    Giovanni, the waiter, provided an exceptional dining experience characterized by his remarkable attentiveness and skillful service. It was as though he had an intuitive understanding of our needs, anticipating requests before they were articulated. His efficiency in service delivery was noteworthy, and his professional demeanor established a respectful and welcoming atmosphere throughout our meal.

    They refused to serve the appetizer ahead of the main course. Tables were much too close to each other.

    We were late for our reservation because of traffic related to street closures because of the mummers parade. Arrived 20 minutes late and we were graciously seated. Always appreciate the service here.

    The food was delicious! We ordered fried oysters and different items from the appetizer portion of the menu. This was my first time dinning there, so I wanted to try different things. Everything was good!

    Loch Bar never disappoints! Chef Quincy outdid himself with the updated menu—the fried lobster tail was out of this world, and the salmon was cooked to perfection with flavors that blew us all away. A group of friends and I enjoyed every moment, with top-tier service from start to finish, making this dining experience truly unforgettable.

    We were very excited to try Loch Bar because of all of the reviews and word on the street. The food was average. If I were to indulge in a seafood experience I would go back to Oyster House, Pearl & Mary or Parc. The potatoes with caviar were average. The crab toast did not hold a candle to Pearl & Mary’s similar offering. We were underwhelmed and while the oysters were good, felt no need to order entrees. We did not want to continue to be disappointed.
