    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.

    Food was great, as always. Steak was cooked to order, fries were done well, salmon was moist and tasty, duck was delicious, and lobster was good. Beet salad was well composed and fresh. Side, when finally delivered, were excellent except for some weird sauce that was dolloped on in places. Chocolate cake was rich , but the blondie concoction was kind of feh. Service was distracted at best. Server forgot to bring drinks to the table- it took repeated asks to get ordered glasses of wine, the side dishes were forgotten, and after reading, were brought at the end of the meal - we were not charged for them, however. Requested ice cream was brought after repeated askings, and oddly, it wasn’t cold. It wasn’t melted but it wasn’t cold - like Rita’s custard! The restaurant was busy but not crazy. At a price point like Loch Bar’s, better service is really expected. It actually was a disappointment.

    had to send the old fashioned drink back twice. Sea bass was great a bit on the sweet side. Attentive service!

    Wayyyy too bright for an 8pm dinner reservation, felt like a diner. A bit overpriced for the food quality. Oysters were great, service fantastic, bartenders exemplary.
