My first time visiting this restaurant. Went for brunch and was totally blown away. The restaurant itself was fantastic and the food was even better. The pancakes are incredible!! read more

I booked dinner there based upon the menu online. Specifically, I wanted the sturgeon. Upon arrival, I learned that the menu changes daily, but is not updated online. I had to pay $15 per person to book it. They don't have a phone number to call to check on the menu. They will not substitute anything. Was the food good? Yes, but not great. Nor was the food particularly warm when served. Room temperature duck. This level of pretentiousness was not appealing to me and it became the focus, rather than the food. read more

Upon entering we heard a voice call out greetings to us and out popped one of the most delightful humans I've had the pleasure of meeting who was cheerfully multitasking inside, but hurriedly made her way to seat us outside and get us some drinks for breakfast. The weather was simply gorgeous and the patio is well spaced and right on the corner, which is perfectly seated for people watching! We got our menus and ordered (just ask if you need to know which items are gluten free as they'll let you know). My son got the pancakes with Apple compote, my husband ordered the breakfast sandwich and the cinnamon roll (sinful, he says!), I ordered the eggs, bacon, hash browns, and greens and hats off the the chef/s because everything was delicious! A really sweet added touch that happened is sitting outside, a bird flew over and poo'd right on my son. He and my husband went in to get him cleaned up, and that wonderful soul that waited on us brought him a sweet treat to cheer him up! If that's not amazing service, I don't know what is? Come for the food, stay for the service! You will be glad you did! read more

Little - A little poo won't ruin a great experience! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Definitely recommend reservations, but we were able to get a table in a reasonable amount of time. The staff was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the ambiance lovely. read more

From California and really missing good food. This place is incredible! Very impressed with the customer service. Took my husband for his birthday and our server who's name started with a M, I can't remember but she went above and beyond. Gave great food recommendations and added to our experience. She was kind and not fake which is hard to find these days. And she ended our night with a little Nonino (one of my favs) And let's talk about the food. Wowza. Love that you know where they purchase from, incredible flavors and a great seasonal menu. We plan to be back next Saturday for our anniversary and so looking forward to the beautiful ambiance and experience. Try this place out. You won't be disappointed read more

Ordered beef chilaquiles and the meat was all fat. Took over a half hour to get the food when people that came in after us were served before we were. Waiter never came by until we waived them over. Food order was cold and inaccurately delivered with things missing. Menu says the egg sandwich was made with cheddar only to find out it was like a Kraft American cheese. When asked, a server said "we have no cheddar in the house"! Even after saying things were missing, they said they would bring them and forgot. Unimpressed with the service, food wasn't hot, way too expensive for what you order. read more

Such a cute restaurant! Loved the ambiance and food was great. Can't wait to go back

Thought I'd do a covid to-go review of Little. While some food suffers from takeout, Little's food was as amazing as ever. We tried the family meal (pasta and soup) and it was so yummy. The soup was so flavorful and perfect for a cold snowy night. We also got the carrots, awesome. My daughter had the pumpkin soup and a salad and we all enjoyed a Cosmopolitan. They also have some private tents set up with heaters. We will definitely have to try those out next time. I wish I had taken photos but we dug in immediately after smelling the delicious smells in the car all the way home. Thanks for being open and sharing the culinary delights. read more

Honestly, I've never felt more unwelcome in my entire life at a restaurant. Little is hands down the best food with the best wait staff in all of Fort Collins. Since they opened we have spent over $1000 at this establishment. A month ago we went there at 4pm and were enjoying drinks and appetizers. It was a Saturday and they started to get very busy and apparently there was some wedding party there that they didn't tell us about until we had been there two hours. Instead of informing us ahead of time that they had a bunch of tables reserved, the owner came out after we ordered an entrée and told us we needed to eat and leave ASAP. This is after spending $100 on just drinks and appetizers. It's not a cheap place but it used to be worth it before they treated us like s$&@. That comment was maybe the most awkward I had felt at a restaurant- especially at the caliber of Little- in my entire life. If you need your patrons to leave you need to tell them, and tell them when they sit down (they haven't ever allowed reservations btw). So my husband left a review on Yelp. Today we went for my sisters birthday. All was well.. the waitress brought Out my first drink and apparently they knew right away we were the ones that left the review because she said 'this one is on the house because of your review' which okay... that is great and you're on your way to make it right but it also was another super awkward way of phrasing it (vs. "we are so sorry about your experience last time, we hope we can make it right"). Then it gets dark, the owner brings out candles and secretly slips me a passive aggressive note telling me I need to tell my waiter my intention and I should never expect to spend more than 2 hours at a restaurant during Covid. First of all, tell that to my face if that's how you really feel. Second of all, maybe we're not spending $500 each time at your establishment like your normal customers but we are still loyal customers.. I loved your restaurant until you made me feel more unwelcome there then I've ever felt at any time at any restaurant. I was so confused and astonished instead of taking a photo of this horrible passive aggressive note, we asked the waitress about it. She said had no idea where it came from. We watched her bring it to the owner and he folded it up and shoved it into his pocket. P.S. the note did say the name Dan- and it appears that is the name of the co-owner. So the co owner is a passive aggressive, angry, patronizing person who obviously doesn't care about his loyal customers and if he did he'd have enough balls to tell us how he really feels to our face. I am honestly so sad to say I don't think I can ever eat here again. It's the best food in foco with the best servers.. but the worst owner that made us feel like shit for a valid complaint that he could have easily made right. Ps-- our table probably spent $400 there tonight and he still decided it was appropriate to leave an unmarked passive aggressive note at our table telling us how we were in the wrong last time and how it's people like us screwing places over during covid times. It's such a shame. I'm really sad Also- they hid/deleted my review on Facebook and Google & blocked me from re-posting this on Facebook. read more

