The space is really nice but really loud to the point that I was really having trouble hearing the person next to me speaking. The food and drinks were okay. The falafel sandwiches were sparce (3 small falafel with a little lettuce and tzaziki) but the Milanese was huge (2 large pieces of chicken). Our server was lovely and attentive and made the experience feel a bit better overall.

No way to comment on the food this visit (although it was good at prior visit) because the service was so bad. Walked in with reservation and was ignored by staff. Finally left and dined elsewhere.

We sat at the outdoor patio for dinner - great spot in the summer. We opted for several appetizers in lieu of entrees and every dish was excellent.

The food was delicious. There was a bit of a mixup with our entrees but all was corrected quickly. The Meze plate is FAN-tastic as was the fried pickles and peppers. I highly recommend both.

My team had a great experience on the patio at Locke Bar last night. We had a large party, and I can appreciate how challenging that is for the servers and staff, but our server Michaela (sp?) did an excellent job. We had a very fun happy hour, the drinks and mocktails are top notch, and our food was great. We really love having Locke Bar near our office.

Hard to really rate as the restaurant gave away our reservation. We were booked for 6pm and someone else came in just before 5pm and the restaurant checked us in. When we arrived at 6, was told that they didn’t have our reservation. Plenty of seating, but restaurant staff wanted us to wait another 15-20 minutes for another table to clear. They even sat an incomplete reservation of 8 instead of us. Manager had no idea they did anything wrong and didn’t know how to make it right. Because of this, we had to find somewhere else to go and then ended up missing the show we had tickets for.
