If you are looking for the Best aged beef this side of Italy go here! Newer to FC. The food is completely quality controlled. Everything is not only perfected but gets to the table perfect. The beef hangs in a glass cube for viewing. So pleased to have such a classy place to dine right here in Fort Collins! Call ahead get the CURVED booth near the back or a warm cube outside! Great patio on the most happening corner of old town too.

My Fav’s (dinner mostly)
SO MANY restaurants within walking distance, many are VERY good! I’ve lived here a long time so these are my old favorites . Most have patios.
LIMIT 3 MARGARITAS A guaranteed good time!
Started by 3 traveling friends who maxed out their $5k credit cards, and bought a slushy machine to make margaritas with. Limit 3 because they are so strong! Get a table by the huge, imported fountain on the back patio if the weather is nice! Still owned by one of the three friends.

My favorite casual but really delicious linger-long type dining in a chill PUB setting. Private, wind-blocked patio in the back. Small gourmet menu, for under $20 -great chef! Basement with more seating. The stuffed grilled Pablano chicken over mashed potatoes in a pablano cream sauce plate is my first choice of favorites!

Best patio on the plaza. Get the “coops burger” (medium rare for me!) and a cask Punjabi from their lil’ basement draw. This was our FIRST brewery (with pub) circa late 80’s. Sit in the bar OR one of two awesome patios (not in the restaurant) for the best experience. Hit the poolside (to shoot pool) if the weather sucks, and get a pizza. The place I LOVE burgers at!

When you just want a whole rack of smoked ribs all to yourself with a pint of good beer! It falls off the bone and is smoked and savory. Extra sauce comes with of course. When they run out for the day —you lose, so call ahead or go early. Large patio in the back if you don’t mind sitting at picnic tables.

Get the Lobster enchiladas, omg!!!
In the lower level of the historical post office building. Cozy outdoor seating with flaming tables, and a groovy entry! Fairly new gig but winning over the town. Creative hybrid Mexican, with smashing service and a delicious bar. Walk those 4 interesting blocks from the house.

Amazing wine cellar. Everything is underground, very private feeling club-like, and always the most decadent service! Originally was Nicos Catacombs, same great style with a new name Nico, the Dutch owner had created the cellar.

Really good quality meats prepared in glorious “pig out” delicious ways. Bring your doggie 🐶 ask and they will give him a butcher bone to eat with you on the patio. Good selection of interesting taps. Walk 3.1 blocks West.
