Situated in the Red Rocks country 17 miles southwest of Denver on Hwy 285, The Fort is a true replica of Bent's Fort, (1833-1849), the first American fur trade post in Colorado. The Cheyenne, Arapahoe, Kiowa and Pawnee traded and intermarried at Bent's Old Fort, creating an economic and peaceful exchange of cultures in an otherwise violent West. The Fort building is on the National Registry of Historic Places, and celebrates the many cultures that traded at Bent's Old Fort. Our menu features "New Foods of the Old West" including the best cuts of buffalo, elk and quail, grilled to perfection. There are vegetarian options inspired by American Indian recipes including Corn Beans and Squash, known as the Three Sacred Sisters. The wine list is awarded the Wine Spectator each year, and the nine dining rooms, with intimate seating, has a 350 seat capacity, with real adobe "beehive "fireplaces that burn wood in the winter and fall months. Romantic. Amazing views of the Valley and Mountains!

    We had an unforgettable Valentine's Day dinner at The Fort in Morrison, Colorado. The ambiance was charming, with warm adobe fireplaces and breathtaking views of the valley and mountains. The service was impeccable, and the menu offered a unique selection of "New Foods of the Old West," including buffalo, elk, and quail, all perfectly cooked. The romantic setting and delicious food made our evening truly special. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience!

    We always have a good time at The Fort. The sausage platter was great. I got the Valentine’s Day Special and my husband got the Game Platter. Both were very good. The service from our server, Shannon, was excellent. Our only disappointment this trip is that they ran out of the Bourbon cake for dessert (one of the main reasons I chose the Vday Special) and the other dessert we substituted was terrible. It was extremely busy being a holiday, so the table they gave us was loud and terrible. We will definitely be back, but not again for a holiday.

    We had a really lovely Valentine’s Day dinner here last night. I had the special pre fixe menu, which included salad, buffalo steak, lobster tail, and chipotle chocolate cake. It was a great value and very high quality. Our server was attentive and kind. We were seated by the adobe fireplace, which was nice and warm. Would definitely recommend coming here for a special meal!

    Another great meal at The Fort. Those ribs looked like they came from a Dinosaur! Must be a foot long and tons of meat, just how I like it!

    Only down side, we had reservations for two. We were sat in the back bar area at a tiny table RIGHT next to one of (2) exterior doors. It was Valentine’s Day, so very busy. The staff kept using that door to cut through the outside versus walking through the busy restaurant to save time (I get it, but), it was literally freezing and windy every time it opened, along with other diners coming in early to have a cocktail before their reservations. The bartender was our waitress, she was absolutely amazing, food was good. Was just bummed that we got a cold small bar table for having reservations.

    Great vibe, great food and amazing service! We ordered the jalapeño poppers for an appetizer and they were delicious following that I got the Gonzales steak and my husband got the bison ribs. Literally melted in your mouth we followed that up with the tart for dessert and it was perfection.

    The Fort was amazing! The food, atmosphere, drinks were top notch! The only disappointment and one of the reasons why we were going to The Fort….was to try Rocky Mountain oysters! They were not able to make them. We will definitely be back to try the oysters and maybe experience The Fort in the summer! Bring your pocketbook if you want to experience many items on the menu!

    The tenderloin filet of buffalo is always fabulous - tender, delicious, melt-in my-mouth, full of flavor, prepared perfectly with the chef's special preparation. My friend had the lobster tail and both of us were moaning over our dinners (picture the movie: When Harry Met Sally - the restaurant scene). yes, we embarrassed ourselves and didn't care. Great wine selections. The mashed potatoes - which neither of us ever eat - were delicious! Salad and breads yummy! And dessert could not have been more perfect - fruit cobbler and Creme Brule. Fabulous! I usually get the game plate which is a great way to have it all. Since it was Galentine's Day, i decided to try their special and it truly was special!
