    Didn't know what to expect but went because it is across the street from the Kimmel center where we had a concert. Food was excellent, creative, and different than other restaurants. Definitely going back

    Gianni was excellent this evening. He couldn’t have been more pleasant, proactive, energetic and witty! Every dining customer should have an experience with him. Couldn’t have asked for a better server or dining experience!

    Great food and music. Service was a tad slow for a Wednesday night with empty tables around us, but that wouldn't deter me from returning. Fried lobster, crab tater tots, and gumbo were delicious. I highly recommend those. Brussel sprouts were very good. Beet salad was okay. I ended up taking that home and adding some goat cheese crumbles to it. The beet salad needed something more for me to thoroughly enjoy it, but the beets themselves were very good. The cheese I added at home gave it the pop I needed. The key lime parfait was also okay. It was more like a key lime pudding overall, despite the graham cracker crust underneath, which had great flavor. I think of a parfait with more evenly distributed layers, but it was a huge amount of key lime pudding, a thin layer of graham cracker crust on the bottom and a nice dolop of whipped cream on top. It was okay, but just not my idea of a traditional parfait. Hopefully the service next time is a little quicker, but I will definitely return.

    SUBERB dining experience. The ambiance was great, the service was top notch and the most important thing was that the food was EXCELLENT 👍. Will be dining there in the future and will highly recommend it to everyone. I have two categories when I dine out. The first one is "One and Done". The second one is "I`ll Be Back". Loch Bar fits the second category undoubtedly. Keep up the Good Work, and the Great Food !!!

    Food was excellent. Seafood fresh and light. Carmel apple cheesecake was amazing. Drinks a bit overpriced. I got a specialty cocktail and tasted nothing like what was supose to be in the drink. Overall very good, would return again.

    If I could give 10 stars I would! Everything was amazing! David was friendly, informative, and attentive. Our party of 7 was sat in the back, private room which enhanced the experience 10-fold. The drinks were amazing! Highly recommend the Heart of Gold. Every dish was amazing, not a bite left on any plate! Our only disappointment is that we don't live closer!

    Beautiful space and great location, above average food but nothing I would call high end. The salad was amazing and server was wonderful. There was mistake with my order and when they realized that it was too late because they were out what had ordered the live Maine lobster. They were very kind to replace it with something else and recommended I call ahead to reserve one next time. My husband had the crab cakes which looked great. It just depends on what you order.
