Several people told me this is the best place in Laurel currently... my experience however wasn't so good. My mom was really not happy with her crab cake pasta and for the price she was really upset she only got one crab cake. I opted for a simple burger hoping that could be a decent meal but it really wasn't all that good of a burger to be honest... I have eaten a LOT of burgers and I would certainly rank this one towards the lower percentile of those I've eaten. It was also quite disappointing that they only had tiny little sauce packets for the condiments. The space is really nice while the service could definitely be a LOT better and good luck getting a refill in a timely manner. I really hope The Loft is just experiencing initial opening issues and will get better consistency and quality going on. The one high point of the meal here was the salad which was the best thing we had. The bones certainly seem to be present for this place to be successful but they really need to step up the food and service for the prices they charge. I will make a return visit in several months and see how things are going and I really really hope I'm able to have a great experience on my next visit. read more
