Chef Tre Wilcox took over Loft 610’s kitchen at the end of September, 2009, just as his television fame (Top Chef and Iron Chef) was beginning to wane. His arrival brought a new level of sophistication to the lounge/restaurant—soft smoke easing through a beautifully crafted tuna and cucumber roll, pork belly braised just to the point where it begins to caramelize—and he hopes to turn it into a destination, which seems likely. Clearly, Wilcox has lost none of the skill he developed while working with Kent Rathbun at Abacus.
unless you want hookers or escorts and are willin to pay or else none of the girls are normal.

Overall:
On Saturday night (6/27/09), my friend and I attempted to enter the establishment. To our surprise the doorman (Kenneth?) would not allow us to enter. We were told that my friend's jeans were too baggy. Keep in mind he had on a dress shirt and hard bottom shoes. Others before and after us had on attire that would not classify as casual (shorts, sandals, and even similar jeans). We noticed that most of the people that were turned away that night, including ourselves, were not Caucasian. The doorman could not explain the dress policy and would not allow us to talk to the manager to express our concerns. I admit that conversation got intense after expressing our viewpoint. However, it was obvious that Loft 610 screens their patrons based on the color of their skin. People of color are allowed to enter, but on a limited basis. We thought maybe we were over reacting, but after talking on the phone with the manager (Chad??) it was clear that Loft 610 does not have the best interest of all patrons. Lessons learned is to spend your money in places that are inclusive to all professionals! Loft 610 does not fall into that category!!!!!

Overall:
We were with a group of friends in their 40's on a Friday night when STAFF CALLED PLANO POLICE on a female friend with our group and had her arrested for drunk in public even though they continued to serve her alcohol on her open tab in the bar. Staff told female friend they were sending her home in a cab, but had her arrested once she stepped outside the door. We would have taken her home if we knew there was an issue, but we were not given the chance. Futhermore the food is over-rated and served luke-warm, plus DJ will not play requests.
