Editorial Review for Loft 11 – by Wendy Weiden
The Scene
Less a restaurant than a pre-clubbing fuel stop, the dining room is just a handful of small tables and uncomfortably narrow banquettes ringing the second floor. During dinner service, the cavernous, industrial-chic space remains eerily empty despite a smattering of early-bird scene-seekers.
The Food
The menu of eclectically inspired small plates reads like a laundry list of faintly exotic, ever-so-fashionable ingredients. A tuna tartare duo is a pleasant riff on the ubiquitous version: A ying plate of hot-and-spicy, chili-sauced tuna is paired with a yang that's coolly mellowed by a coconut, mint and basil sauce. However, pan-seared scallops promise tangerine gastrique and chipotle puree, but miniscule dots of sauce aren't enough to make an impact. Lamb "lollipops," small chops with protruding bones carefully scraped clean as sticks, are tender and juicy, but without the promised mint chimichurri. Sake-braised pork ribs are sticky, sweet and appropriately messy, but without a hint of the aforementioned alcohol.

WOW. I wonder how much Loft 11 employees are being paid to write 15 of the same five star, ALL CAPITAL LETTER, fifteen exclamation point reviews for this disgusting/scary club. great crowd? sure, if you like the bridge and tunnel type. oh and if you like getting stabbed. that recently happened here. great service? sure, if you like waiting in line and paying a rediculous cover to get in to a practically empty place. Come on Loft 11 promoters, be a little less obvious with your fake reviews.
Pros: a staff that is really good at writing fake citysearch reviews
Cons: scary and gross crowd, rude door staff, stabbings (kind of a big one)

This club is gross and really really bad, the only reason why it has so many great reviews is becuase theyre just having the workers go on and talk about how AWESOME the clubs are. If the evidence of how close the reviews look to each other, with no cons at all, i know an employee who works for the club who does it. Its a terrible club for tourists. Avoid.
Pros: None
Cons: Expensive, Grody
