By CityBeat Staff

Ramsey’s Trailside 200 W. Loveland Ave., Loveland “I've been enjoying my time at Ramsey's for awhile now—but I want to give them a fresh review! This is a perfect restaurant to catch if you are on the bike trail or just wanting to hit the streets of downtown Loveland. They have indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a second story above the restaurant. It is often crowded, but it tells you that lots of people enjoy their food! A few times I have been on a 45 minute wait, and I was contacted within 15 to 20 minutes. They tend to get people in and out pretty quickly. Everything I have tried here has been delicious. A few of my favorites are the quinoa bowl with chicken and their salmon— just recently tried their grilled chicken meal and split it: it was delicious!! You can't go wrong with their cheeseburger and fries—and I can't believe I haven't had their humongous pretzel yet!! I leave full and satisfied. It's a healthy choice out of all the restaurants down Loveland—and it's worth the extra few dollars. Their prices are competitive and not bad for the food quality. Check them out! The restaurant is right on the bike trail, so you can take a walk before or after your meal.” Cindy W.

Mita’s menu is described as eclectic and farm-inspired with both traditional and modern food and drinks from both regions. You’ll find tapas, ceviches, cured hams, cheeses and large plates on the menu along with a wine program that “emphasizes Spain and the Old World,” says Mita’s.
