The Inglenook

If I could give zero stars I would. I was not able to go to this restaurant. I asked for a reservation and was told I could not make one, because I have a service dog. He started asking why I need a service dog and what are my specific disability are. Saying that he would not help, or accommodate… I asked for the manger he said he was one… Then said can I have a number for the owner he again said he was the owner. I told him he was breaking ADA rules he said he did not care. So I recommend no one go to this establishment

Love this restaurant. The atmosphere is romantic and quaint. Locally owned and the service is personal and friendly not to mention the food is amazing! This is an adult restaurant and our new favorite

Love this place! We come here often and it’s where we take our out-​of-​state family and friends when they come to visit. The food is chef-​prepared and never disappoints. We have our favorites… crab cakes, French onion soup, Lobster ravioli and Beef short ribs. Prices pretty much on par with chain restaurants but we get so much more… delicious chef-​prepared food, quite atmosphere that’s warm and inviting. Worth taking the time to write this review so others know about it.

We went here for a large friend gathering and it was ok. The food was mediocre for the price. The service was great. I would try it again, however, because everything deserves a second try. The décor was cute and it was dark and slightly romantic.

I thought this place would be delicious. The menu was certainly expensive. The gin and tonics were huge. Thank you for that! Everything else was a disaster. I kind of feel bad for them. The food is not working. The root vegetables were a combination of over cooked and under-​cooked with a clumpy sweet «dressing» all over it. I couldn’t eat it. The steak was just a steak-​not great quality, not great preparation. The décor and service were depressing. Just go somewhere else. We went here for a birthday and $ 135 later, our mistake is clear. The owner was also not pleasant when we simply tried to let him know. I think it maybe used to be good given the other reviews, and it’s just gone downhill. It’s too bad.

Mixed here because we went several times and had excellent food and service BUT last time we took 11 people for daughter’s graduation party and honestly 3 out of the 11 entrees were not eatable and the were mine, her dad’s and the graduate. Very disappointing because we talked her into going there. She wanted to go to foco. We wanted to support a local.

As a former food service professional and foodie from the east coast I often find myself disapointed with the local food sceene, not at all the case with The Inglnook. This is a real sleeper find ! The atmosphere is sophisticated and contemporary the service was spot on and most importantly the food and drink was amazing! The menu is imaginative and well executed and everything from begining to end was done perfectly. The pricing is also more than fair for a dining experience of this quality.

We returned to Inglenook and had a perfect evening. We started with a shrimp appetizer, then my husband had short ribs while I enjoyed the duck. Desserts were delicious, the service was impeccable, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening from start to finish. Inglenook remains our favorite neighborhood gem in Loveland.

Fate led us here on a busy Saturday night in Loveland, unwilling to wait for a restaurant on 4^th street. We didn’t even know the place existed. It’s a small, intimate bistro, reminiscent of Manhattan, not Loveland. The menu is nicely varied with pasta, steak, duck and fish. The French onion soup was above standard fare and the dinner salad larger than the price, with plenty of fresh greens and a crusty dinner roll. I had the clams and chorizo linguini which was light and delicately flavored, quite delightful. My husband had pecan encrusted salmon which was excellent. The bread pudding was warm and moist and perfectly spiced with cinnamon and rich with pecans. The prices were very reasonable. Our service was prompt and friendly. Definitely a place we will return to.

Inglenook is a gem in Downtown Loveland. The Slider Trio with the carmelized onions is unbelievable. On the appetizer menu, try the mussels and the grilled Ceaser salad. I was there a few weeks back and got the beef short ribs. The meat fell off the bone and it was absolutely delicious. They have a nice intimate setting and a great wine list.

We want to like the Inglenook, it is locally owned, is intimate and friendly without being pretentious, and Loveland needs an upscale restaurant and bar like Jay’s or Lubicks in Ft. Collins.
We’ve been in a few times since they added the bar and it is nice to have a drink while waiting on friends or to have dinner, great move to add the bar and it is nice. The problem is that a very nice server comes to make the drinks, and if it isn’t on the menu then she is pretty well lost.
With the upscale atmosphere they are trying to cultivate, and the popularity of speakeasies or any higher end eating establishment that serves hand crafted cocktails, having a mixologist on staff would be a wonderful thing. I know we could see coming for drinks and staying for dinner. Hopefully they will check out the Green Russell, Williams & Graham, or similar places in Denver to get the idea of what could be.
The food we’ve had has been good, but the menu is limited and it is fairly pricey, so for now this will be more of a special occasion place for us and not somewhere we might go on a regular basis.
We’re hoping they are successful, but management might be better served putting their money and efforts into hiring a mixologist to offer crafted cocktails not available elsewhere in town, plus expanding their menu.
We’ll be back and we’re hoping to hear the buzz of their cocktail and menu offerings soon!

Went here Saturday night. Place was hopping and we ended up with a nice table. The food was the best I’ve had in Loveland. Service was spot on. The chef must know what he/she’s doing because everything was exquisite. We’ll be back!

My boyfriend and I had dinner here Saturday night with another couple upon their suggestion. I ordered the salmon and it was delicious. Two others ordered the pork tenderloin and they enjoyed theirs as well. The atmosphere was relaxing and we could socialize without a lot of loud noise. We will definitely dine here again.

Discovered through Groupon — what a great find. A secret gem of Loveland. An intimate setting, good food and good service. We shall return.

Great Food and Service; what more can you ask for!
Recently visited for the first time and will definitely be back. Had French onion soup, side salad and beef short ribs with mashed potatoes and green beans. The ribs were amazing; fall off the bone tender and everything else was delicious too. The server was attentive but not overbearing.
A gem in Loveland that more people should definitely check out.

