About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Vegetarian-friendly
Charming

Our aim at Simmer is simple – providing you with the honest-to-goodness pleasure of eating and drinking while you relax in your favorite neighborhood bar. Whether you’ve come for the food, drink, or both, we hope you will feel right at home. When you step into Simmer, you’ll be greeted with a friendly smile. We’ve fashioned a warm, comfortable dining room that spills over into a spacious outdoor patio, complete with an open fire pit and tranquil water feature. Enjoy “Happy Hour in the Round” during the warmer Colorado seasons when we open up our overhead doors at the back of our bar, creating 360° of indoor/outdoor seating. Whether you are looking for an upscale décor restaurant for a date night, a casual vibe for a business lunch, or a laid back ambiance for a fun night out with friends, Simmer is the choice in West FOCO.

The ambiance was awesome…apparently, Sunday evenings are the best for a quiet, low-key experience. Food was great, as usual, and Jayden (sp?) was also awesome and attentive.

Thank you for visiting Simmer! We appreciate the wonderful review and compliments for Jayden. We look forward to seeing you again.

Service was great, even when they were packed. Appetizers were very good, but my entree seemed like it had been completed an hour earlier and then warmed up for service.
SimmerResponded on February 25, 2025
Thanks for visiting and your feedback. I'm sorry about the entree. We do cook everything to order but I'm sorry the quality was not up to standards. Your feedback will help us improve.

Great appetizers (devil’s on horseback, deviled eggs, and cauliflower hot wings). My entree was also excellent (Chicken Satay). Rounded out the meal with a very good Old Fashioned. Nice atmosphere, close to CSU, and good service. A hidden gem on the west side of Ft Collins!

Ok salad but not really worth the price especially with the added cost of shrimp.
SimmerResponded on February 10, 2025
Thanks for visiting and the feedback. I'm sorry the salad was not up to standards. I'd like to remedy this and will reach out privately. Again, I'm sorry.
