    I went for happy hour prices were reasonable;however, the prices on the website and at the restaurant were different. I ordered both food and drinks during happy hour menu. The food was warm and the burger bun was burnt.

    Our service from curbside to the table was superb. The experience changed for the worse from the signature bread, to the cream crab soup, and entree of Salmon with quinoa. It was all unpalatable and returned for a basic Caesar salad. I would not recommend Loch Bar to my friends except for the cocktails and the excellent service and ambiance.

    Main complaint was that it was so dark we couldn’t even see our food/menu. Food was good, service was good. For the amount we spent I don’t feel I should of had to ask the serve to fox out wobbley table.

    I had the local oysters at happy hour. If you like oysters I would suggest having a different type. The gumbo was good. It was spicier than I expected. The scallops with mushrooms and sweet potatoes were the best scallop entree I’ve had. I’d go back just for that. For cocktails I had the secret garden, I did’t like it at all. Theres also a martini style cocktail, Mars something, it was good. Sweeter than I like. Overall, I’d go back and I do recommend.

    The staff was fairly inattentive. Something fell into my husband's drink and we requested if it could be replaced. They just tried to fish out the particulant and brought back the same glass with other floaters in it. He ordered a steak medium rare and it was brought out well done almost to the point of burnt. The drinks are overpriced and mediocre. It's not worth the price tag. I probably won't ever go back.

    Once again Loch Bar-Houston has not disappointed me. My wife and I visited this location for date night and now we’ve brought the family to celebrate her birthday. You have not lived until you’ve had their Lobster Roll, their brussels sprouts, seafood omelette, and of course fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. Their servers are STELLAR.

    One of our favorite late night dinner spots. We typically only come here for raw oysters (always fresh here) and drinks (old fashions are well balanced) but we also had dinner this time. I had the scallops (3 pieces) for my entree (appetizer sized if you’re a big eater it’s not enough) and they were perfectly cooked. My husband had the fish and chips which he loved.

    The fish & chips were light, crisp and wonderfully piping hot. The gravy on steak frite was the most flavorful, delicious au poivre sauce we have ever had. However, we ordered the steak medium-rare but it came out medium-well. We will be returning and looking forward to trying other menu items.

    I waited 20 minutes for a waiter or waitress. My guest and I got up and found another table and a new waitress. The next waitress was great we believe the first one was overbooked. The food was pretty good and the manager took care of one item on the bill. Overall a good experience.
