    My 3 guests liked their orders of burgers and crab cake and gumbo but I was disappointed served little teeny tiny little neck clams labeled otherwise. Also oyster po boy was nothing but 3 fried oysters on a too small stale hot dog bun with flavorless past fresh lettuce. I had to ask for another bun. Very disappointing Caesar salad was flavorless very very light green stems lettuce with equally flavorless salad dressing. Disappointing Mocktail was cucumbers in water

    My husband and I celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary at Loch Bar, making a reservation for 7:00 PM. Upon arrival, we were informed that we would need to wait for our table and were invited to the bar if we wanted to have a drink. We decided to order a couple of drinks, which was fine. The bartender asked for my husband's name to start the tab. After about an hour, our table was finally ready. As we made our way there, the bartender hurried over, seemingly worried that we were trying to skip out on the bill, which felt a bit embarrassing but we brushed it off. I inquired if we could simply add our bar tab to our table bill, but he responded curtly, shoving the tab into my husband’s hand. This left a sour impression, but we tried to make the best of the situation. We then had to wait another 10-12 minutes for them to clean the table, standing awkwardly in the meantime. I took a moment to reflect on the experience. As regular patrons of fine dining establishments, my husband and I have certain expectations regarding service, food quality, and ambiance. Unfortunately, I felt that the pricing did not align with the overall experience we received. It's unlikely that we will return.

    All was ok. Friday night and Valentine’s Day after Super Bowl parade so expectations were lower. Food and drinks were all good but everything else very average.

    What can I say? I made these reservations for the Eagles Super Bowl parade. We couldn’t even get to Broad Street because of the crowd, but an employee looked at my reservation, and let us in the back door. Service was spectacular and warm. Every employee looked glad to be there amongst the cheerful madness. Food was top notch. My table was as described. They put on a show & delivered.

    Enjoyed the ambiance, especially around the raw bar. Surprisingly, they had a great 2 course lunch prefix for only $25. Great selection of choices. Thoroughly enjoyed the tuna poke bowl and shrimp roll with a side of Brussels Sprouts. Service was very good! I'd definitely go back again!
