Description

Tucked in Laurel’s historic downtown, The Loft serves casual dining with five-star quality—generous portions of standout seafood, steaks, and inventive appetizers, backed by a strong cocktail and bourbon list and attentive bar service. Its old-world, quietly elegant atmosphere suits date nights, business dinners, and special occasions. Prices lean toward premium and weekend waits can be long, so reservations or early arrival are recommended.

The service was excellent and the food was outstanding—each bite just melts in your mouth. The atmosphere was pleasantly quiet, making for a nice dining experience. While it may be a bit pricey for the average person, it's definitely worth the money.

The atmosphere is fantastic and the food is delicious. Don't miss out on this place! It would be a shame to overlook such finer experiences in life.

Very long wait, not only for seats (it was a Friday night), but also for our food. The waitress even apologized for waiting for our food. The steak had a very good taste like the coffee encrusted burgers, the potato casrole was only potatoes with fabric added in... but they were delicious, mushrooms were also really good. Overall it was good, we probably go back when we are in this city.

Yes. Just yes! Fried asparagus is so fine for an appetizer. Katlyn at the bar makes the best blackberry martinis. Yea, the wait can be long. But I can give you the name of some restaurants that don’t have a wait, and you’ll quickly learn WHY!

This was our first experience at The Loft and we were not disappointed. My wife and I arrived shortly after it opened today (Friday) and there were just a few in line in front of us. We were seated within minutes and our server (Austin) arrived at our table within 60 seconds. The Creole Shrimp Pasta and the 14oz Ribeye were delicious. There was a mountain of shrimp on top of the pasta that was enough for 2 meals. Really enjoyed the ambience and the service. Will definitely be returning.
