Loch Bar, a stylish, new restaurant across from the Kimmel Center, comes from Baltimore but has Philadelphians in the top management roles.
When Baltimore restaurateur Alex Smith was scouting locations, he remembered a trip that he took to Philadelphia a decade ago to see Estia, the upscale Greek seafood restaurant across from the Academy of Music. It inspired his own restaurant, Ouzo Bay, which opened in 2012 in Baltimore’s Harbor East.
Smith said he decided on Loch Bar for Philadelphia based on the performance of the location in Baltimore, which is at the Four Seasons Hotel. “We look at it as our all-day restaurant,” he said. “What we were really looking for was an amenity for the Avenue of the Arts and Arthaus, as well as a lot of the other high-end residential that’s around that area.”
He estimated average dinner price tags of $75 to $85 per person including alcohol, putting it squarely in line with many Center City destination restaurants.
