    Top notch meal and service. The oysters were chilled, fresh, and delicious. The crab salad, single crab cake with tator tots were shared and plenty for 2.

    We took a break from LochBar, (we used to go on a regular) because the food quality just wasn't what it once was. We decided to go back this week and it was a step change in the right direction! Food was excellent and the mussels were HOT and fresh! Will definitely add it back to the rotation.

    I read a review and the person loved everything but the calamari. Well, I think they were crazy. The calamari was excellent. My branzino was excellent. My wife liked, didn't love, the king crab. Denzel was an amazing server. Had great suggestions and was always checking in on us.

    The food was very good minus the calamari. Would recommend a visit. Even did a special birthday treat for my friend. Parking was not easy but we did not have to pay in the garage.

    We love Loch Bar. They have the BEST crab cakes. Full of lump crabmeat and no filler. The eastern shore fried chicken is super, regular or Nashville hot. The service is always exemplary. It’s a little quiet at lunch but I hear they have a pretty rockin late evening/night scene.