After days of rain and gloominess the sun came out as I arrived for dinner at Little on Mountain. The service is excellent. Multiple people wait on you which is different but you get asked often how things ate. The olives are fabulous. The drinks imaginative. It's loud on t h e patio as it is on the corner of two busy streets. Overall I loved it.​ read more

I've been coming here since they opened and have always loved the experience. A little pricey but sure but worth it for the experience, and the quality of food. When COVID hit they offered great take out options. Today we came for cocktails and appetizers (which were great as always). We then decided to share a pasta plate, which is when things took a turn. After ordering, the owner came out to our table and in a very passive aggressive way told us that our pasta was coming out fast, and that they have a long wait and a wedding party and that we needed to eat and leave ASAP. We've been here since 4:30 (it's 6:00 now and spent upwards of $100) and this is the first I heard of a wedding. I guess I should have left after cocktails instead of buying a 17 dollar bowl of spaghetti the size of an ice cream bowl. Let me say again the wait staff is amazing here but the owner has a lot to learn from his employees. *****update***** So today we went back for my sisters birthday and let's just say it was awkward. We ordered drinks to start off the evening and that's when it got weird. When our drinks came the waitress (who was great btw) dropped off our drink and then informed us that one of the drinks was free. Sounds nice right? Well it was followed by the statement " this ones free because of your review." So obviously the owner knew it was I who posted this review, which could have been a nice gesture if it hadn't been the the statement that followed. Anyways fast forward an hour and it's getting dark, so the owner comes and brings out candles, but while we were distracted by the candles he slips a letter to my wife. I mean with that slight of hand the guy should have been a magician. The letter more or less stated that we needed to state our intentions for our visit next time, be it a cocktail for happy hour or dinner. Also it stated that we should expect in the future that restaurants want their patrons to leave within a 2 hr period. When we asked our server if this note was normal or if she knew anything about it she said no, but she would investigate. She then brought it to the owner and he proceeded to fold it up without even looking at it and slipped it into his pocket. So I'll let you be the judge. They did give my sister a free desert for her birthday though. read more

Just had dinner there last night & couldn't wait to post this review. WOW - just WOW! We booked the Morocco room - which is one of the little yurts outside. I was worried b/c the forecast was calling for 22 degrees @ 7pm. It turned out to be 10 degrees when we sat down in the yurt. Guess what?! It was LOVELY! Cozy & warm & darling & just right for a birthday party! We felt like we were in our private little oasis, it was completely charming. And it just got better from there - the service was perfectly timed; the tasting menu was amazing (there was sooo much food & everything was delicious- I think the French Onion soup was the best I've ever had); they even put a little candle on the dessert plate so we could sing happy birthday. All in all, it was a magical night. Thanks to all the staff for such a marvelous experience! read more

If you are looking for fresh, locally sourced and the most delicious seafood, homemade pasta and a preparation that is amazing, Little on Mountain is your spot. The restaurant is small enough that each dish is prepared for a spectacular dining experience. I live in the neighborhood so I feel lucky to have this place at my back door. I wish I had a picture of the salmon with squid ink risotto in a warm saffron broth. It was so good. read more

