Visiting Albany from Nashville for a day, this downtown restaurant was a welcomed Saturday afternoon spot for a comfortable & enjoyable lunch. The suggested sandwich I had (turkey paninni with jam, arugula, feta cheese and other ingredients) was surprising and AMAZING! Can't remember the name, so ask about it. Super vibey, outdoor seating, close to the river, and wonderfully friendly service. Thumbs up 100%.

Very welcoming and friendly staff! The food is delicious, I had the 414 burger with mac salad, absolute banger! Tons of options for draft beer, as well as mixed drinks, I will be back again!

I wandered in the door while visiting Albany from out of town and I had a curry wrap that I enjoyed so much that I still tell people about it a year later. It really hit the spot! I'm visiting again this summer and one of the things I'm looking forward to is stopping by Loch and Quay for a bite and a beer.

Awesome place to eat. Everything I had tasted delicious. The service was great. Inside the restaurant looks really nice. I didn't have a single problem with the restaurant. The prices on the food are also very reasonable.

This review is in direct response to Julia Jenkins one star review. First I have an issue with people purposely trying to hurt a small local business when they have visited only once. I have been going to Loch and Quay since the week it opened and the ONE time I received an order not to my liking, I let the staff know and was comp’d. Did Ms. Jenkins let the staff know? Or did she bring her order home and let the cheese set??? I have ordered the pretzels multiple times and it never looks like that. To those people wanting TRUE reviews of establishments please research those reviewers and how many times they actually ate at the establishment. Btw Ms Jenkins, next time you receive pretzels that are too salty—do what I do—take your pointer finger and flick the salt off. Chef Bev is the best Loch has had and the food is great. One of my favs is the patty melt. I also LOVE the reuben, best in the area. She also creates great soups for both vegans and non vegans. Thx Loch this review is long overdue, the entire staff are friendly and helpful.

I went to this place because the bar next door said food will take 1.5 hr and I can confidently say their food is 👍👍Tbh, I was worried when i was ordering because the menu option was so simple and everyone was just drinking but the food is great. I wish there’s fries inside of potato chips. They didn’t tell me that we can replace the chips with salad. that would’ve been a better option. With a bit more of work on the menu, I think this place will be amazing. I recommend this place for a quick bite

Walked by an app recommendation! Place was somewhat packed as there was a venue event close by. The service was very good. Was greeted, seated and Sarah the bart tender took my order. She gave options on IPA’s. The food was delivered quick. To my surprise, the burger was flat, a bit on the dryer side with 0 condiments. Was bun, bacon, cheese and a pickle spear. Fries were not available so a bag of voodoo chips were in place. $15 for a high school cafeteria burger with no fries is a big much. No lettuce, onions or tomatoes to justify the price either. Place itself and Sarah’s service was good; but the quality of the food could use a revisit to get value back. I’m in Albany often for business. I will return just for the beer.

Loch & Quay has a throwback feel to it,it feels like one of those bars your parents went to when they were in college,the music and the look of the place is lovely.I ordered a Quesadilla and because I was there for a quick stop,I asked if the staff could make my order quickly,and despite them being rushed,my food tasted great!I loved the cold salsa on the side that complimented the warm,soft Quesadilla.The service was kind,punctual and professional.I would definitely recommend investing. P.S. I also left my favourite black jean jacket there so If anybody finds it,let me know👀

Great bar, friendly bartenders, great beer and great ambiance on the inside. The beer menu was showing up on a TV above the bar. Comfortable seats too, I suppose the food is nice here as well but I didn’t get a chance to try the food out. Looks really good on the inside, wish I could have stayed longer but I had just stopped by for a beer during a very short trip to Albany, New York.

Frank, No this review is not solely about the noise complaint. It is also based on multiple experiences ordering food over several months. On more than one occasion, the food was poor in quality and not worth the price, and the service did not justify the cost. Regarding the noise issue: this has not been a one-time incident. It has occurred consistently for over six months, nearly every month, which is why I do not have confidence that it has been resolved. A review reflects the customer’s full experience with the business, including food, service, and ongoing issues. This review accurately represents mine with Loch & Quay.

I placed a takeout order from this place a few days ago. I purchased 2 orders of the soft pretzel sticks. Each were $11 each. Total came up to about $24. The pretzels were cold and so was the cheese that came with it. The pretzels were drenched in salt and everything tasted old. Check out the photos and see how stiff the cheese is. Tossed this in the garbage. I will not be returning. This was around 1:00PM in the afternoon.
