"This sweet new spot started as a stall in Denver’s Avanti but graduated to a brick and mortar in Fort Collins. From the menu of regional American dishes, diners can start with broiled or raw oysters, move on to local lamb or pork chop and grits, and finish with some house baked goods." - Josie Sexton

"After getting off the ground at Avanti F&B, The Regional is moving up and out, setting up a full-service Fort Collins brick-and-mortar at 130 S. Mason St., expected to open Oct. 16. This will be Chef-Owner Kevin Grossi’s first at-bat with an independent operation, following a successful run out of his Lower Highlands stall for two years. The new 60-seat space is already fully staffed and construction is coming to a close, as final details on the menu are fine-tuned. The eatery intends to serve comfort food to the northern Colorado community, working with area partners including Native Hill, Jodar Farm, Fossil Creek, Raisin’ Roots, and more to build the menu. Service will include lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday to start, with plans to roll out a Sunday brunch within the weeks following opening. Lunch will encompass favorites from the food hall, such as the Canadian lobster roll, the Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich, and others. Dinner rotations will span the seasons, with items to start like a winter squash pudding, Elevation beef short ribs, seaweed and maple cured sockeye. “Properly defining ‘American food,’ is a funny thing,” Grossi said in a statement. “It’s so regionally influenced. But the beautiful thing is no matter where you’re from, there are dishes that make you feel comfortable and reminiscent of home.” Grossi turned to friend and fellow Avanti alum Jason Snopkoski to develop the bar program. The 16 taps behind the bar will include eight beers – a mix of local and domestics – four wines, a New England-style rum punch, kombucha, cider, and cold brew." - Gigi Sukin

The atmosphere is so cute and eclectic. The bartender was able to make a bees knees cocktail for me which was 10/10! Loved the variety of options on the menu—we ended up ordering a second burrata prosciutto appetizer for our family because of how delicious it was. Absolutely loved the chickpea curry with shrimp for my husband’s meal, the only thing I could’ve skipped was the avocado tostada which was a little plain. Overall great experience!

One of the best brunch spots I have been to in fort Collins! The cocktails were fantastic and their bar selection is unreal. We had four different dishes at our table and all of them tasted incredible. The breakfast potatoes are some of the best I have had and I highly recommend them!

How have I not reviewed The Regional here yet? This is absolutely our favorite restaurant in town. Heidi and CJ are phenomenal at making everyone feel welcome and remembering little things about preferences. The food here reminds me of why I fell in love with food in the first place: elevated yet comforting. Don't sleep on the pork chop from the regular menu. If they have specials - get them! You're in for a treat.

Yummmmmm. We planned a last minute trip to Fort Collins and stopped by here for dinner. It exceeded our expectations. The space is cozy and inviting. Our service was excellent - shoutout to Tyler. We split the double bone pork chop (photo is of the split plate portion), oysters and fries. I would order all again — so delicious and flavorful. We really enjoyed the cocktails too. The dessert menu looked excellent, but we were too full to indulge. This will be the place I tell everyone to go!!!

We had a large group reservation to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation. The entire dining experience was top notch. The food is absolutely incredible, the atmosphere is fun and the entire staff is friendly and professional. Multiple members from our group mentioned it was the best oysters and steak they have ever had. It is well worth the trip to this amazing restaurant.

I cannot oversell how good the food here is. The dishes are definitely from a creative chef and I really wish I could give them a hug. Flavors are balanced and wow. Have not eaten anywhere that has a Michelin star but I'd imagine this is the quality of food that earns it.

The staff is wonderful and very knowledgeable. The restaurant itself is beautiful with many plants throughout. The kicker is that the entree we had was awful. $37 for a beef cheek risotto with no flavor whatsoever. Even trying the meat alone it was cardboard with a weird cinnamon taste. The appetizers we had being the mussels and oysters were the best part of the meal but the entree just fell so flat. For the price, it’s just not worth trying again

I really, really like this place and wish I could give it 5 stars, but the service is slower than in the heart of Paris on a hot August day (read: snail's pace). Sometimes takes a solid 20 minutes to get a cocktail! However, this aside, we have had many memorable times here, and the food is modestly delightful.

