It's the first week of June, time for our annual pilgrimage to Fort Collins, CO for 5 days of R&R…read more It's become a tradition with us to eat brunch at Lucile's, so brunch it was, on a fine warm Monday morning. Our fabulous server Clementine was there--we remembered her from last year. This is I think our third or fourth time here in as many years. An order of beignets started us off. These are square and no-kidding as big as my hand. Each. Four of them. Yeah, beignets are mostly air but one order was plenty for the two of us. I ordered the Eggs Pontchartrain---pan-fried trout filet, poached eggs, smothered in sauce bearnaise. I ordered the side of grits, plain, though I've also had their cheese grits. Both are stellar. Fabulous breakfast plate! Wife N went with the classic Benedict, ham, poached eggs, hollandaise, plain grits on the side. Delicious as always. Coffee is dark and fabulous. Side biscuit was super-fluffy and the housemade strawberry rhubarb jam hit the spot. Fabulous as always, see you again next year!

After placing your order, they give you a number to place on your table and the staff brings your food to your table. From there, you're basically on your own. Drinks, napkins, ketchup, silverware, and to-go containers are easily accessible close to the bar area so you can help yourself. This simplifies the experience so you can get whatever you need without staff assistance. You'll also leave your dishes and trash by the bin on your way out. My favorite spice level is the Nashville hot. It has the perfect seasoning without being overly salty. My go-to order is the wedgie garden veggie salad that includes mixed greens with bacon, blue cheese, tomato, snap peas, red onion. Ranch, Honey Mustard, Red Wine Vin, or Lemon Vin. You can choose crispy tenders, thigh, grilled breast, or tempeh with your wedgie salad. I choose the tenders and the salad comes with two of them. I also order a side of the fries. I always leave with leftovers and feel so full at the end of my meal. Music City Hot Chicken is one of my top picks to get good chicken in FoCo. I highly recommend!

Because I had just picked up a steaming hot container of dark, rich Cajun gumbo and a boudin burrito. The gumbo was chock full of chicken and andouille sausage pieces and had the perfect spiciness to it. This gumbo may be the best I've ever had, including that in southeast Texas and Louisiana. The boudin burrito was delicious and very pleasing. Chris, the owner, obviously takes great pride in the quality of his food. He's also a really interesting guy to talk to! I can't wait to get back to this cool place.

We needed food and we needed a lot of it, so we headed to our favorite barbecue joint in town. Everyone at the counter was masked and gloved up, which is always a good start! I ordered the three meat platter with smoked chicken wings, brisket and pulled pork, selecting potato salad and baked beans as the sides. After a short wait, the huge tray was set down in front of us and we dug in. The smoked wings are some of the best wings I've had in Fort Collins! Tender, crispy and piping hot! The brisket was a little tougher than I had hoped, but still full of flavor. The pulled pork stole the show, however - juicy and falling apart on the plate with just the right amount of sizzling fat, drizzled with a sweet and slightly tangy barbecue sauce. Originally we had thought that we'd have leftovers to reheat at home but, as you can see, that didn't happen. We demolished the plates and ripped through the perfectly prepared potato salad and maple-sweet baked beans, then debated getting dessert. The debate was short and we rounded out the meal with a container of banana pudding that had notes of cinnamon and vanilla, topped traditionally with a Nilla wafer. Once the meat sweats stop (SO. MUCH. MEAT), we'll be heading back for another mountainous platter!

We were greeted warmly, seated quickly, and our server was incredibly friendly and helpful. The meal was fantastic. Everything tasted fresh and was prepared with care. Each dish had its own unique flavor, and nothing felt overly salty or greasy. The portions were just right, leaving us satisfied without feeling overly full. Even the drinks and dessert were excellent. The restaurant itself had a clean and inviting atmosphere. The tables were spotless, the seating was comfortable, and the overall vibe made it easy to relax and enjoy our evening. Even though it was busy, the staff stayed organized and attentive. This is exactly the kind of place you look forward to visiting again.

Got the Mediterranean bowl with a steak skewer add-on and an Odell IPA. The bowl looked the part (cauliflower, chickpeas, feta, spinach, peppers) but the flavor didn't land the way I hoped. Felt like it needed more punch. The steak skewer was cooked perfectly, but for what they charge as an add-on, you should be getting three skewers instead of one. The key lime cheesecake stole the show. Bright, tart, creamy, and worth saving room for. If you go, order it. Service was attentive without hovering. The space is open and well-lit with cool abstract art on the walls, and the noise level stays low enough to hold a real conversation, which is rare for a place this size. Two patios out front for when the weather cooperates. Come for the dessert and the easy vibe. Skip the Mediterranean bowl, try one of the pizzas or the ribeye next time.

Neighbors and friends kept telling us that Jax flew in fresh seafood daily and, although it is pricey af, it is worth the cost. So we tried it. And dammit if they weren't right. They had several types of fish that day (my husband was so excited to get fried catfish). I had the cioppino, which is honestly my favorite of all west coast seafood dishes and they nailed it. The drinks were good, the dessert we got (key lime pie) was delicious. Highly recommend and I will be back.

We started with the Steelhead Carpaccio. Delightful flavors of salmon, grapefruit, and pistachio prop up the lime cream. All at once makes for a delicious and complex play on a basic Carpaccio. Mains: I went with a Crab Caccio e Pepe, a delicious creamy take on crab and pasta. Just the right amount of Grana Padano and black pepper create the underlying notes for this crab and pasta dish. Delicious. Wife N went with the Blackened Ahi. This was extremely tender, and cooked perfectly (which is to say, absolutely raw with the exception of the flawless eighth-inch sear all around). Fingerling potatoes, horseradish cream and a sweet onion jam routed out the flavors here. Perfect. Place is a bit loud, but has all the vibe you'd expect from an oyster bar. Love Jax! We'll be back next time we're in town!
