    Quiche with Potatoes.
    Marina F.

    This is a small cafe, and is proud to be a "Farm to Table" Eatery. They have Quiche's, Burgers. Burritos, Salads, and Breakfasts. I decided to have the Spinach Quiche, a Biscuit, and a Mocha. The Quiche was good, as was the Mocha. The Biscuit was, unfortunately, tough and small , so I only had a bite. Their Cinnamon Rolls are Huge. I also got a slice of Apple Pie, to go, which was also very small. I would go back, but probably order a Breakfast, as they were a nice size serving. My waitress, Regina, was lovely and very welcoming. They were Extremely Busy today, 2/1/25.

    Patio

    What a lovely place! Stopped by on a long lunch break to sit in the sun on the patio and was not disappointed! The patio is lovely and has a mini water fountain. The staff was super helpful and kind. They have good gluten free options with gf bread substitutes for breakfast and lunch. I got a tuna salad sandwich with fruit and it was great!

    this is our drinks at the bar

    This place is absolutely phenomenal! The staff is great and everyone is so sweet! The food is so good and everything was absolutely amazing! best breakfast in town!!

    Quesadilla with pork green chile
    Angelo W.

    Some of the best breakfast choices in Fort Collins. They changed owners 1.5 years ago and man what an improvement. The cinnamon roles are AMAZING... the pork green chile is excellent and their omelettes...... perfect. Ps. Service was slow but the staff is friendly and communicated this well and often. As long as expectations are set up front this is less of an issue.

    Ace Gillett's -- The Best Speakeasy Vibe in Fort Collins…read more Ace Gillett's is one of our favorite spots in Fort Collins -- a fun, underground bar with true speakeasy vibes. Cozy booths, dim lighting, live music, a full bar, and genuinely delicious food make it the kind of place you want to linger. We love coming here with friends and sharing appetizers: flatbread pizza, fries, Brussels sprouts -- everything is consistently great. We've celebrated our daughter's 21st birthday here, and celebrated our new home here. It's perfect for date night, girls' night out, or a cozy, relaxing evening with live music. One of the best things about Ace Gillett's is how flexible it is. As my husband and I say, it's an "every evening place" -- you can splurge on an incredible full meal or spend $15 on a happy hour drink and an appetizer. It works for any occasion and any budget. And the location is unbeatable: tucked beneath the historic Armstrong Hotel in the heart of downtown Fort Collins. Super convenient if you're staying there, and a wonderful spot to add to any night out. Highly recommended.

Prices weren't bad and it also has a piano bar but that's only open on certain days. Although I was surprised, it wasn't more packed for a Saturday night. But good for me and my friend, so it was easy to converse without a lot of noise.

    Many thanks to the kind owner who graciously gave us a tour on Saturday (when they don't normally…read moredo tours) after our flight was super delayed and we couldn't make our Thursday tour we had scheduled online. It was probably one of the best distillery tours I've been on, he was so knowledgeable about spirits in general, you could tell he was passionate about making a quality whiskey. Not only did he talk extensively on whiskey, but all other spirits - vodka, gin, tequila, bourbon v. rye v. irish v. blended whiskey. Why we can't call something "tequila" in the U.S. because it isn't made in Mexico. It was more of a insightful tour of spirits and then talked about his specific distillery. You can tell how much he cares. The spirit tasting at the end was also insightful - taught us how to smell the whiskey, from top to bottom and how it smells different. Compared the un-barreled to the barreled whiskey, it was just a great distillery tour. Thank you! The tasting room is small, and the location is relatively out of the way of most things, but the bartender was very kind and showed us the MANY menus. If there is a piece of advice I'd give, it's condense your menus so it's not so overwhelming. I was also surprised that such a purist has so many sweet drinks on their menu - pudding, girl scout pairings, etc. Maybe just for Easter and holidays? Give this place a try, much better than NOCO distillery.

I thought I had progressed taste bud wise to a whiskey tasting but as it turns out my cool factor isn't there yet. Instead I settled on a whiskey cocktail that was quite delicious. I had wanted a Kentucky mule but they were out of ginger beer which was a shame so I went for a whiskey sour. Their cocktail was a winter version with some spiced simple syrup that while tasty, I would have preferred to not have the cinnamon notes. I ended up passing my flight over to the hubs and our friend and they were most happy indeed. The staff was really nice and definitely into their craft.

You walk in and our greeted by gorgeous light fixtures…read more We started w the buratta which was honestly unreal I kept saying "ohmygod this is so good." It was perfectly salted and the bed of argula it was on had this delicious pesto drizzle omg. And don't even get me started on the tomatoes!!! Then we split the Bolognese and the vodka ravioli. The server came around and gave us freshly grated parm and freshly cracked pepper omfggggg!!!! The bolognese was good but the ravioli blew it out of the water it was sooo cheesy and the vodka sauce was unreal. The tiramisu was delicious. It wasn't a lot of chocolate and coffee mostly the cream which was light and airy and perfectly sweet. And it came w a cute flower garnish!

Starting off with the good - the service was good. The manager had a lot of positive personality. In general, the service staff is trying their best and there's no negative attitude. Great ! The ambiance was nice. Business appropriate , date appropriate. Nice night out level. However, the food. The most important part of dinner. Sadly, it was a bit disappointing. - meatballs: tasted processed. Not made from scratch. It may be the blend or the seasoning or both, but this was not something worth ordering at all. 3 small meatballs. A bit on the dry side. - the mushroom appetizer. Hardly any mushrooms on the middle of the fried outside. Really it was a shell of fried outside breading and very little of what resembled the taste or texture of mushrooms. Pass on this. -fungi pasta - this wasn't bad, but not a standout. 3 stars. Probably the best thing I ordered. - short beef ravioli - I'm not trying to be critical or harsh but this tasted like something I can buy as a microwaveable meal at Trader Joe's. Huge disappointment. If I needed a nice place to discuss business , I may go in to get drinks and light food. But if you're a foodie , or remotely emphasize food as an important part of a meal, I would probably pass, at least for now.