What's not to like about this place? They have something for everyone. I really enjoyed the broiled oysters, cauliflower appetizer, and scallops & gnocchi. I even stole most of my wife's cheesy grits. Just awesome. They also have a nice assortment of cocktails. Very impressed with this place. The staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. The chef even came out to check on us during our stay. Throw in that the building is a really cool spot and it's a total win. Kudos to the people at the Regional. We'll be back. Josh

Ambiance and service were great. 2 stars were deducted because of the food. Pretzel appetizer was dried out although the sauce was tasty. Cauliflower was excellent. Lamb meatballs were very tasty. Main courses were Duck Cassoulet (large enough for two of us to share) Short Ribs Mole and a Fried Lion's Mane Mushroom Sandwich. The duck came with a sliced breast which was delicious and a thigh and leg confit. It was accompanied by a white bean, chorizo and pork stew. The stew and the confit were excessively salty. The mole on the short rib fell short as it was very bitter. The slaw that came with it was meh and the plantains were ok. The lion's mane with garlic ghee fries was good but again excessively salty. Perhaps the chef had a heavy hand with the salt and it was an off night.

Wonderful atmosphere started at the front door! The hostess read our party and arranged a seating that fit my wife and I better. Waitress was attentive and kept our water glasses full. She carefully explained the menu and helped us order our dinner. What a great variety! My old fashioned was great as was the mussels. Really glad we found the place and look forward to another visit.

Pretty good. Great service. Great cocktails liked the atmosphere. Very imaginative dishes. Prices seemed in line with our server was awesome. Still has a Black lives Matter sign on window?? Thought we were done with the political slogans on restaurants?

I like the regional, they have a nice ambiance, good cocktails, great happy hour and seasonal menu. After eating here a 4 or 5 of times I have some takeaways . Their best menu items in terms of quality & value are on the happy hour, and also their fried chicken is good and raw oysters great which tasted fresh & nicely shucked hard to find outside of Denver. It can get rather loud because of the layout of the restaurant so not great for business meetings but fun for friends or dates. We've had some hits and some misses there. We've had one good steak and one decent. The pretzel is different from what you'd expect sometimes the sauce has been broken but never not tasty. The short rib mole is one unfortunately on the spectrum of the worst I've had in terms of flavor and price. It was small, super under-seasoned, dried out which is a bummer for short rib which is a dish that usually you slow braise to create a succulent flavor bomb. The mole was meh, the coleslaw was meh, the tortillas fell apart and plantains dried out. This is no where close to a $45 dish, even with inflation. We will come back again for their oysters and happy hour which has some yummy dishes and cocktails.

This restaurant is a real taste of Fort Colllins. Even a nice, expensive restaurant and locals wear flannel and boots. No need to dress up. Very rustic with a cozy vibe. The chefs special was a delicious cod in a bowl with broth and bok choy. It was delightful. One of my companions ordered the salmon from the menu and it was basically the exact bowl with salmon. The squash with feta and nuts made a lovely main course for my other friend. The only snafu was that the bottle of wine ordered did not arrive until we were at least half way finished with our entrees. Only saw one waitress and she had a lot of tables to serve. Would definitely return here.

This was our first time dining in Fort Collins and I chose this place based on the high Yelp reviews. We didn't have a reservation but I only had to wait 5 mins for the team to clean off a table. We were greeted by our friendly server, Jax, who was nothing but kind and accommodating. He walked us through the menu and made thoughtful suggestions. We took in all of his suggestions and ordered the following: African Spiced Carrot Soup = a lovely, mildly spiced soup that I liked more than I thought I would. Truffle Mushroom Cheese Pretzel = this was my most favorite appetizer. The texture of the pretzel and creamy cheesy sauce was amazing. Regional Salad w Grilled Shrimp = just delicious with juicy shrimp on a bed of subtly dressed butter lettuce. West Coast Oysters = a great starter for those who love oysters like me. I got 1/2 dozen. Salmon on Israeli Couscous = the best salmon dish my hubby's ever had he states Mole Beef Short Rib = was absolutely yummy with a nice subtle mole sauce that wasn't overpowering. I made little soft tacos with the accompanied tortillas and slaw. ....and for dessert: Buttermilk Cheesecake in a jar = hubby inhaled that sucker; and I got the spiced date & butterscotch bread pudding = let's just say I was so full from dinner but I still made a sizable dent in that bad boy. We loved our dinner and had a wonderful dining experience.

On our last day in FOCO after my daughters graduation, it was Mother's Day and so very glad we chose The Regional. Great vibe inside, rustic and cool with friendly wait staff and bartenders. Drinks were great, my wife loved her spicy Bloody Mary and several different kind of mimosas. My daughter enjoyed the French toast which was fluffy, light, nicely sweet and very filling. We split the Fiesta Hash and there you really saw the true farm to table experience. Could not have enjoyed our time there more and highly recommended!

