The Loft Cafe & Social Lounge
Reviews
Went here tonight on a date expecting them to be open because their web site shows Sunday hours. Very disappointed to discover that they are actually closed on Sundays & they couldn't be bothered to correct their web site. Therefore, if I could, no stars for you.
I have always wanted to like the Loft. Been supporting downtown edmonds for the last 6 years but this place has always been hit or miss. Food is good but small bites for large dollars. Recently, I had to break up with the Loft and will no longer support them. The quick story is this; My friend was dining there and left her sunglasses (expensive, of course) on the table. Upon driving away she spoke to her server and the server told her that she had grabbed the glasses and put them somewhere safe in behind the bar. The next morning upon calling to see when the Loft opened the owners wife answered the phone and told my friend that the sunglasses were not there, were never there. Despite telling the wife that the server specifically said she grabbed them and put them behind the bar the wife insisted that they never had them and that the server must have been confused and will call my friend once she is on shift later the day. As time went by, a call from the Loft came in and it was a different person pretending to be the server from the prior day. Blatantly obvious what was happening here and I won't make any accusations but for this last reason my money will be spent elsewhere for here on out.
Watched a lady who appeared to be the owner treat a (my) server - who was doing an excellent job- so rudely and terrible that I will never go back. This lady who I later found out is named Paula and sounds like she's from another country is the rudest and nasiest "manager" i've ever seen. I feel sorry for her employees and can only imagine the sort of other things that happen there. I DO NOT recommend entering this establishment and over paying for a tiny plate of food and having to hear employess take such verbal abuse from their "boss".
Was completely impressed with the decor and atmosphere of the establishment. Service was impeccable and the food exceptional. Will definitely be a regular.
Expensive, but well worth it. Happy hour is great to go to. I absolutely love anything that I order here. It tends to be a little crammed during certain hours but if you don't mind this is the place to go. Again the amazing food...My husband and I like the *Grilled Octopus, Calamari Fritti, and Grilled Spicy Pancetta Prawns. Yum
