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!

    Amazing experience! Great service after moving us into one of the old tower rooms to sit by the fire. Very attentive staff and great recommendations. All of the food and drinks were fantastic. Only let down was the frozen vegetables next to everything else on your plate

    As always, after going for over 15 years the quality remains high, service superb and ambiance amazing. Last night was snowing and The Fort seemed "magical."

    We love visiting the Fort every time we come to Colorado! The setting is great and so is the food!!! The only issue is it was a very cold night and the restaurant was colder than normal.

    We had an unforgettable Valentine's Day dinner at The Fort in Morrison, Colorado. The ambiance was charming, with warm adobe fireplaces and breathtaking views of the valley and mountains. The service was impeccable, and the menu offered a unique selection of "New Foods of the Old West," including buffalo, elk, and quail, all perfectly cooked. The romantic setting and delicious food made our evening truly special. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience!

    Had a great dinner experience. The service was great, food tasty and prepared as asked and even selected a nice wine that was “on sale”. Nothing but five stars for this visit, kudos.

    We always have a good time at The Fort. The sausage platter was great. I got the Valentine’s Day Special and my husband got the Game Platter. Both were very good. The service from our server, Shannon, was excellent. Our only disappointment this trip is that they ran out of the Bourbon cake for dessert (one of the main reasons I chose the Vday Special) and the other dessert we substituted was terrible. It was extremely busy being a holiday, so the table they gave us was loud and terrible. We will definitely be back, but not again for a holiday.
