It was unsurprisingly busy, but we were able to snag a drink far sooner than expected (perfectly balanced Espresso Martini for me - not too sweet, but not bitter) and made it outside to the chilly balcony as people moved inside to escape the cold. The lights went on and we were graced with the most beautiful view of the downtown in the evening that I have ever seen, while sipping a fantastic cocktail. It's not cheap, but also not over-the-top for the quality of drink you get. The food up here is limited, but they offer a small cheese tray, and some fancy small bar-bites if you're looking for a light snack. I'm always looking forward to their ever-changing seasonal cocktail list!

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.

Service is ok, not terrible. Martinis don't always taste the same but I assume its due to a mixture of bartenders and how they choose to make the drink. Not sure if its the change in seasons but I've noticed a lot of bugs. Overall not a bad place to get a crafty martini.

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.

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.

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.
