If you haven't visited the newly remodeled Foothills Mall in Fort Collins, you are missing out on a delightful experience, with its large open lawn area surrounded by charming shops and restaurants. One of the best of these is Smokin Fins. On a nice day, you can sit outside and appreciate this fantastic setting while savoring a great menu that includes seafood, sushi, and a grill, offering traditional burgers for the turf crowd, all moderately-priced. I enjoyed the Lobster Fritters as an appetizer, and found my mango-shrimp tacos to be the best shrimp tacos I have ever had. They were loaded with plump grilled shrimp, and were perfectly seasoned. I also savored the delicious aioli rice that came with them. Yum. Ate every bite. The staff was quick and efficient, and extremely helpful. Smokin Fins is also kid-friendly, with a children's menu that actually has a fairly wide choice and a nice-sized serving for the little ones.
I highly recommend this restaurant, which also has other locations in Colorado, Idaho and Arizona. Can't wait to come back!
