I had grilled prawns on the skewers, no rice, extra veggies. They were very accommodating with my meal request. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. I got there earlier than my reservation time and was seated right away. The Loft has a cozy, intimate feel even for it's industrial style. I'd definitely eat here again. Great to grab a cocktail at the massive bar upstairs.

We went to Loft last night for the first time since April 2025 and honestly we were shocked at how much better the whole vibe was. The staff were way more friendly and actually paying attention, and my friends and I all noticed it as soon as we walked in. Also, huge shoutout to one of the bouncers, Logan. I slipped coming down the stairs in my heels and was literally about to faceplant, and he caught me so fast. I wasn’t expecting a bouncer to be that sweet… or that cute,...

I am rating this bar a 5 simply because of the amazing service we received from Rinada. She was kind and helpful and made the BEST lemon drop I had in my life!!! Honorable mention is Robin with the stache and lushes locks, come for the lemon drops and lushes locks 🫶🏼
