Had a great time, always do. When it came to our check our server was a bit slow.
Dinner at The Fort was amazing, as always. Great, from wine and app to entrees and dessert.
The buffalo tenderloin is absolutely delicious! This is the place to order it.
We had a wonderful birthday dinner here ( again). The wild game is exceptional, service great, Covid protocols perfect , and a beautiful view of Denver. We’ll be back!
Staff is very friendly. The stuffed mushrooms are amazing!
Loved it!!! The staff was amazing and the food was great!!
This is one of our favorites for birthday dinners. So glad we were able to dine-in again! As always, great food and service. Enjoyed the history lesson about the origins of The Fort.
Great Buffalo prime rib! Atmosphere was intimate and quiet with fire pits burning on the patio. Great view of city lights.
Great place for special occasions! Amazing food and great service
Good experience, nicely done - will surely return...
Great food, but pricey. Have been many times and it is good for out of town visitors.
The “special occasion “ was to celebrate their reopening for indoor dining! Went with friends. Simply perfect. Our waiter Kevin was as good as they get. His partner, can’t remember his name, was also superb. We’ve been going to The Fort since 1992. We have always had the utmost of excellent meals there. The ambiance is magical. We did takeout during Covid restrictions for Easter, Thanksgiving & Christmas. That also proved to be excellent but we certainly missed the beauty of The Fort’s dining areas. The Fort is our favorite restaurant of all time!
Great evening ......
Marissa was absolutely amazing
Order the quail! I’m a creature of habit and always order the game plate, but next time, I’m just getting quail. So rich, creamy, and flavorful. Delicious dinner to celebrate a birthday. The complimentary birthday chocolate dessert was to die for. I’ll be back soon.
It is great to dine out again. The Fort was exceptional and has new menu items. I felt very safe there
The Fort is one of our favorites. If you're not from the area, you must include it if you travel here. It's superb.
So very happy that they have reopened... food and service was totally excellent.. decorated so great with outdoor lights everywhere.. Buffalo prime rib and the Game plate was so delicious... and to top it off the Granita for dessert was the very best.... the best place to dine ever and the whole staff was excellent.. Yahoo they're back !!!!!
Wonderful way to spend our anniversary! We are planning our next visit!
We started coming to the fort in the 1970s,,, usually come 2-3 times a year. When we heard that you had reopened, came up for our anniversary,, Excellent service and dinner
21st anniversary. As always, The Fort didn’t disappoint! Friendly and attentive staff, delicious meal!
We finally got to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary at the place we were engaged! Hands down always great food and excellent service!!
Love this place. Great food and wonderful setting.
Service was superb. Food was excellent and well proportioned. R.M. oysters were slightly overcooked. Ambience is unique. Our experience was well worth the price.
Buffalo filet was delicious and cooked perfectly. Server was attentive and pleasant.
We all thought that the service was slow, the food was average and the price for food and drinks was way too much.
Unique dinner spot - great food & ambiance
Lovely and delicious dinner for 2 by the fireplace! Ruth was fun and took great care of us!
We usually reserve the Fort for special occasions, but decided to go for Denver Restaurant Week. The Fort had tables well spaced so we felt completely safe while we dined. Food good and a good value.
Always great Colorado dining at The Fort
This restaurant has been a around for many years. And is still one of the top restaurants in the state. All you have to do is taste the food and know why. But it's not only the food but it is the atmosphere and the history souronding this place that sets it apart from anything else in Denver.
We arrived super hungry and it took a while to get our order taken but everything ended up wonderful. The chips and guac were fantastic, yummy salad with delicious rolls and then the entree. My buffalo prime rib was to die for but the best thing was my husband's butter buffalo tenderloin. While eating our meal I popped online and made reservations for Christmas Eve dinner for my family. This will now be our go to place for special occasions.
A wonderful date night, lovely ambiance and fabulous food. The service is superb
Very much enjoy The Fort. Always well taken care of.
Great experience good food and fantastic service!!! It is a wonderful experience!
