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.

An adventure The Fort is a unique restaurant for a special occasion or to treat out- o-f state friends or relatives The menu is so unusual that there is something for everyone. Everything is delicious and the desserts don't disappoint. Expect to pay for a fine dining experience, though.

Still a Great Attraction What better way to show Colorado to your east-coast guests? The food is always good, but the setting -- looking down on Denver at night -- always gets them.

True Western Dining Experience! This is the place to bring your out of town visitors when looking for a unique Colorado experience! Their cuisine is excellent; the only complaint I have is that their dinnerware is blah -- they could find some other plates that have a more Western theme. The buffalo is to die for, my husband loves it with Green Chile sauce. The house salad with hints of ginger is scrumptiuos! The dessert menu is to die for! Yum!

The food, mostly wild game, is prepared and presented beautifully, and the taste is fantastic. The location in the foot hills, over looking the whole Metro area gives a view that shouldn't be missed. Mothers Day we were group of eight on a very busy day. They had a choice of 3 special 3 course meals, along with their regular menu, so all had a variety to choose, and the service was perfect. The Fort is a l... read more
