Loft St Albans, Main Dining Room

We dined at this restaurant last night, and I was initially surprised to find that we were the only ones there, especially on a Thursday night. I was even more shocked considering how incredible the food was! Why it wasn’t busier is beyond me. Every plate my family was served was beautifully presented, fresh, and absolutely delicious, and the service was first-class. St Albans has a lot of great restaurants, but I’d go as far as to say this is one of the best. I believe the new owners have only had the restaurant for about six months, so I really hope the people of St Albans get behind it and show their support.

Fantastic food and service in a great location with a lovely atmosphere. Have previously only been the the loft for a cocktails and a work Christmas dinner about 5 years ago, I booked a table here at short notice via the convenient and simple WhatsApp service last night. On arrival we received a genuinely nice welcome and shown quickly to somewhere that we could relax with a couple of great cocktails whilst we decided what to order from the menu. We were given as much time as we needed and without any pressure to make our choices, which was much appreciated and something that really annoys me in many other restaurants. Our lovely Italian waitresses (never know if that is the right terminology these days, so apologies if I am wrong) was happily to go through the menu with us with recommendations etc. We both went with the lamb Souvlaki and Kleftiko. Both dishes were delicious, perfectly cooked, and more than generous portions. The best compliment I can give to be honest, is that food could not have been better if we’d been a top notch Taverner in Greece. Plus, as a lovely touch they most have overheard us talking about it being my partners birthday and we got complimentary: amazing Cheesecake for dessert. Thank you so much and I look forward to coming back again soon. 😀

This place is delicious!!! I've been there a few times and whatever I eat is delicious whether it's chicken wings, chicken rolls, shrimp, lamb etc., I don't like fries and these are just wonderfully different than all the others 🤩 And my favorites are spinach and feta cheese rolls in puff pastry and this tzatziki sauce 😋😋😋 It's just delicious there. The place is very atmospheric, calm and different than all the others. The service is top notch! Martina runs the service there at the highest level! I highly recommend it!!! The place is quite hidden and changed the owner and cuisine some time ago, but it's really worth trying because you will definitely come back there!!! I loved it 😍
