    The food quality was ordinary. The presentation was far below standards. Food delivered to table in stacked plates hastily arranged. Appetizers were tepid. Took 20 minutes to deliver first drinks and over an hour to bring dinner. It was not too crowded on a Monday night. From seated to check was 90 minutes because we had to leave for a show. No time for dessert. At these prices we expected much more. Calamari appetizer may have been heated from Trader Joe’s. There are much better restaurants in Philadephia at a fraction of the price.

    First visit to Loch Bar. The drinks service was incredibly slow. The martini I ordered was room temperature, not chilled, possible because it took so long to get to the table. The shrimp appetizer should have at least one more shrimp for the price. The blackened swordfish was good. The Black Sea bass was better. Coffee was delivered at room temperature. Disappointed that cappuccino was not available. Dessert choices were very limited.

    Me & My Sister went for a girls date and it was a nice experience. Our waitress was consistent and sweet. Drinks 7/10 I had 2 and just didn’t get a buzz. Food 9/10. Fries great, crab dip so good, fresh oysters omg I’m now a fan, mussels was ok they was so tiny, Mac was sooo good and the Brussel sprouts outstanding. Steak was overcooked but alright. And my fried chicken was alright.
