I truly enjoyed my experience at Loch Bar. I wasnt too sure at first because it was kinda loud due to guests watching the Football game at the bar, plus their was a live singer, who I must say was sooo good. He had a great voice, and his choice of songs to sing were on point. The food was delicious. My apps were shrimp cocktail, mussels, and Crab and Artichoke dip, and my entree’ was a outstanding Bronzino. I will definitely be returning.

Loved the live music. Though maybe it was hard for servers to hear as they took away the oysters before we were done. The crab soup was amazing. The steak for the price should have been cooked evenly. It was mostly rare with 20% medium rare. I know how hard it is to cook steak, but I expect a place at that level to get it even and just right. The seating was tight with very uncomfortable chairs on the outside and I heard this from other patrons as well.

The skill and mastery demonstrated by bar tenders and the people who work in the kitchen is extraordinary. Perfectly shucked oysters. Not just this time, but every time. The food is marvelous. The drinks are fantastic. Perfection of ambience. We make this our stop before every concert we attend at Kimmel. One thing, though. The hostess is typically aloof and uncooperative. We’ve noticed this each time we go. Our family member has a hip problem and they continually attempt to seat us at the tightest little table that you need a shoe horn to squeeze into. This despite availability of more spacious seating. Except for the hostess, the experience at Loch Bar is superb.
