    Went here for the raw oysters and weren't disappointed. They had an array of oysters to choose from. My personal favorites were the Pink Moon and Matagorda Pearls. I didn't try anything else on their menu, but I would go back. The service and ambiance were impeccable, and we were seated outdoors, which we loved.

    We ate early so the noise level was low...also following Easter weekend, so quiet. The food presentation is wonderful, and very tasty. We enjoyed our dinner and will return, great value, beautiful interior, live music and exceptional service, what more could you ask!

    Horrible service. We are new in the city (4 days!) and live a few blocks away. I made reservations for my partner’s birthday and was under the impression the restaurant was fancy. Upon arrival I remarked, “Oh, this isn’t fancy.” My partner said she wanted to stay. We were seated and our server was a bit apprehensive, as was the runner with dreads. When the runner with dreads brought our oysters she mumbled, “You can figure out which is which based on the card.” Very terse. When entrees arrived, my Branzino was perfect. My partner’s lamb was overcooked. We informed Christina, the acting manager, who promised to rectify the manner. As Christina headed to the kitchen, she was stopped by our server. They talked OPENLY over the plate and then the server brought the plate back to our table. She leaned over with her braid nearly grazing the food and announced, “I am going to cut into this so you can see it is medium!” I was appalled. First, it was unsanitary. Second, my partner had cut into multiple lamp chops and it was overcooked. Why would my partner be scolded and made to PROVE it wasn’t medium? This has NEVER happened anywhere else. After confirming the lamb was grossly overcooked, the server angrily left with the meat and a new order was prepared. My partner asked the server why she was upset the entire evening. The reason: Because the HOSTESS told her to “beware” of us and she goes off “energy.” The hostess twisted everyone’s perception of us and negatively impacted our experience. The server also told us that there was a secondary chef who did not know how to prepare lamb. So why question us about the preparation? She mentioned that she disliked I responded “how the chef intends” when asked about mussels and olives in my dish. That my statement was “attitude.” The server said “there are people who come in here with no teeth and dirty clothes who order $1000 worth of food.” FOR THE RECORD:: I paid and tipped 22%. Very low level mentality place. Awful

    Server Ariana was very good. Redfish good. Didn’t like lemon vinaigrette on my side salad but that might just be my taste. My wife ordered tuna poke and Caesar salad. Poke good. Asked for Caesar light on dressing. Came too wet. Ariana immediately took it back and remade.

    Cold, briny oysters. A great variety and delicious mix. The Caesar salad and the hot crab dip was terrific.

    The Loch Bar was great. My husband and I separately his birthday and our 7th year anniversary there. Food was amazing. Would not recommend the oyster shooter. The oyster for the shooter was huge but the other selected oysters were amazing and nice size. Would definitely rate 9/10.

    Our server was Dijon, and let me say! For it being his second time on the floor, he definitely held his own! I went to Loch Bar at 7pm (2 others) to celebrate my 30th birthday, while pregnant! Dijon made sure that we were taken care of and got the food that best fit our tastes! There was also live music, and it just complemented the night so beautifully! The General manager came and also made sure that we were taken care of! To finish things off, Dijon brought out a birthday Creme Brulee, complementary Champagne, and Ginger Beer for me! It was definitely a nice touch!!!!! Thank you again Dijon for making my special day, memorable!!

    The burger: juicy, perfectly cooked, and top-tier. Calamari: Light, crispy, and not a hint of rubber. But the real star…Their ceviche. Fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor. An unexpected trifecta that's a must-try
