Loch Bar is an awesome surprise for us during our Loveuary Weekend in Philly 2026. Very busy and had to wait without Reservations but we sat at the bar and enjoyed tasty drinks. When we got our table, we were treated to attentive service and spectacular appetizers. Chicken and sausage gumbo was so flavorful. Grilled Oysters and raw Oysters were delicious and the fried calamari was awesome! The dessert star was the apple crisp cheesecake dessert. 5 Star casual surprise without the 5 star pretentious attitude.1

Loch Bar was an excellent choice for dinner! The food was outstanding, especially the fresh seafood — everything was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they take pride in the quality of their dishes.
The customer service and hospitality were just as impressive. Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making great recommendations and checking in at just the right times. From start to finish, we felt genuinely welcomed and well taken care of.
The dinner atmosphere was warm, upscale, and lively without feeling rushed. Loch Bar is a perfect spot for a great dinner experience, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

I tried out this spot based on reviews and it seems I hit the jackpot with that choice. Delicately flavored to extreme balance, tasty seafood boil. I mostly enjoyed the steak Diane, it was cooked to a nicely chewy and juicy texture like it was made just for my taste buds. This has become my favorite spot to get good seafood in town. I can’t recommend this place enough.

After a stop at a different place, we decided to check out Loch Bar given it’s good ratings and menu options. This was our first time going here ever, but it definitely won’t be the last. The great level and quality of service began before we sat down in the restaurant – there was staff member stationed at the door to greet us and open the door as we came in and out of the restaurant. The staff at the hostess stand erre friendly, welcoming us and wishing us a great night when we left after dinner. Since it was a Thursday and football was on, we sat at the bar. The decor was modern chic, with gold accents, bright mood lighting – definitely more of an elevated and sophisticated vibe and atmosphere.
The food and drinks were excellent. We split an order of the Crispy Calamari and Shrimp, my boyfriend ordered the Chicken and Sausage Gumbo while I went with the Cream of Crab soup. When ordering our soups, we expected the bowl to be smaller but were pleasantly surprised by the portion given. For me, I would probably get the cup next time instead of the bowl lol. All of our food was great! Tasty, served fresh and hot, great portions sizes. Our drinks were really good too! Our server/bartender did her thing making my lemon drop martini – I appreciate her asking if I had a preferred tequila.
Our first time here was very good and we definitely plan to come back as we love seafood. Look forward to trying a number of other items in the menu!

My Brother was in town for a short visit, so we decided to give Loch Bar a try.
When we walked in, we were greeted with a smile, by a gentleman holding the door for us and escorting us inside. The atmosphere was intimate, yet very inviting. The marble tables and counter tops at the bar were designed beautifully, at the bar you could see fresh seafood on beds of ice behind glass. The room was filled with a good energy. There was a live singer playing piano as well.
Our waitress was very kind and polite. She explained everything wonderfully. Some of the options we wanted to try were sold out by the time we arrived (reservation was at 10:15 Friday night), but in all the food we ordered was great.
For starters we tried the gumbo, crab tater tots, and the calamari. Although the calamari could have been a little more crispy, it was very good, we could taste the squid was fresh. The gumbo was good, but the star of appetizers for me was the house made tots! They were crispy on the outside with a smooth whipped potato filling, then topped with fresh crab meat and sat on a garlic aioli sauce. DELICIOUS… MUST TRY!
Considering it’s the New Year, I went for the Cobb salad with filet tips. The salad was made with an in house ranch dressing that was perfect, and all the toppings were fresh. It was delicious!
We ordered the Chilean Sea Bass, which was cooked perfectly! Hearty, but delicate in its own right. The flavors were on point.
My brother ordered the New York Strip Diane. His steak was cooked to his liking and the sauce and vegetable accompaniment paired lovely. We also ordered the Filet Mignon which was delicious as well. It was so good, my Sister in Law didn’t let me take a photo for my review .
I would definitely recommend trying, and I’d come back again! ☀️

The food was top-notch, and I am already looking forward to my next visit! I had the calamari, salmon, passion fruit lemon drop and dessert – all were delicious. A huge thank you to our incredible server, Rah-khim – he truly went above and beyond!

I enjoyed Happy Hour (M-F 3-6 pm) & dinner at Loch Bar before a show at the Kimmel Center. Conveniently located directly across the street. They offer a pleasant mix of reasonably priced cocktails and bites. The $2 oysters and the Yellowfin tuna poke were fresh and delicious. The bartenders were friendly, attentive, and helpful and stir up a perfect Old Fashioned. I thoroughly enjoyed the Miso-Roasted Chilean Sea Bass. My only wish is that the bar seats were a bit more comfortable, but that will not stop me from returning to try more items on their lovely menu. Thank you for a completely satisfying dining experience.

It was an overall nice dinner. Our waitress was very sweet and accommodating. The food was good for the most part. I had the lobster roll and the lobster was overcooked and chewy. My husband had the steak Diane which he enjoyed. The oysters were very good though, we had the Rockefeller and garlic oysters. It was also a nice touch that they gave me a free dessert for my birthday.

I had an amazing birthday dinner here for my party of 14. We had private dining and the restaurant service was phenomenal from beginning to end. The food was amazing we didn’t get a chance to take pictures of the amazing appetizers and all different entrees. We had the amazing seafood dip, the fried oysters which were amazing and the crab tater tots. Entrees we had filet mignon , crab cakes, salmon and branzino. The deserts were fabulous but we were honestly stuffed by time they came out. I enjoyed my tini bit older birthday and thank the loch bar for such a fabulous dinner party.