We recently attending an Italian wine tasting night at the Nook, featuring Francis Mays wines, the writer from Under the Tuscan Sun. A rep from a distributor described the wines and showed a short video on the winery featuring Francis Mays and how she established the famous house, and her love for wine. Rod, the owner, did a fabulous job selecting two whites, two reds, every wine was very, very solid and rare to have every wine a winner at these events. The Chardonnay was superb, crispy, buttery, not too dry and the cab was top notch.
Appetizers were high quality lamb meatballs in a basil cream sauce, amazing Italian olives, pasta with chicken, even the cheese platter was very tasty.
24 wine lovers attended this event, everyone raved about the food and wine, plus you could enjoy all you wanted-​not just one small glass per type of wine like other events.
The Inglenook also has a great happy hour with half priced glasses during the week, and their kobe slides are very amazing.
To top off a great night, we tried to get a cab home, forgot there are very few in Loveland, so Rod and his wife gave us a ride home out of their way. I am looking forward to going back for more happy hours and dinners!

Ambiance was nice, quiet. Service was very good. My seafood bisque portion was small and overpriced, containing 3 – 4 shrimp, a scallop, with tiny lobster bits floating in the sauce. My wife’s encrusted salmon was fairly sized, but also overpriced. Both entries did not include salad and the green vegetable side was scant. I found it incredulous that bread was not served with the meal as with most restaurants. For the money– it’s just o.k.

This review is long overdue (⁹⁄₁₂) but still needed to share that this was a lovely experience. Food was incredible and service was impeccable. We closed the place down.

After a whole 6 months of being married, my husband comes home from work and announces that we needed to celebrate with dinner out at a local restaurant. He brought me here to The Inglenook. It was a Tuesday night & there was one other couple there. What a lovely dinner.
Our waitress Tracy was fantastic. She knew when to check on us & knew when to leave us alone. She also answered any questions we had about the food. The food was fabulous! The grilled artichoke was an amazing appetizer. Tasty and smokey with amazing remoulade dipping sauce that made me want to lick the bowl clean. The onion soup & wedge salad were also mighty tasty.
For dinner I had the lamb chops & my husband had the elk. The taste was a vacation for our tastebuds! Both meals came with wonderful in-​season asparagus & boiled potatoes. I only wish that the sides had been more interesting & creative & not both the same. We can’t wait to go back!

Having heard good things about the ambiance and food at this little restaurant in downtown Loveland, my husband bought a Living Social coupon. We made dinner reservations for a Friday night and looked forward to a good eating experience.
Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted and seated promptly. The restaurant is in a narrow space, and the tables are really close together, but they’ve tried to make the most of the small, dark space with artificial plants and attractive lighting.
For starters, we ordered the olive tapenade and martinis ($ 21 for 2 martinis and the tapenade, which came with crackers), and the mussels appetizer. Both appetizers were really good, appearing freshly prepared and well seasoned. The martinis were also good. Service was reasonably fast and the waitress was friendly enough.
Then it came time to order our entrees. I went with the Halibut Special, which consisted of halibuts with grapes (which I assumed would be part of a sauce), asparagus, and risotto ($ 30). I also ordered the soup of the day, which was duck and wild rice (extra $ 3 for adding the soup of the day rather than just a side salad or French onion soup).
My husband ordered the Filet of Beef, which came with an «exotic mushroom port reduction» and the soup of the day (also $ 30 plus $ 3).
The duck and wild rice soup was marginal; the duck seemed a bit dry, and the soup was so underseasoned that I had to use the tiny decorative pepper shaker at our table to add some spice. It tasted like a soup someone had created from leftovers, rather than as a planned dish.
When the entrees arrived, they were worth of my taking a photo. My fish was burnt around the edges, covered in halved red and green grapes (not in a sauce, just thrown on top). Instead of asparagus on the side, I had overcooked green beans in a pool of butter. My risotto was decent, though the only flavors I could detect were an overwhelming mixture of garlic and butter (but it wasn’t offensive, just boring). The first bite I took of fish, I realized how overcooked and dry it was. I offered my husband the second bite, and he had *three* small bones in that mouthful. I asked the waitress why I had green beans instead of asparagus, and she went back to the kitchen to find out that they had run out of asparagus. She offered me a salad instead, which I declined, and I then showed her the bones throughout the fish, asking if this was a typical finding. She went back to the kitchen to tell them about it and then offered me a free dessert. I told her not only was the fish bony, but it was so overcooked and dry as to be inedible. She then asked if I «might» want to have my entrée comped, as if this were in question. Uh, yes, please. They did offer to cook me some salmon instead, but by then, I really didn’t want to wait for another entrée, and my appetite was ruined by the sad fish and greasy green beans. So I just let them comp my entrée.
Meanwhile, my husband’s filet was not rare, as he had requested, but medium-​rare to medium. The sauce was just ok. The mashed potatoes were completely unseasoned; he actually added butter to them to give them a little bit of taste. His green beans were also overcooked. He ate his without complaining to the waitress, though, not wanting to add to all the drama at our table.
The waitress convinced us to order dessert, though they were out of two of the options that sounded the best (a chocolate truffle and coffee dish and an apple compote). I went with my old stand-​by, crème brûlée, and it was all right. The edges of the sugar were black (burnt), and the crème was cold, but the flavors were good, if unexciting.
After all this, I’m just not sure if I’ll ever risk returning to this restaurant. If it had been just one mistake, that would have been fine, and understandable. But there were multiple mistakes, mistakes that would have gotten their chef kicked off any food competition TV show, without a doubt.