Stacie M.

Yelp
Cute place, opens into a few other rooms. Cozy, bright. We went for brunch. Two of us had the hash, which was flavorful but not a traditional hash with lots of chopped potatoes. We had a burrito and a pancake at our table as well. Pancakes were great! Hash was more like a plate of sautéed veggies with eggs, but nice flavor- I just wanted more potatoes!:) . Nice wait staff, food was clean and had a lovely presentation. I will be back to try dinner. There was a parking lot adjacent to the restaurant which was nice, that area can be tough.

We had a great time here for dinner. The ambiance is really nice, the service was good too but most importantly we really enjoyed the food. The oysters were really good, very smooth and flavorful. I like oysters that have a little bit of a "sea water " flavor to them and these weren't that kind but they were still very tasty. The burger was one of the best I had lately but they should offer Tabasco or some other kind of spicy sauce free of charge. My wife loved the salad. When making a reservation I would recommend asking for a table with standard chairs rather than high tops.

Food is ok. Atmosphere is very good. They seem to be low on coffee. Getting a second cup was an effort.

I have yet to have an enjoyable evening meal at The Regional (I've tried three times now), but the brunch wasn't too bad. I met two friends here and after ordering our mimosas we scanned the menu, debating what we should get so we could bite-bite-pass and share meals. I was torn between a sweet brunch or savory, and decided to get the fiesta hash - roasted potatoes, skirt steak, black beans, onions and green bell peppers with poached eggs. While the potatoes were perfectly seasoned, the steak was pretty tough and the vegetables seemed undercooked. The portion size was also incredibly small for the hefty price of $17, and I was not a fan of their house-made focaccia which had an odd texture when you're expecting a traditional focaccia. My first dining partner went for the breakfast burrito which was gigantic. He wasn't a huge fan of how sweet the five-spice on the carnitas was, but didn't have much else to say about it. My other friend went for the buttermilk pancakes and those were absolutely out of this world! Crispy edges with a delightfully pillowy center , fried rosemary, charred lemon syrup and honey butter topped with fresh grapefruit. We requested two times the amount of syrup to finish these up, but I would go out of my way specifically (and only, and this point) for these pancakes! I'll attempt another visit in the evening in the far future, but I'll definitely be back for these pancakes for brunch!

We showed up around 7:00 pm on a Saturday with no reservation and luckily found room at the bar. The place was packed and lively which made for a fun atmosphere. Despite being busy, we received great service from the bartenders. We started off with the salmon crudo which was excellent. A lovely balance of fresh and spicy from the peppers, aguachiles, and citrus, followed by a buttery finish from the fresh salmon. Next we had the stuffed quail. It was juicy with a lovely pot liquor base and tender greens. Very rich flavor. Lastly we had the side of shishito peppers which were nicely blistered and offered a great balance to the rich, stuffed quail. Be prepared to spend some money when you visit as the portions are smaller. However, I think it was very well worth it and a fun place for a celebratory mood or special occasion.

Had dinner with family of 7. All the dishes were incredible, service amazing and overall vibe was very fun. Definitely worth a return trip back if we are ever in Ft Collins again.

Definitely one of my favorite's in Fort Collins. If you're looking for an all around all star restaurant, the regional is the place for you! To begin, the staff and owners have excelled in creating a really lovely dining atmosphere. The inside offers a rustic and cozy vibe with plenty of plants, big windows, string lights, exposed brick, cool art, and a nice looking bar area. The tables are not cramped together and you have plenty of space to move about, striking the perfect balance between cozy but not cramped. The service is wonderful. Every waiter/waitress/bartender/hostess and warm, friendly, and super helpful in giving recommendations or explaining each menu item. And the food certainly does not disappoint. Something the Regional does particularly well is ensuring that each and every ingredient in a given plate brings a unique flavor or texture. The squash itself is roasted with a honey and chili seasoning, bringing out that lovely sweet-spicy flavor combination. From there, the Regional pairs it with sautéed farro, an herb chili vin, whipped feta, pickled apple, and pomegranate seeds. The sautéed farro works excellently as a calm base. The herb chili vin sort of emphasizes the original seasoning in a way that works. Then whipped feta provides a nice texture shift as well as an element of cream. From the pickled apple we get a little sweet tang and a bit of crunch. And the citrusy crunch from the pomegranate seeds top the dish off. I would highly recommend this small plate, and it is representative of the kind of precision and intention present in each dish at the Regional. Other fan favorites are: -Garlic Ghee Fries -Regional Salad -Harissa Roasted Carrots -Steak N' Frites (My Personal FAV!) -Sticky Date and Toffee Cake If you're in Fort Collins, head to the Regional for a meal that will most certainly leave you satisfied!

