This would have been a 5-star review but the lemon-pepper chicken which a little too seasoned (salty) for me but dipping them in both a ranch and blue cheese dressing with a few dollops of Tabasco sauce was a good recommendation.

We went to a house show until 5 a.m. the night before and woke up late. Our reso was at 1:30, but…read morewe called and pushed it to 2:30. The hostess said no problem. Great phone voice, by the way. We walked to the restaurant during the purported "heat dome" weekend. Fortunately, the air conditioning is pristine. We sat at the oyster bar and recommend you do so too. Our waiter was great. We should have caught his name but didn't. Either way, he was a real one. P spotted some absolute babe across the bar and asked our waiter what she was drinking. Important side note: attractive people dine here, but not in an intimidating way if you're a normie. Turns out it was a mocktail from the Zero Proof menu. We don't judge. Our waiter then turned us on to an OG move: order a mocktail and add booze. P got the Pink Drink and added vodka. J ordered a Bee's Knees and a Firing Squad. All above average. Anyway, we created an oyster flight and got two of each, working our way across the Eastern Seaboard. The house sauce was fantastic and incorporated some sort of onion and horseradish combination. We don't pretend to understand what that sorcery was, but keep doing it. Create your own GD oyster flight. You won't regret it. We also ordered some shrimp cocktail and shared the lobster roll sandwich. We forgot to take pics, but the generic photo attached is actually how it looks. Not a bad bite. This was the perfect amount of food for two hungover people who took IR Adderall before the walk. We lingered for a while and they don't push you out. Ended up ordering a couple IPAs. They started shucking oysters to prepare for the dinner crowd, which is neat to watch when you're on the spectrum like us. Also, the walls are covered in different oyster plates. We spent about 20 minutes discussing which one was our favorite. We landed on a green one. It's a real vibe lifter of a joint. Brought us back to life. 10/10.

One for each roll. I only needed one for all three. Note to self: always ask for butter on side. The shrimp roll was packed. Thankful because the baby shrimp were baby. The lobster roll was about 1 claws worth. It was the crab that shocked me. Overflowing with crab meat. Everything was fresh. The bread was soft and buttered. I didn't taste much 'seasoning' it was well 'flavored' and covered in oregano (?) I would return. It's a cute little spot that is in the basement of a building. I didn't go in, I know the area well.

Today was my third visit to Alpen Rose. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our first visit! Food was…read moregood, service was great and the ambiance was amazing. We celebrated my birthday there and I was a bit shocked when they didn't offer to comp a dessert, since most steakhouses usually do, but I didn't mind as it's not expected. Our second visit didn't live up to our first time experience. The steak we ordered was so raw that it was inedible. Luckily, we got 2 big entrees so we were able to enjoy one and take the steak to go and cook it a bit more to enjoy for dinner the day after. This third visit REALLY threw us off. First, we waited over 30 minutes to be seated. When we were finally seated, we were seated in what is likely the most uncomfortable seat in the restaurant. You would think if you just made someone wait 30 minutes past their reservation, you'd maybe give them the bigger table that's available to get them back in your good graces. I will say most of the food was very good. We ordered the crab and artichoke appetizer which was good but not great, and for dinner we ordered the duck which was cooked perfectly and the ribeye which was also cooked well. I had mentioned it was my birthday at the beginning of the meal. Since I didn't receive anything with my last birthday experience, I had no expectations of a comped dessert. That was until the young lady at the table next to us received a comped baked Alaska for her birthday. When it was my turn for the waiter to offer a dessert we were asked if we wanted to order anything. We said no and asked for the check. When they brought us the check, they finally remembered we had been delayed half an hour and that's when they offered a comped dessert. Why is it that someone else got a free dessert for their birthday and not me? If you're going to offer that to one you should offer to all. Other than that, the service overall was very lacking. We were checked in on 3 times during the night whereas the table next to us received constant check ins. Not sure what that was about since we had the same waiter. We were also seated and ordered before the table next to us and they received everything before us. Appetizer, dinner, dessert and check. Not sure why this happened but after tonight's disappointing experience and overall food inconsistency I have decided not to dine here anymore. More for tonight's service than anything else. Disappointing and overhyped.

Unfortunately, my most recent visit left me feeling disappointed and uncomfortable due to an interaction with a server named Cody. After our food arrived, Cody did not return to our table for quite some time. When he eventually checked on us, he explained that he had other tables inside. I simply asked for salt and pepper for my steak. Roughly 20 minutes later, he returned with pepper and steak sauce and asked if that was what I had requested. I politely explained that I had only asked for salt and pepper. By that point, I was no longer interested in eating the steak and told him it was fine. What surprised me was his response. Without any prompting, he said, "All those times I came and checked on y'all, that would have been the time to tell me about the steak." I was genuinely shocked by this comment. At no point had I been rude, disrespectful, or confrontational. I calmly explained that he had not returned to our table after the food was delivered, but he continued to insist that he had. Because of the way I was being spoken to, I asked to speak with a manager. While waiting, I tried to resolve the issue directly with Cody and explain why his comment was inappropriate. During that conversation, he apologized but also stated that another table he was serving had gotten on his nerves and that he essentially took that frustration out on me. He further explained that he thought I "looked frustrated" about my steak and therefore went into the interaction already on guard. The problem is that I had never blamed him for the steak, never raised my voice, and never treated him disrespectfully. He made assumptions about my attitude and responded to me based on those assumptions rather than the actual interaction we were having. I explained that in customer service, especially at an establishment with Loch Bar's reputation, employees represent the restaurant and shouldn't take frustrations from one table out on another. Unfortunately, the conversation became even more frustrating when he told me that he had already left us a dessert menu and that the situation was "over." Once again, I felt dismissed and spoken to disrespectfully. I asked for the manager a second time. When she came over, she listened to my concerns, handled the situation professionally, and was very courteous throughout the interaction. I'm sharing this review because I've always enjoyed dining here and have had many wonderful experiences with other servers. However, this encounter made me feel uncomfortable in a place where I've always felt welcome. One employee's behavior does not reflect the excellent service I've typically received at Loch Bar, but this experience was disappointing enough that I felt it needed to be brought to management's attention. I genuinely hope this feedback helps ensure that future guests don't have a similar experience.
