2.5, edging down to 2 stars…read more Not the best food experience I've ever had. They're rated really high -- actually one of the highest-rated restaurants in Fort Collins -- and from a food perspective I don't really understand why. Sliders with sweet potato fries -- fine, nothing extraordinary. Potato éclairs -- . It was really just mashed potatoes with some topping on it. I honestly didn't even finish it. Mountain oysters -- huge letdown. They came out so overcooked they were basically crunchier than potato chips, with the batter crumbling off. I've never had them before, so I didn't get a good representation of how they're supposed to be -- these were just super-cooked batter. On the space: we ended up sitting in three different spots to eat. We went outside by the street first -- super loud, and people were smoking, so we headed back in. The open spot inside was right under the AC and about forty degrees, so we moved to the back area. The back was fine -- covered -- but pretty dirty, with mop buckets and clutter sitting around. The one drink I had was a good value since we were there at happy hour -- some kind of fruity whiskey drink. It was fine, but nothing I'd seek out again. I hate to give such a friendly place a bad review. It'd be a really great spot if you're a college student who wants some cheap bites and a drink -- but honestly it's just bar food, and the ceiling is probably a 4 on a really good day. I wouldn't get excited to head down there, and parking is a bit of a hassle too. Would recommend only if you're after very cheap eats in that area -- check them out for happy hour. But I would not return.

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.

The dining area was clean, stylish, and had a relaxing atmosphere that made the entire meal even more enjoyable. It felt like the kind of place where you could enjoy a casual lunch, celebrate a birthday, or have a nice dinner with family. I can honestly say there wasn't a single thing I would change about my visit. It's rare to find a restaurant that consistently delivers on every level, but this one certainly does. I highly recommend giving it a try if you're nearby, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

The list of draft beers is notable, and my partner and a flight of four. The prices were reasonable, especially for the quality of food and the level of service we experienced.

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.

Once seated, it took a good 15 minutes for our server to come over and she seemed confused by one of our orders.

I'm only removing one star because I've had two exceptional experiences. Am really disappointed by tonight's experience. ********* Really good food and really good service. On our last visit we had Derek as our server and he did a great job! The restaurant itself is clean, spacious, and comfortable. As a typical party of 5, I very much appreciate having a table that actually seats 5 and not a table for 4 with a chair pulled up. We will continue to return.

We were offered indoor or outdoor seating and we opted for outdoors on this balmy 80-degree evening. Wife N started with a mocktail: Summer Crush. Delicious and we didn't miss the normally included liquors in the spirited version. She ordered a make it yourself burger: just the bun, patty, some ketchup and mayo. Medium. Side of fries. Her way. Burger perfect medium. Fries were crispy, above average. I ordered the Mushroom Avocado burger, also medium. Burger was juicy, flavorful, and the tempura avocados were an interesting twist on the un-fried norm. First couple bites had some crisp but mostly the avocados got soggy halfway through. Not sold on the tempura frying but the sandwich on the whole was great. Got some local draft on the side. Well taken care of, food was great, will return.

A cracked black pepper patty with bleu cheese, arugula, bacon, onion crisps, garlic aioli and buffalo sauce. He chose coleslaw for his side and really liked their recipe. My daughter chose the macaroni and cheese. It had four cheese sauce, cavatappi pasta, tomato, chive, spicy garlic bread. She decided to add bacon. She was happy with her choice. She even had some to take home. I was up for something different tonight. I chose the PBJ burger. A fun creation with peanut butter, bacon, roasted jalapeño, fig spread and cheddar. This was such a fun flavor combination. I had tots as my side. They were crispy outside and tender inside. It all paired well with my pint of Sad Panda. Delish! There is not much sound dampening in this space. When crowded it becomes difficult to hear conversation. There was also a gentleman performing popular songs while accompanying himself on guitar. It all mixed together to be a bit much for me. Our service at the bar was attentive, even with the crowd. Great service, great food, tasty brews.