15 mins to be acknowledged at the table. The salad was $13 for some bib lettuce, sliced almonds and grated Parmesan. The burger was ok but the fries were clearly from a freezer and SALTY. I left hungry, unsatisfied and as though we had been ripped off.

Fort Collins unofficial Michelin Star restaurant. Been here several times before tonight, and always fantastic food, amazing drinks, great service and fun times, especially when surrounded by friends and / or family. Menu always changing with locally sourced foods. I had the pork chops, which were juicy and cooked to perfection. Most everyone in my party of six had something different. All thoroughly enjoyed their choice of entree, drinks and dessert.

1st time here and was excited to try their mac n cheese, but unfortunately that was years ago and their menu changed. No complaints at all. The burger was ordered with pink and cooked perfectly and juicy. Sauce on top was flavored perfectly. Chicken was also juicy and we took home extra sauce for left overs. Knowing all the food is from local farms is a great way to support Colorado all around. And for dessert the wife ordered their key lime pie. Super smooth and rich in flavor. Alex was our server tonight and definitely made our night. Amazing personality and knows the menu very well to recommend based on your likings. Highly recommended!!

BEST BRUNCH I'VE EVER HAD, for real. We visited Fort Collins a couple of weeks ago and decided on The Regional for Sunday brunch. The atmosphere was very cozy, and the live music duo was such a nice touch! The Regional's biscuits & gravy dish was honestly the best biscuits & gravy I've ever eaten. We also tried the waffle with berries & the breakfast burrito, both of which were divine. The food is fresh and made from scratch! Our waitress Rachel was great -- she was so kind and welcoming to us. We will definitely be going back to The Regional when in Fort Collins again.

Friday, September 22, '23 - my husband and I (and two other friends), while visiting Ft. Collins, tried The Regional, after reading their many wonderful reviews. My husband tried the tomato salad (which I also enjoyed), and the Quail, w/collard greens (and a pilsner). I enjoyed the Salmon (gf), over grits, w/a glass of cab. Jackson (Jax) was an amazing host for the evening. And CJ and Heidi - have created a wonderful refuge to relax, and enjoy many dining delicacies. If ever visiting, or residing in / near Ft. Collins - we encourage you to visit the Regional - and let CJ / Heidi (and their chef and sous chef, staff) share with you many wonderful creations - gluten / vegan friendly.

We have been to the Regional a few times over the past couple of years and it was our favorite restaurant in Fort Collins. We went yesterday and ordered the mussels which we've had twice before and loved. Don't know what happened since the last time we ate there, but these mussels were terrible. So bland, seriously lacking salt, which is odd because the dish has bacon in it?? We also added the bread for an additional $4 and it was horrible too. Really needed salt! We also had the meatballs, the sauce was pretty good but the meatball itself was overcooked and guess what..really needed salt! Idk if they ran out of salt or what but it's literally cooking 101 to add salt to dishes. We mentioned this to our server who didn't seem to care that we ate 2 mussels each and had one bite of bread. I also ordered "the hot one" drink, which was a warm cocktail, no where on the menu does it notate its hot (besides the title but I thought it meant it was spicy!). Since it was almost 80 degrees outside I had one sip and didn't drink any more. Server didn't notice and/or care. All in all, very disappointing and I don't think we'll be back.

Yelp
4% added to checks, only notice is small print at the bottom of the menu. The food and service were very good. The rating is due to the noise level (excessive) and the "hidden" 4% charge added to the checks. The place could use acoustical treatments, as it was so loud, I couldn't hear much of our tables conversation. Rather than simply raise their menu prices, they post in small print that they charge 4% so that their kitchen staff can make a "livable wage". Just be upfront about it, rather than be sneaky and surprise us at the end of the meal because we didn't read the fine print.

F A.

Yelp
ENOUGH WITH THE SALT. Seriously these guys over salt everything. And not like it's just well seasoned, many of those dishes are almost inedible. I know we may be the only people who feel this way as they are always busy but we've had servers agree with us Food is generally ok. While it is an amazing place the food should be spectacular.

