I met a few for drinks and more friends came out than expected. The host was accommodating and added an additional few chairs and a table! The service was incredibly accommodating, and everything flowed seamlessly. The staff ensured our needs were met promptly, making it a stress-free experience. A special shout-out to Anna, who was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. Whether it’s for a quick lunch, happy hour or a relaxing dinner, Loch Bar does not disappoint. Highly recommend.
