About this business

As a replica of Bent's Fort, it's a cultural crossroads on the historic Santa Fe Trail. This area institution, which has been reviewed in the New York Times, serves up southwestern fare to everyone from lounging locals to heads of state including President Clinton during 1997's economic summit. Scrumptious servings of buffalo and elk tantalize the tongue. More traditional fare like salmon, filet mignon and even a vegetarian plate is also available. Open Monday to Friday at 5:30pm and at 5:00pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

I come to Denver once a year to visit family for Christmas, so it's a special time for us to get together and catch up. My mom has eaten here several times in the past and insisted on taking us here the night I flew in town. I cannot rave about this place enough! The history of this place is so interesting. The entire dining experience was amazing, from the ambiance, to the courteous and efficient waitstaff, and of course the food was phenomenal. We had the opportunity to try numerous exotic dining options (Roasted Bison Bon... read more

The Forte is a upscale restaurant with exotic cuisine... read more
