-changing it from 4 stars to 3 stars-
I return to Bishops Quarter on a Sunday afternoon for their five dollar burger. It was around 7 o'clock in the evening on a Sunday, and Loveland was packed. There were no clear tables, and we had to go find someone to ask to clean a table for us to sit down at outside. The people sitting next to us declared they had been there 15 minutes before someone had even offered them a menu or a drink. We ended up sitting down at a dirty table and were finally waited upon.
We were helped by three different people--All running around very frantic. One person did not realize why we did not have silverware and drinks, etc. and tried to help us. Our order came out, and we were missing a few items, but it was eventually taken care of. They did comp one of our items on our check without us asking, as they knew the whole dining experience was a hot mess.
We did finally ask our sweet server what the problem was, as she seemed so overworked. We were told that they had not anticipated such a big crowd on a Sunday. Note to the manager, after living in Loveland for years, every day it is nice outside, any restaurant with outside seating will be packed. The bike trail brings so many customers in on a nice summer day, so please staff your restaurant accordingly. I felt bad for our server, as everyone around us was also frustrated. It was not fair to her, as I am sure that she was shorted tips throughout the evening because she was taking care of so many tables. She was not able to focus in on one specific section due to her running back and forth. She held her own--I'm sure it was a rough night for her.
Would love to try it again sometime when I know I will be waited upon.

Originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, this three-story restaurant and bar is new to the quaint town of Loveland! Located on the corner as you enter downtown Loveland, it is a beautiful old building renovated on all three stories.
There is plenty of outdoor seating around the building on the first level, as well as on the second and third stories. The third floor has an open rooftop bar complete with patio lights. It's a historic building, and they did a great job renovating it while keeping the flare of the original building.
They do have drink and/or food specials each night of the week. My favorite deal is on Sundays! You can get their gourmet cheeseburger for five dollars and a side of fries for $2.50. I'm not 100% sure on this, but I do not believe they serve cheeseburgers during the week... they are only available on Sundays. You can't beat a cheeseburger and fries for $7.50! Those fries are delicious! So salty and perfect with a burger.
They are known for their seafood dishes, as well as they're expansive list of alcohol choices. Since I don't drink, I would come here to eat some appetizers or get the deal on Sundays. They have plenty a room to sit outside and enjoy a beverage or a side dish. To be honest, I would classify them more as being a bar with a few options for food, but they have a larger selection of drinks than they do for food. They mainly just have light bites. Just keep that in mind if you come here with a full appetite.
I'm glad they have made their home here in Loveland! They are a great addition to our historic store fronts. They are right near the bike trail, so it would be easy to grab a drink or an appetizer there before heading to dinner across the street.
