Metro Urban Food Booze - Fort Collins

What an amazing find! I call it 'so not Fort Collins. ' The location near the college may be deceiving but the upscale, well-appointed menu is first class. The decor is rustic modern, the music and acoustics are well modulated so you can talk without screaming. We had the special which included perfectly grilled octopus with Romesco sauce, olive tapenade, basil gastrique and carrot and butternut puree. What 's not to like about that? We had the pan-seared tofu with farro and it was simply amazing. Well plated and carefully thought out. The chef takes care to insure there are a variety of layered textures and the 5Ss in each dish. Our friends had the short ribs and we all enjoyed the Italian bidono for dessert. The beer and wine selections were excellent. This is fine dining in an artfully designed space. I can 't wait to dine on the deck. This is a must try. It is not your usual FoCo pub food or foodie wannabe. And it is well-priced. I look forward to a return visit.

Wow. I admit, I wasn 't expecting much when I first checked out Metro....but, after stopping in, I was pleasantly surprised. Each dish is expertly prepared and perfectly plated. Even the simple caesar salad looks like it should be on a foodie magazine cover. Nothing here is bland or boring. Their onion rings are one of a kind. The eggplant caponata will make you swear you 're eating beef. Even their Metro fries are far from the standard. This place is worth a visit. I know their location may not be 'convenient ' with FoCo parking just don 't let that deter you.

I haven’t experienced a place or food like this in a long time. The food is awesome and I love the layout of the restaurant. If you want to sit at a table or just chill on couch and have drink this place can accommodate, it is a comfortable place. The manager Jason and staff are wonderful and the chef Vincent makes the food taste amazing and you almost literally lick your plate it is that good.

Outstanding! Has an exceptional and eclectic menu, with a great beer lineup, and professional staff. Metro is already a favorite!

Nice place to grab some drinks and food. Loved the metro fries. Staff is friendly and give good suggestions.
