    It’s been a while since I’ve been to the Loft. I have also never been there for dinner, but we thought we would check it out. The dinner was great, especially the dessert! We decided to do the Prix Fixe menu and it was worth it. You got to choose a started, main course, and then dessert! After dinner, we decided to continue to hang out since there were DJs setting up. One for the bottom floor and one for the top floor. Great music the whole night! The vibe was amazing!!!! However, the best thing about the Loft, they had an awesome bartender….Taylor! He is the best and made some really great drinks that were on their menu!!!!

    Our bartender, Raul, was very engaging and helpful. We decided to stay at the bar because we enjoyed his company so much. The drinks were well-balanced, and the house wine was actually really tasty. The food was fantastic! We all loved the dishes we ordered. I had the short ribs and it was perfect. We will definitely be back.

    The staff worked well together to handle us - it was clear they were understaffed. The food was fine.
