    The service was fantastic from drinks in the bar area to dinner on the mezzanine. Every server was 100% attentive and friendly even though it was a busy Saturday night. Thanks Ashley! We could not have had a better experience! High West Old Fashioned was a great cocktail recommendation from the bar, and the Porterhouse was perfect.

    I took clients to Loch Bar. The experience was amazing. Chef Quincy Logan went over the top. The food was amazing and having the chef come to the table to explain the food we were about to eat elevated the experience. The server staff was on point and very attentive. We will definitely be back!!

    Came here to celebrate my birthday and we absolutely loved it. On the expensive side but so worth it. We had the dynamite sushi roll and a special sushi roll of the night and they were probably one of the best we’ve eaten, very fresh and flavorful. The special 28oz tomahawk was perfectly charred and so juicy. And the lobster Mac tied it all together, so amazing and cheesy with a whole lobster on top. They gave us a free desert for my birthday, which we got the warm butter cake and all I can say is wow… such an amazing desert. And to top it all off, our server Allegra, was impeccable. So attentive, made great recommendations, and did not miss a beat. All staff were super nice and made my birthday celebration great.
