The Fort

"Wow just wow! Phenomenal food, amazing atmosphere and all of the staff were brilliant and extremely kind. My boyfriend and I went here for a date night. The Fort did not disappoint! Everyone was extremely accommodating and we had a wonderful view. The food was just fantastic, everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. This was our first time really having wild game as an entree; I’m so happy this was our first experience. I highly recommend this restaurant, we will definitely be back!"

"First, it’s iconic so it gets points for that. Second, it serves game and any foodie out there that shares that love will appreciate that. Otherwise, it’s a place of interest. I put it on par (sort of) with Casa Bonita except the food is better. That said, we went with our young girls on Valentines looking for something new. Had it not been a holiday, the experience might have been something entirely different. Given that, service was still quite good, food was great given how busy they were and the atmosphere was surprisingly mellow. The women’s quartet was the treat of the night and my girls especially liked the canon fire every 30 minutes. The flutist was also a privy to hear! The structure of the restaurant itself is quite unique and I’d say everyone should visit at least once. Again, it’s a Colorado landmark similar to the Buckhorn Exchange."

"The Fort was a great experience!! The food and drinks were amazing, service was on point and the atmosphere warm and cozy. If you’re looking to try some wild game, this is one place you will want to try. It’s right next to red rocks amphitheater, beautiful views of the city in the distance. They first opened in 1963 and have been servicing the people of Colorado with wild game for over 50 years. To start we tried the rocky mountain oysters, the bison eggs, historians platter as well as the buffalo tongue. For Our main course, we tried the 14 oz. Colorado natural beef New York strip steak w/ Fort Potatoes & the Forts game plate. For dessert we got the chocolate chili bourbon cake. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious!!"

"This is definitely one of the best restaurants in Colorado. Amazing cocktails, delicious food in good portions! The staff is always friendly and helpful. The wait staff is always gracious and accommodating for my disabled mother. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. You see the value on the plate for the money you spend. The attention to detail is top-notch. Truly a Colorado landmark. It's in my top five restaurants on the planet!"
