In the heart of Brooklyn yet tucked out of view, a chic nook for upscale dining awaits discovery. The Loft Steakhouse, right off 13th Avenue, opened in November 2009. The restaurant has been cultivating a following that is thrilled to find a local and trendy eatery in town. Its walls of glazed exposed brick and warm chestnut and russet colors create an inviting Old World ambience, while the metal-encased lanterns and a glass waterfall wall, set in Jerusalem stones, form a contemporary aesthetic decor.
