My girlfriend and I went to Social for happy hour and appetizers about a week ago and had an…read moreabsolutely wonderful time. 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!

The first thing is that the place was about 2/3 full and they seem pretty well staffed in the front of the house. There were 2-3 bartenders behind the bar at all times. After we ordered (2 cups of lobster bisque and bread), our server apologized and told us there was a large party in their private room and the chef was having a hard time keeping up. I can't imagine they normally only have one person preparing all of the food on a normal Saturday evening! It took no less than 45 minutes from when we ordered to get our food. Some olives or something would have been nice. My mom also had to wait 15 mins for her 2nd glass of wine. I'll tell you, we weren't going to order anything else after that! There was some really nice classical guitar music by a live musician. I tipped him on our way out. After we left, we noticed a $5 entertainment charge! Is this a norm in Colorado? I would think we would be informed upon entering if there's a cover fee or an additional charge. I would have been happy to pay it, but we should have been informed.

Our servers was very knowledgeable about the wines, cheeses and their other food offerings. A side order from the tapas menu, and we were good for the evening.

Mantra Cafe refers to having "Nepali Indian Fusion Food" and their menu reflects Himalayan items and classic Indian fare. It was a Tuesday evening and there were a handful of customers dining already - mostly couples I noticed. For our party of three, this is what we ordered: * Pani-Puri $8 * Garlic Cilantro Naan $5 * Rogani Lamb $22 * Village Curry Goat $22 * Basmati Rice (complimentary) Everything was very enjoyable with great flavors and we finished it all. I really appreciated that the basmati rice was complimentary. I was definitely curious about their various Mo-Mo items but we were very full with what we got. 4.5 stars

We patiently waited while other tables that came after us ordered. Others had gotten their food already. We followed up, but they essentially blew us off. We waited over an hour for the food to come out. The food overall was good, but instead of getting the saag dish with lamb, we were given the saag paneer. I asked to pay, and they said got that fixed on the bill. They said they included a 5% discount for the wait, but they didn't say that a 20% tip would already be added. Despite having such POOR service, we still tipped $20.00, not knowing tip had already been included. I went to let them know that they could've have said something about the tip being added. They said it wasn't their intention. And I could've reviewed the receipt but they just put the machine to me and asked me to tap without giving the option to review the bill. Thing is, this is a state govt funded work function, and by state policy, we are not allowed to tip over 20% on meals. Either way, food was good, but service was POOR POOR POOR. Again I understand the circumstances, but you could communicate better and not be so dismissive.

Everyone seemed to be having a great time, and the atmosphere was lively and a lot of fun. We had a reservation, but our table was delayed about 30 minutes because they had to close the patio due to the rain. The hostess recommended that we grab a drink at the bar while we waited. The bar area and the bartenders had the same great energy and we really didn't mind the delay as a result. Once we were seated, the manager, Dan, stopped by and surprised us with complimentary appetizers because of the delay. It was unexpected and it was a nice touch to welcome us to the restaurant. The food on the menu is mostly tapas-style. We were not sure what to order so we let our waitress choose for us, and she absolutely nailed it. Every dish she selected was fantastic, as were the choices in wine, and it made the whole experience even better. She was very thoughtful in asking us questions about stuff we liked and didn't like before she ordered, and also didn't try to oversell us on stuff or select the highest priced items. She genuinely wanted to make our food and drink experience great, and she did a great job of doing it. From the atmosphere and service to the food and hospitality, it was a memorable night. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

There were about 12 people inside watching Phantom when we got there and we received waves and compliments from several. I do believe one of the co-owners was the one who helped us at the bar and we were offered free samples. I ended up getting their Halloween special which was their spiced mead made blue with spirulina called the Draugr and my spouse got their oak barrel aged mead. We watched part of Phantom and part of Nosferatu before we left around 9pm because it was getting late. We had a great time and the atmosphere was really chill. We hope to be back soon. It was seriously some of the best mead I've ever had and I'm mead spoiled.

The location is nice, it's is not particularly big but when we went it was comfortable and we found a seat easily. They have an outdoor patio that I did not photograph because it was dark. They have a tasting room and a little gift area. They showcase local art on the walls and have several games and toys for little ones to play with. They offer their own mead, meads and ciders from all over, non alcoholic drinks, wines, and an assortment of cocktails. They also offer pub snacks which we got the meat and cheese plate and giant pretzel. My 1.5 year old thoroughly enjoyed both and we were hungry so I forgot to photograph it lol. The mead was wonderful. They offer flights and my partner and I both had one. He got the warrior and I got the sweet as well as a DIY flight. The flights were very reasonably priced at 9$ for a flight of 3 which were decent sizes. The traditional was a nice easy mead, sweet but not overbearingly so. My partner really enjoyed the Ragnarboar which was raspberry infused. I loved the Oderir and would drink that warm in the fall. It was a great experience, our 1.5 year old was welcomed with us, loved the toys and the snacks and I was pleased to know and use the changing table in the bathroom. We will definitely be back. Can't wait for warmer months when the patio is opened.

High-end place for tapas!…read more I came with a friend on a Friday night and it was moderately busy. The ceilings are high, the staff are super helpful, and the vibe feels perfect for a classy date night. They have an awesome drink menu. My friend and I were both very happy our drinks. The tapas menu is also full of great options. We had the tuna steak, the beef steak, and some scallops. It was very delicious with great presentation. Very fine-dining. This is a little on the pricier side and you're not going to be full from just a plate of the tapas. However, the experience makes it worth it! If you wanna have a fine-dining experience without committing to like a $300 9-course meal, Ollie & Park's is the place to go!

The restaurant has three TV's (one big screen in the corner), a great bar area, spacious dining room, and a fantastic wrap-around outdoor area. It is dog friendly, and they even had a big event coming up...just for dogs. They get their beers from Briar Common Brewery on the other side of town, and the Hoptomist IPA was one of the better beers I have had in quite a while. I chose the Royale with Cheese route, and couldn't have been happier with what came out of the kitchen. I spoke with the manager, Jeff, and you could sense that the quality of employees there was high across the board. He was very nice to the weird guy taking all kind of pics around the place. I didn't have room for most of them after the burger, but the fries were good too, and I had garlic aioli to dip them in. Tasty. I dropped this burger in at #10 for me all-time.