The food is terrific--better than most other places in town. HOWEVER, the noise level is off the charts loud and stress inducing. There are three noise variables at play here--street noise, a small space and the horrific music blasted from above. I truly want to eat here, but the environmental dissonance makes it impossible to enjoy the meal. Having to shout at my dinner companions is decidedly unpleasant. Great food, terrible atmosphere. What I find most insulting, is that management has been told. They are aware, yet have made a decision to impair every conversation with loud, distracting and distasteful noise anyway. This is a huge diss to the older crowd that can most afford to eat here. Shame on management. read more

Always the best. Such great, thoughtful, well executed food. Love the staff: Keith, Sarah, Dan and team you rock. Good tunes. Good vibes. Fun times. Again and again and again :) read more

Once again an awesome meal, not just the entree, but the selection of beer, cocktails, apps, salads were great. Please go and eat and enjoy, you will not regret it... read more

1 star. Low quality hyped up to be fine dining. Not impressed. Rude attitude from the lead. I did my part by supporting your salaries, maybe do your part and research proper service. Don't need anything else from your business or staff. Hope the people listen to its fellows rather than the false apologies of a business entity. Good luck Foco. This is a slice of truth for the good people of Fort Collins. But you can make up your own mind. read more

Little is that awesome combination of a warm atmosphere and soul-comforting food/drink. I love to go here for quality time with my favorite people. The Tartine and fresh vegetable plates are always exceptional. I also appreciate supporting a neighborhood joint that sources locally. The team there do a wonderful job and it always puts a smile on my face just to see them. read more

One of our top 5 places in all of FC/NOCO. Always amazing. Friendliest staff. Super emphasis on local vendors and purveyors. Open kitchen so you can see the care that goes into your meal. One of our fav spots to take folks from out of town. Everything we've tried on the menu is superb. Couple things of note - always busy so plan accordingly, they take reservations but you have to leave a deposit that they'll apply 100% to your meal, not easy to park nearby at times and the they have only like 2 parking spots, for larger parties they have community style seating, when weather is nice they have outdoor seating. Enjoy! read more

A follow up from my previous review...I reached out to Little about our experience and the owner was extremely responsive. He went to great lengths to rectify the situation. I'm looking forward to dining there and appreciate the excellent customer service. Super bummed.... They wouldn't even seat us inside despite having paid for a reservation because not everyone in my party brought a vaccination card. In the two texts & two emails confirming our reservations -not a single word about needing to be vaccinated to eat here. I scoured their website on my cell phone and nowhere does it say vaccine required for entry. :( They we're very nice about it, but just super poor communication and embarrassing for our out of town guests/special occasion. read more

Great spot, good diversity in the menu. However, the parking situation makes for an interesting adventure. There is no private parking, you must either park in front of the Mountain Avenue neighborhood homes or intrude on Beaver's Market space. I can only imagine the number of patrons who have been met by an angry neighbor who does not like your choice of parking in front of their home. I believe that the lack of parking or accommodation makes this a difficult location to enjoy. Who enjoys the hassles of no parking accommodation. read more

GREAT FOOD, AMAZING ATMOSPHERE, STELLAR SERVICE, and nice background music too. Can't wait to come back and try more from the menu! Tons of outdoor seating to accommodate for COVID too. Worth the price for sure. read more

Traveling through Fort Collins and found this gem... WOW!!! Every bite was perfect. Thank you for starting my day off right with that breakfast (and doughnut!). read more

Such an incredible meal, we can't wait to come back! The ambiance, service and food are all worth a visit.

If you are looking for a place to enjoy the WHOLE experience this is the place. From the greeting, ambiance, staff, food and bathrooms this place feels like home. There is not one item on the menu that you could go wrong with. The drinks are simple and compliment the food. The employees are friendly and attentive. They really did it right. Truly no other restaurant in Fort Collins can provide this kind of experience and amazing food. I look forward to returning. Thank you Little!! read more

Little - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

See all

Purposely moved a block away from this gem. Thoughtful & delicious food. Wonderful crew. Must hit up. Enjoy

I have been wanting to try Little since it opened, and just now had the chance to stop in. Excellent. Cute as hell. Great date spot. Chef Brent has made an excellent menu. The kale salad was a perfect balance of acidity, crunch, char, and spice. We also had the pasta which had awesome charred cherry tomorrow that popped In your mouth and added so much flavor. It's hard to find good food in Fort Collins, but Little has it. read more

I wasn't very impressed with the food here. One of the entrees was a small bowl of pasta that would make a good side dish but isn't really enough if you're actually hungry. The flavor was kind of boring as well. I had their steak which was again not very interesting flavor, too salty, and was medium well, not medium rare like I ordered. Wait staff was friendly and atmosphere is decent. But for the price you pay I was expecting better food. read more

Have you ever been part of a great team? I mean a really great team? That's what you will find at Little on Mountain. From the instant you walk in the door you feel like family......familiar, fragrant and phantasmagoric! Our server.....Sparkle, was on top of it all. She and her comrades move like smoke dancing in the kitchen from table to table. This place spans the spectrum from urban rural to post modern funk. Food is consistently spectacular. The community treasure of West Mountain Ave. read more

This is an awesome restaurant. The brunch sandwich is so good. The staff is friendly and really want to do a nice job.

