    Sat at the bar for brunch. All the bartenders were very attentive and super nice. Especially Steven. Shout out Steven 💯. Food came out quick after ordering and was delicious. We ordered the eggs benny and the polenta. Both delicious. The only thing I will say is that I wish the eggs Benny had more sauce. But maybe a saucy Benedict is just my preference. I will be coming back for brunch 100%

    It’s been a while since I’ve been to the Loft. I have also never been there for dinner, but we thought we would check it out. The dinner was great, especially the dessert! We decided to do the Prix Fixe menu and it was worth it. You got to choose a started, main course, and then dessert! After dinner, we decided to continue to hang out since there were DJs setting up. One for the bottom floor and one for the top floor. Great music the whole night! The vibe was amazing!!!! However, the best thing about the Loft, they had an awesome bartender….Taylor! He is the best and made some really great drinks that were on their menu!!!!
