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!

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.

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.

The hostess and our waitstaff were wonderful--friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the evening. The house-made bread brought to the table was a great touch, and the food was good overall.

Our server, Monica, was phenomenal! She went through the dinner and drink menu with us very thoroughly and checked in on us consistently. She brought a warm and inviting energy that made our experience so delightful! The food was top notch. We started off with fresh bread, which was light but filling. The pappardelle al ragù was phenomenal! The noodles were perfectly cooked and had a good snap. The ragù was seasoned well and kept you wanting more. The lobster risotto was heavenly! The risotto was creamy and was packed with flavor from the lobster broth. There was also a good amount of lobster on top as well! The cocktails are also amazing. We had the old-fashioned and the bergamot aperol spritz. Both were perfectly crafted! Lastly, we got cannolis for dessert and they were by far the best cannolis I've had! Not too sweet and balanced well with the pistachios. Will definitely be back again soon!

Something to note-gnocchi isn't a year round menu item and sandwiches are not an all day menu item. I saw a lot of pictures of gnocchi on various review sites and was looking forward to it but was told that's an item they usually only carry toward winter time. I was bummed and the sandwiches are only a lunch time thing. The restaurant plays a variety of music and it's at a level that is good so you can hear the person talking across the table. Some restaurants crank it up too loud. Theirs was perfect. The restaurant was clean. We paid $22.67 for 3 slices of cheese pizza and a side of meatballs. We drank water. The service was friendly and the restaurant had an upscale yet casual vibe which I appreciated.

This was our first time at Nicks and we came for our anniversary. On the positive side, the service…read morewas good and very fast. We had our drinks and appetizers in no time and our dinner was served very quickly after that. We ordered the "crispy" calamari, which was not crispy AT ALL. Very limp and oily. The mozzarella garlic bread was not bad but could have been cooked a bit more. Again, it seemed underdone, like the calamari. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo which wasn't bad but a bit lacking in flavor. My husband had the eggplant Parmesan, which he said was crispy on the outside but more or less uncooked on the inside. His side of pasta had a watery sauce. My glass of Prosecco was very good. The bar area seemed very busy - we sat in a booth in the dining area and there weren't many people there when we were there at 5pm. Just a bit disappointed in our meal here - oh well.

This is a small, family owned restaurant right on the edge of the CSU campus. You get the homey, welcome feel when you enter. There were four of us and we all enjoy Italian food. Two of us shared a pizza and the other two got Chicken Parmigiana with spaghetti. The service and preparation of food was swift. Our glasses were kept topped off. And we all enjoyed our food. Our birthday girl had a cannoli at the end to celebrate her day as well as leftovers to take back to her dorm.

My wife and I ate at the "new" Paninos today, at 1002 College Avenue. We really hadn't eaten a lot…read moreat the first Paninos, since it was on Prospect and we lived far south. We made an effort today though, to get to it for lunch. I got the Chicken Parmigiana Marinara ($20) (and my wife got the Eggplant Parmigiana ($20). I truly enjoyed my meal and my wife truly hated the Eggplant Parm. When our waiter, "Jackson" asked (for the second time) how everything was, I told him the truth. The first time my wife didn't say anything. We did not expect him to comp our meal, of course, but he did bring us a dessert I'd never had before, "Local Tiramisu Gelato from Sub Zero", and boy, Howdy, was THAT ever good! I thought I had died and gone to heaven! The total, with tax, came to $44, not unusual in today's market, I suppose. My wife says she'll never go back, and mentioned something about wild horses. Given the circumstances, I probably won't either, but it won't be because of the food. Looking at their drink menu though, I'm glad I don't drink much anymore. The drinks averaged around $12. I suppose that, too, is not unusual, but I don't know. Beer was $8, with a dozen taps to choose from. I didn't. Water worked just fine with my chicken parm. If this sounds good to you, give a new restaurant a try!

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.

It is predominantly carry out, but there is some outside seating with misting for hot days. We were welcomed in and all our questions about the menu answered by the helpful staff. Deciding to sit outside, we started with a Entree Salada Casa, the shareable sized salad that had mixed greens, tomato, cucumber, red onion, olives, mango and their house lemon vinaigrette. My daughter chose the fettuccini with Formaggio sauce while I chose cheese ravioli with La Rosa sauce. Our entrees came with a roll. We both had enough to take half home with us. Plus, we left room to get a bambini sized gelato to share. Our all time favorite flavor Stracciatella, sweet cream chocolate chip. A perfect ending to a lovely meal.
