    We enjoyed Loch Bar. The food was good. The calamari/shrimp appetizer was very good but small. Could have been more of each item.

    the service was the slowest I’ve ever experienced… something felt like it was wrong at the hostess station, I had to keep reminding her we were waiting for a table, and finally one of the times she said we had a table. The service at the table wasn’t much better - our drinks were delivered by a very pleasant staff member, but the food came cold and we had to ask twice for silverware. It’s bizarre - this place has such potential; it’s a very nice establishment. It just doesn’t quite meet any sort of standard.

    Delicious anniversary dinner! My husband had several different clams and loved each more than the next. We had the sea bass, branzino, mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and Mac and cheese. The branzino and potatoes were stand outs of all the amazing food. For dessert we had the key lime parfait. My husband loved it and I thought it was ok. The lime curd was the same color as the vanilla lime pudding but a different texture and the jar it is served in makes it difficult to get all the layers. Next time we’ll get the cheesecake but I wouldn’t change anything else. Terrific service and ambiance.
