The menu at LOFT is all about affordable comfort food in a casual environment. It is a place for an intimate dinner for two, a family gathering or a big group or party.

LOFT B&B is among 27 restaurants participating in "Dine Downtown San Jose." Their $30 pre-fixe menu offers a good sample of the offerings diners can enjoy here.

Enjoy our tasty talk and the mouth-watering Grilled Shrimp recipe to try at home.
