    Enjoyed a wonderful lunch with friends at Loch Bar. From the friendly valet service, the hostess that read our note request for a booth away from the entrance, attentive service and excellent food. The environment is excellent as well. Highly recommend.

    Our wait or deserves a raise. I believe his name was Denzel. He was accommodating, and polite, and even filled the role of hostess without hesitation. Gave us 10/10 service. My guest will return (it was her first time) because of his service.

    Maybe I’m old but it was loud and your table is so close to the next table it’s like you’re dining with strangers. Food and service was great.

    We were surprised at how long it took our server to take our drink orders. We would have had several but we ran out of time. The food was fine (oysters were fabulous!!)

    Was recommended by a coworker, the place is in the Heart of River Oaks, first time there. The place is very nice, like the feel. Offered both happy hour and regular menu. I ordered chard oysters off the regular menu wife the happy hour, noting special. We ordered gumbo which was really good- I do recommend it. Had a couple drinks each (Happy Hour) Value for product was lacking, I expected to pay a little more because of location but food besides the cup of gumbo wasn’t with it. Better options to choice from
    Loch Bar-HoustonResponded on January 14, 2025
