    Enthusiastic customer

    We came in for a small midday snack, little hen pattee with fresh baguette, gherkins, and a delightful Dijon mustard! Although the entrance was a bright deli mustard yellow, the inside was a quaint softer yellow, with wood accents. Our server was wonderfully attentive but never seemed rushed with the busy noon crowd.

    Absolutely loved my experience here! The food was fresh and delicious, the coffee was smooth and rich and the atmosphere was perfect. I love that there was no rush to turn the tables, we were able to sit & enjoy our food in a leisurely fashion and really enjoy the whole experience. I will definitely be back and I can't wait to try something new from the menu as all the choices looked amazing.

    French Onion Soup
    Terry M.

    Very cute place in old town. We just returned from a trip to Paris, so I was hesitant to try Colorado French cuisine. Very glad I did, and you will be, as well. Strive was excellent. Our server knew every detail of every menu choice and had solid pairing recommendations. The food stands out. Im a French Onion soup afficiando, and the had the best flavor profile of any I've tried--clear winner. It could have used a touch less salt, but the herbs made up for it. My wife had the eggs with smikes salmon and it was perfectly done. I had the Nicoise salad which was a risk since I have a big appetite. I was full, and the taste was awesome. We were here for lunch and definitely intend to try dinner here to see if it's just as good. No reason to believe it won't be. Joie de vivre!!!

    YUMMMMM

    Great food and ambiance! We loved it and would definitely come back. I do wish they had more crepe options, especially savory ones. But I highly recommend the house soup-- it is zesty and refreshing!

    It's been two years since the last visit to Fort Collins, and Philippe's remains an outstanding choice!

    Bouillabaisse
    Jocelynn K.

    We visited this cute French bistro for dinner. The service was very friendly and prompt, and the atmosphere is very nice. It wasn't too loud and was nice for a calm dinner. Two of us had the bouillabaisse, which had a decent amount of seafood (one piece of cod, three mussels, and two shrimp) but was lacking in any real flavor. The bread with rouille spread was the best part of the meal. I would suggest ordering something else. The steak frites was the other dish we ordered, and the steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The sauce and fries were both good. We did not order dessert, but nearby tables seemed to enjoy them. Overall, worth a visit, but some entrees may be better than others.

    This was the perfect way to start Easter Sunday. My brother and I decided to try this place for brunch since I've been meaning to go here for a while. We both got the croque madame, and let me just say croque maDAMN it was good! The soft and slightly sweet bread paired with the French ham and runny egg made my taste buds quite happy. Although a seemingly simple dish, it is well executed and something that I will be thinking about for the next few weeks.

    Omelette Parisienne, flawless French Classic style with ham, gruyere, spinach and pearl onions
    Dan N.

    Wife N and I are in town visiting from Portland OR for an extended weekend, just a little time together for a few days. Found Philippe French Bistro and decided to swing in at opening time on a Saturday morning. Got right in---apparently unlike Portland breakfast bistros, people don't proverbially line up here three hours early to get a seat. It was pretty empty, though I'm told things pick up over the next hour or two and they did. Started with a Latte and an Espresso. Coffee was lovely, smooth, no bite. We ordered a small plate of beignets to start. These were different than the more cajun style we're used to, more like a doughnut with a raspberry filling. They were delicious. Mains arrived. I ordered their Omelette Parisienne (french ham, gruyere, pearl onions and spinach), and she the Croque Madame (think high-falutin hoity-toity fried stuffed grilled ham and cheese with bechamel sauce all over it, and an egg on top because that's the Madame for you.). Omelette: LOVED it! I finally found a French bistro that can cook an actual FRENCH omelette instead of the half-moon shaped American variety! I just had to travel halfway across the US to eat it. The eggs were perfect, fluffy but absolutely perfectly golden yellow and not a hint of browning. The interior was just barely to the "cooked" mark and wonderfully flavorful. Fabulous! The Croque Madame was....massive. Oh yeah, the fat lady sung on my wife at about the halfway point, and (having already downed my omelette) I was mostly useless at assisting her in consuming any further. Huge. Two light/average eaters could easily share one. Service was great. Cost was about average for the area. I glanced at their dinner menu and we may return for dinner while we're here.

    Coq au vin
    Brian T.

    The ambience is really simple but clean. It's a relatively small restaurant but they made our party of 8 work. I liked the decor and lighting which fit the restaurants theme very well. The coq au vin had really tender meat with a savory sauce. I really appreciated the addition of pearl onions and the sweetness it added. I thought the scalloped potatoes were a good texture too. The escargots were also really tasty. It was swimming in garlic/scallion butter and had good texture

We originally planned to stay for happy hour, but ended up spending nearly three hours there because we were enjoying ourselves so much. Social is one of those rare places that completely lives up to the hype. From the moment you walk downstairs, the atmosphere transports you to another era. The speakeasy vibe is authentic without feeling gimmicky, and every detail has clearly been thoughtfully designed. It's a super cool speakeasy with a warm, inviting interior that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. We shared the charcuterie board, which was excellent, and enjoyed both the champagne and the bourbon. Everything was high quality and thoughtfully prepared. Ryan, our bartender, really made the experience special. He treated us exceptionally well, made us feel genuinely welcome, and provided outstanding service throughout the evening. What started as a plan to enjoy happy hour turned into one of the most enjoyable evenings we've had in a long time. It's the perfect place for a date night or simply a relaxing evening with exceptional food, outstanding cocktails, and an atmosphere that's second to none. We'll definitely be back now that we live here in Fort Collins. If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in Fort Collins, Social is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!

I don't love cocktails and their food menu is sparse, but if you want to impress a date or treat yourself to tasteful drinking, it's a nice place. Sometimes if you sit at the bar, there are annoying strangers who ask you to explain your thoughts on America's involvement in Iran. My server made sure to back me and my friend up when he started to get defensive. Thank you brother, you are an ally to the lesbian community.
