick lunch, happy hour or a relaxing dinner, Loch Bar does not disappoint. Highly recommend.

    Loch Bar is a fave for me. Cute ambiance and live music on Thursdays and Fridays. I got the salmon and it was perfectly cooked and the accompanying rice was delicious!

    My experience at Loch Bar was memorable for its outstanding food. We started with the fried lobster tail appetizer, which was exceptional. For the main course, I had the redfish paired with grits, which was delicious, and my sister enjoyed the branzino, which she also highly recommended. We ordered sides of Brussels sprouts, which were perfectly prepared, though the mashed potatoes fell a bit short of our expectations. Overall, the food was superb, and I would definitely return. The service, however, was mixed. Initially, several servers approached our table, creating some confusion about where our orders should be delivered, which detracted from the experience. I had hoped for more seamless service, but our final server, Danzel, was attentive and helpful, which improved the latter part of our meal.

    To whom it may concern, This restaurant is beautiful and has amazing food. I visited for the first time with my girlfriends who happen to be foodies. I'm sorry to say, the very very poor service including management walking the floor to ensure patrons were attended to made this experience extremely unpleasant. The restaurant was not busy. For a tab of $400 for a girls lunch, Loch could be a hit! Unfortunately, it will fail if this service and attention to detail continue. I definitely won't rush back as I normally would.