Very good food and good service. Always a risk showing up during busy times as you can't call ahead and check the wait time. Nothing mind blowing but still recommend! read more

Went for brunch. Coffee, crab benedict and green salad were all excellent. Thank you yelpers! Another gem in Fort Collins!!

This was our second dinner at Little. This charming restaurant, tucked in to a mostly residential block (but across the street from Beaver's Market), is the best we've found in Fort Collins. It's a small but charming place with a wonderful staff, a great wine and beer selection, and the most extraordinary cooking imaginable. The ingredients are first-rate, the preparation is flawless, and presentation is brilliant. I'm starting to think that everything coming from this kitchen (I.e., prepared right in front of you) is delicious and unforgettable ... I'm still dreaming of the dish I had a month and a half ago, and tonight's cavatelli pasta ragout was awesome. This is an exceptional and inventive new gem in the FC restaurant scene ... visit now, before it gets too crazy. read more

It's terribly disappointing to see a local business with no interest in becoming part of their community and instead focusing on a cash grab. I had the worst customer experience I think I've ever encountered tonight. We had a confirmed reservation for 4 for my wife's bday, but when we arrived the hostess informed us they could only seat 3. The response from the hostess and manager, rather than being apologetic or even sympathetic, was downright aggressive and demeaning. The rudeness and indignity with which we were treated is unlike anything I've ever experienced in a restaurant. Not to mention no offer to refund our reservation deposit (which is probably fraudulent). Successful restaurants need equal parts great food and great service. The food used to be good and the service is horrific. Sad to see Little sitting on its laurels, collecting cash while they can, and giving up on something that could have been a great, long term addition to the local food scene. read more

We've been to this local place several times, and the food quality is quite good. The staff is great, and the Pinot noir wine they have is good. It's an intimate experience dining so close to the kitchen staff, and it provides a different sort of experience. It's best to come for happy hour as we often do. read more

Unique "little" place with great vibe, excellent/attentive staff, and great cook (Lewis). I'd recommend the chicken liver toast and cauliflower as appetizers. We sat near the cooks and the beef/fries smothered in mushroom sauce looked amazing as did the large pork cut over spatzle and red cabbage. My beef pasta dish was good but the pasta wasn't fully cooked. The duck confit was also good but not amazing. The scallops were awesome. I'd stay away from the onion soup and the cocktails were just ok. I'd definitely recommend this place to a couple for a special occasion but not several people looking for a reasonably-priced night on the town due to the linear bar-type seating. read more

My wife and I went to this restaurant and were disappointed. It was an underwhelming experience. The pasta salad was lunch size and gloppy. The pork chop was cut away from the bone but all the fat was not trimmed off the meat. The pork chop and grits were sitting in a broth. It was also gloppy. The tables were full possibly with locals as there is only one parking space along with street parking. read more

We were excited to finally try this place but upon arrival felt very unwelcome. When we got there it was a little busy and as soon as we walked inside one of the waitresses says out loud, really? When another lady showed up behind us it was the same thing with the waitresses looking at each other and rolling their eyes. We found a table outside and received food before our drinks. The food was presented well but bland. The greens that come with breakfast were unseasoned placed on the plate with crab benedict and overcharged at $18.00. Also, the Bloody Mary we ordered was essentially V8 with ice, no garnishes, and no flavor also overpriced. You also have to pay and tip before even sitting down. We did like the atmosphere very cool place but we won't be back. Snooze is much more friendly, better prices, and tastier breakfast. read more

This is by far the best place I have ever eaten. Great location, steak was cooked to perfection, great atmosphere. I will definitely be back and recommend this place to everyone I know read more

Good food but very overpriced for what is essentially a bar experience with a time limit 2 hours). Only high top bar style tables. Terrible ambiance for the good quality of the food. I expected a very special intimate experience. Nope. It's a bar with loud music and uncomfortable seating and people dressed casually in the bar clothes. We were at a community table for an over $100 meal. I didn't reply expect to share the experience with strangers when I planned dinner for two. I asked for the music to be turned down, I don't believe that it was. It was "bar" loud. We did not get a value for our expenditure. read more
