Reviews for Door 222 food & drink in Loveland, CO
Beautifully curated space with yummy food and good service. Mariah took great care of us.
The kitchen takes pride in what they make and it shows. While the menu items are typical, it's carefully prepared. The portions... aren't huge, but it means you can have three courses and enjoy them all. I love the patio, inside can get loud when they'rebusy. I appreciate that all the entrees except the pasta are gluten free. Door 222 is a favorite for "I definitely want a drinkwith dinner and to enjoy a calm night out." My parents both enjoy it, as well as my friends. Read more
We went here since our 'go to' place was full. I was pleasantly surprised. Good atmosphere and service. Cocktails were good, but... you want to make sure it is going to be something you like, as some will be real bitter, smokey, ... We started with theburrata. It was good, and a nice plate to share. Could have used a little more balsamic. My wife had the margherita pizza, whichshe enjoyed. Mind you, there will be plenty of cheese on the pizza. I personally had the fish and chips which was made with rubyred trout, which was a first for me. I enjoyed it. The trout wasn't fishy at all and it was nice and crispy. Fish tasted alittle dry and not too flaky. Not sure if that is because it is trout, but I think I prefer cod next time. We ended with a cremebrulee, which was up to standard. I would give 5stars, however I felt it was overpriced for what it was. We spend $50pp Read more
We waited to try Door 222 and we had a date night on a weekday. 10 minutes to see a waitress and almost left, wish we had. First... we ordered mussels.. They tasted off right away.. sure enough we had 3 mussels in the appetizer that were horribly spoiled.Making it all taste like rotten shellfish and literally spit it out and we didn't eat it. The beef short rib was a "regularfavorite". It was a little poor chunk of beef roast that tasted like boiled stew meat. It was tasteless and no salt/pepper onthe table, the mash was subpar, asparagus tasted like the ocean it was so salty. The fried fish was good.. the 2lbs of smallrock hard spuds with it we're unimpressive. Basically out of $100 meal (we tipped well) we only split the fish between us. Thewaitress asked if we wanted a box and if everything was alright, when we said ughh not really she just said ok and brought thebill. We paid, left and had to go buy edible food. Not sure if this is how Door 222 is but it was extremely disappointing! I'vewasted $100 before but this was bad. Read more
I visited this weekend (Saturday night) noted to make a reservation as we did not and sat at the bar. We ordered soup to start-... which never came. I made the bartender aware of my severe dairy allergy ahead of time, and was told they could make the linguinewithout dairy for me. Was served, ate not quite half of my pasta when another server came up to me with a second plateexplaining they had made the first one with butter. Disappointing- even while I understand this is the risk I take when I eatout. However- please don’t reassure your customers you can do something if it’s not guaranteed to be done. They did take itoff the bill and let me take home the dairy free one that was made after the fact; I am only posting this review to warn othersas I have now been VERY sick the rest of the night and morning after this. Your cooks need to take allergen alerts moreseriously— this is not acceptable. Read more

Found the cozy place on my way back from Estes Park and was mostly pleased. We sat outside and enjoyed the tail end of summer... with wine, beer, appetizers, and later the main course. The beer and wine options were plentiful and pretty good. Theappetizers were awesome. We got the parm fries and they were nice and crispy and weren't overly oily. We got the NY stripsteak special and the pork shoulder sandwich with a side of mashed potatoes. The sandwich was really good, I couldn't have beenhappier with it and the same goes with the mashed potatoes. The steak wasn't quite as good, not bad, but not excellent. Mywife asked for medium with should be pink in the center and it was over cooked and brown all the way through. The taste wasdecent albeit a bit dry. The service was ok, definitely felt like the waitress wanted us to leave and was visibly annoyed whenwe asked for desert....but all in all I would recommend the place but hope for a few small upgrades in cooking and service.

Lively atmosphere, delicious and beautifully presented dishes, nice drink selection…and family friendly while still having a... cool vibe! I had the roasted chicken with a lovely butter-based gravy. The drizzle of the balsamic reduction had enough acid toboth cut through and balance the dish. I’m a huge fan of vinegar and lemon (acidic flavors in general), but you can avoid thatdrizzle if it’s not your favorite. The Brussels sprouts app were on the small side. Luckily, we weren’t too hungry and ourmain dishes came out quickly after. My boyfriend got the steak (I don’t remember what the cut is) medium rare. Itphotographed nicely! He is a great steak grill master himself, so he enjoyed it but didn’t rave about it. I believe the beefwas from a Colorado ranch. My parents both got the fish basket and loved it. Crispy, but not overly greasy. A thing ofwonder! My boyfriend and I met my parents here, who traveled in from out of state. We live in Boulder, but they were staying inWindsor with my sister’s family. This was a nice short drive for them and a worthwhile trip for us. It was crowded and loud,just beware that soft-spoken people (like my dad) might have a hard time being heard across the table. It was at least 10 yearssince I’ve visited downtown Loveland. I graduated from CSU in Fort Collins, but hardly made it out to the restaurants. It’sawesome that Loveland is focused on small and independent businesses in their downtown development. I’ll be sure to check outmore when I drive up north in the future. Read more
