    Went here before a show at the Academy of Arts. Sat down and was immediately greeted by our waiter, who was simply exceptional. Food was great and service was perfect. A little loud, but our table definitely was part of the increased volume in the room! All in all, an excellent and very memorable evening, and I am glad we started out at Loch Bar!

    Went for a pre-theater dinner. Oysters very fresh even though the month of June does not have an “r”. Caviar was delicate and well brined, not too salty. Iberico ribs were fall off the bone tender, poke was very fresh and refreshing on a hot summer day, two cocktails Crossfire and Ring of Fire were both well blended and creative. Service friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and attentive. Great experience!

    Convenient location across from Kimmel Center & close to other theaters. Modern elegant design with friendly professional staff. Only complaint--$18 for a small amount of wine is a rip-off but this occurs in many other restaurants as well

    Brought my parent here for Father's Day. My Dad was very happy with the oyters, but the rest of our appetizers and entrees were just ok and the meal was very expensive! Vibes wer kinda hectic becassue we were seated near the front. Maybe it would have been better if we were seated away from kitchen and hostess station. Oh well.
