The Loft @205, located above Vegar Bar, offers a cozy speakeasy atmosphere and is often regarded as a hidden gem. Its food is generally praised for being packed with flavor and having a unique touch. Standout dishes include chicken fried rice, short rib, and the meatball appetizer. However, there have been complaints about the drinks, with customers noting that they are poorly crafted and use cheap liquor, which doesn't match the expensive food and drinks.
The service at The Loft @205 has received mixed reviews. While the waitstaff is described as pleasant, there have been instances of inexperienced service, with waitresses lacking knowledge about the liquor selection or menu offerings. In addition, there have been concerns about cleanliness standards, with a busboy observed removing paper from straws without wearing gloves.
Despite these issues, The Loft @205 has potential for a memorable dining experience due to its atmospheric setting and flavorful food. To improve, the restaurant could address the issues of cold food, inexperienced service, and unhygienic practices. Additionally, it would benefit from paying closer attention to online reservations and ensuring that special occasions are acknowledged and celebrated.