Great food and service. Original take on things. They lose a point for the mandatory underwriting of their kitchen staff's wages.

I had a top-notch dinner here. The bartender was great and made me both a Manhattan and an old fashioned that I really enjoyed. I started with a half dozen oysters on the half shell. I was told that they were "Delaware" oysters; it wasn't clear if that was the variety or the origin. They were mild and sweet, not briny at all. A few drops of lemon juice was all that they could stand up to and I enjoyed them that way. The shucking was slightly less than expert. Some oysters were a bit mangled and I encountered more than one bit of shell. I had the Boston Bibb salad. The greens were great. The dressing was superb, with a balance of lemon and a slight bit of honey. This paired well with the lightly pickled shallots and pecorino Romano cheese. The toasted almonds sent it to another dimension. Lastly, I had the lamb Marguez meatballs. They were served in a red pepper and tomato sauce that was heavenly. The cheese, fried herbs, spices, and aioli were the frosting on top. The flavors were amazing! My only ding was that the meatballs were firm, instead of tender. It didn't take much away from the dish, though. It appears that Fort Collins has a lot of choices for food, but I am very glad I chose The Regional!

Visited for the first time on a Friday night and were welcomed by a friendly hostess. Their menu is small but very unique and they also provide daily specials. When our waitress took our order she did not write it down and that is perfectly fine with us, however, she came back and did ask my husband if he wanted the smoked pork because she could not remember what it was that he ordered. He said it was the ribeye and she said oh yes "I wasn't paying attention so how do you want that cooked"? We order the ribeye and the skillet ratatouille both very flavorful. The ribeyes flavor was delicious, however the quality of the steak itself for the price did not balance out. We were surprised that it did not come with a side, and after we received our order, we looked at the menu online and noticed it did not mention a side, so that was our mistake. It Would have been nice if the waitress would have mentioned this to us since she knew this was our first time and it would have been a great opportunity for her to upsell us am item on the menu. The skillet was delicious but it could have had more vegetables in it. Overall my experience was average and hostess was very pleasant.

Unfortunately I have to warn people, this place is a mess. Employees are trying hard, but you can tell that ownership doesn't care. Food quality is below par... don't order the pretzel thing. The place looks amazing but that's all. Hope this review helps kick it into gear, wont last long if that's the standard.

We went here for happy hour on a Tuesday (which apparently is all day). We went around 5ish, and the place was packed, the only table options were outside or at the bar - had we known it was going to be this busy in a Tuesday, we probably would have made a reservation! We ended up sitting outside which was fine because it was a nice day and they also had a fire going. We ordered the chowda mussels and 1/2 dozen oysters. My boyfriend said 5/6 of the oysters were good, but the last one was pretty fishy. Interesting twist with the pickle juice, we'd never seen that before. The chowda mussels were super tasty and of course we added the bread which was delicious!

We were drawn here by the Beat Bobby Flay buzz (see Coloradoan article, and episode S26Ep5). Chef Kevin Grossi is on vacation this week so they had sold out of the turkey pot pie. It's a good idea to pre-order this limited time special. ($12) We arrived just in time to order some happy hour items $1 off each oyster type (raw, broiled, fried). Did not try the broiled, but raw and fried were awesome! $6 small plates: farm salad was great, but the fried oyster mushrooms were lacking flavor and were a tad oily. The best deal is the $10 burger with beer and a shot. Burger is awesome and the bun has done everything bagel spice (yum); the beer must be old Aggie, and you have a few choices for the shot. I highly recommend the Rebel Yell bourbon whiskey. We finished with the sweet potato blondie which was incredible and I highly recommend. The ice cream is a coffee flavored Walrus made with sad panda stout. I like that the Regional makes an effort to use and collaborate with locally made ingredients!!! I almost gave this a 4 star review only because they asked us to get up at 7:30p so that they could seat an 8p reservation who arrived early. This did not bother me but it really bugged my dinner companions for whom this is an unforgivable pet peeve.

