    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 my go-to spot for a well-crafted cocktail and top-quality ingredients. The service is consistently excellent, and the live music on weekends adds a vibrant touch. Perfect for a fun girls’ night out or a cozy date night.

    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.
