History
In 2001, Fort Collins native Mike Reeves opened Fish, a fresh seafood market and restaurant in Old Town Fort Collins. Fish was a place where quality food was as important as quality people, customers would feel welcomed, known, and satiated, and one and all could find fish so fresh, someone might get slapped! Kat Reeves was one of the original employees at Fish, and later became Mike's wife and business partner. She and Mike spent more than 18 years slinging fish and nurturing one of the best restaurants on the Front Range before deciding it was time to make some changes, so they created a partnership with the most dynamic of all the chefs they worked with, Ryan Damasky. Together they created a concept structured on the foundation of friendship and community that was the cornerstone of Fish, but included much more of the NOCO population with a greatly expanded selection of menu fare and a decidedly French twist.
