• Steakhouse • Morrison

Booked 53 times today

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!

Our server was very accommodating & patient with us, allowing us time to chat over wine before placing our food order. He checked on us frequently to ensure we didn’t need anything. Our entree were very good, as was the wine.

Lariat Lodge has become our new go-to Friday date night restaurant. The location in Littleton is easy for my wife and me to get to after work. The food is great. We've loved everything we've tried. I really appreciate the fact that there are side alternatives other than French fries such as sauted brussel sprouts (which is what I order). I love a good craft beer, and Lariat Lodge has some great ones. My wife prefers a good Cabernet and they have that as well.