Start by saying it was Mother's Day they close at 2:30 and reopen at 4. We got there, there were several people still inside and some that just came in. I wouldn't usually do that so close to closing. But the hostess happily seated us. The server was great. Loved the eclectic look and atmosphere of the place. Great menu choices. Absolutely loved the sweet potato French toast, although I'm not a fan of nutmeg. The dish was great otherwise so that's my only suggestion. And I realize that is only my preference. My wife got the sweet potato and Kale hash. Very nice, fresh and healthy feel. I noticed a new tequila on the menu. One of my favorite tequilas, Don Julio, his grandson has started a new brand using the recipe and techniques of his grandfather. Lalo, well they had it here, so had to try it. The funny thing I watched the bartender pour it snd in a separate glass taste it and made a terrible face. She admittedly doesn't like tequila. I do however it was funny she didn't know I was watching as she sampled it. I like a good sipping tequila and they have a limited selection of alcohol very nicely displayed and nice selection of creative mixed drinks. Great place great food friendly service. A new thing for me is the "kitchen wage fee" that's a new one. I realize Covid changed everything, we're paying more in tips because it's seems to now be the norm to pay 20% as the low end and 25 and more on the high end. But now we are paying a up-charge for the kitchen. I don't think I'm ready to be political here but I noticed a BLM sticker on the window as I walked out. And I agree 100% they do, all lives matter 100% no matter what color or race or gender.

Oysters were the size of my pinkie at $4 each. Should be 4x that size. Also had to send the gluten free burger back to kitchen due to a regular bun being used. Generally disappointing.

Priced kinda high for what you get. Pork chops were good, the special tritip dish was very underwhelming. Service professional but quite busy.

Went to the Regional for a birthday celebration and had reservations for four people on a Friday night. The evening started poorly with un-attentive service that lasted throughout the meal and really bad quality food. Ordered an appetizer of Harissa Roasted Carrots, which were mushy and overcooked. Dinner was a simple hamburger and fries, which was at best McDonald's quality. Very disappointed. My wife's food came out undercooked and the server 'offered to re-heat it, or alternately provide a no-cost dessert', that the server promptly forgot when she presented us with the bill. Not a location I will be returning to or recommending to anyone.

As soon as I walked in I was already feeling the vibe. It felt tucked away and had sort of a nostalgic, cozy feel. Sitting at the bar enhanced those feelings even more and suddenly I felt like I was in a New York pop-up restaurant. The Food: We ordered a dozen oysters off the happy hour menu, the fries, and the oyster mushroom burger to share. The oysters were fine-- we had literally just come back from a vacation from the East Coast so it was hard to compare. No complaints though, especially for a land locked state. Fries were delicious, nothing mind blowing-- simply satisfying. The burger was fantastic. I've never had a fried oyster mushroom before but I loved the earthy notes and meaty consistency. The side salad was phenomenal as well and needed its own sentence to emphasize it. The Service: Top notch service from the host to the server. Our server, especially, was amazing. Super friendly, and not typical waiter friendly, but like a genuinely nice person. 5 stars alone for the service. Overall the food was great and the service and vibe was even better. Definitely going to bring some friends with us next time to make it seem like we know all the hip spots in FC.

Love that they have a seasonal menu, they recently changed in last week so we shared a few small plates. We enjoyed everything we tried - the broccoli and potato hot dish, broiled oysters, duck confit poutine, and fried oyster mushrooms. Top 2 would be the poutine (crispy fries, so much duck, wish there were more cheese curds) and the oyster mushrooms (2 huge mushrooms, crunchy well spiced breading). The poutine is a large portion, and all those dishes were plenty for 2 people! We need to come back and try their large plates. Things to note: At 7pm on Friday there wasn't a wait for an outdoor table, but at 8pm on Saturday a few weeks back they couldn't seat us because all tables were full or reserved for the night.

Everything was amazing! My husband and I went based on recommendations from a coworker. We ordered the Bibb Salad, hamburger (I got mine with GF bread-amazing!), fries, a drink, and dessert. Everything was awesome tasting. Fresh, delicious, and locally sourced!!! Service was fantastic as well. We WILL be back!

My companion and I wanted a fresh brunch for our road trip to Cheyenne and stopped in FoCo for a walk around old town. There is plenty of street parking and the neighborhood is great for shopping, window or otherwise, and people watching. The bistro is lovely with lots of live plants and plentiful outdoor seating. We had a hard time deciding because So many intriguing options! I ordered the strawberry spinach salad with goat cheese and G had the breakfast burrito. The strawberry salad was unseasoned, meaning no salt and pepper: however, it did include dried Rosemary. However the menu did not mention Rosemary. Which would have been a deterrent to me. I mentioned this to the server and she said there is no Rosemary in the salad. Well, I pulled it out and gave it to her. She said the salad includes mint. The explanation was that maybe the Rosemary accidentally tipped into the salad! It did take quite a while to be served, which we do not kind because we like to eat slowly. Don't be in a hurry!
