It was well worth it. The food, the ambiance, the service everything. Our server was super knowledgeable and remembered everything, checked in right on time. The building is also very well done, depicts history and makes you picture what life could have been like.

The service and atmosphere is great! Very personal hospitality – as in we were in a large group and I was needing non alcoholic beverages and they remembered to bring them to me without being asked! The Christmas carolers were awesome and visited for quite some time at our table. The food was tasty, smaller on the portion sizes, but flavorful. The rattlesnake appetizer was pretty good too! We had the game plate with bison, elk, and quail and a beef filet mignon for our entrees. The cheesecake was delicious and so was the chocolate cake. I definitely want to go back and try the buffalo bbq ribs!

The place is stunning ascetically. It truly looks like a fort! We had reservations and no wait to be seated when we arrived. The service was outstanding, with multiple people attending to our table of 6, without being intrusive.
The menu is very extensive and everything everyone got was delicious. The attention to detail was very impressive, every plate that came out was clearly set up with care.
There was a native American gentleman walking table to table playing the flute. He explained cultural traditions and how the flute is handed down. He definitely added to the experience.
Ok, the place isn’t cheap, with drinks and appetizers (no room for dessert), we paid just over $100/person but all of us thought it was well worth it! It’s not just a great dinner, it’s a unique and memorable experience!

this was part of a new cultural program that the fort has started. last night on the patio they had a program called echos of the drum indigenous people dancing and explaining pieces of their culture and way of life with a four course meal.
i can’t begin to talk the praises of the staff. even those programs seem to be for older adults they graciously helped us with ticketing with my kids who are pretty into indigenous culture.
we arrived way too early as well but there was a place below which looked like a wedding space and let my kids run to get the wiggles out. they also graciously allowed us to use the bathroom before the doors opened.
the meal was a great opportunity to teach my kids table setting and different service options.
there was alot of food served family style mollasses beans, rice, huckleberry cake, pumpkin soup just a wonderful evening altogether.

The Fort looks amazing inside—beautiful interiors that really set the mood. But the food and drinks don’t match the setting. Margaritas were watered down with zero kick; we asked for frozen, but got chopped ice instead of the smooth Texas-style frozen margarita. Meat was tasty, but the portions were unbelievably small for the price. Overall, it feels overpriced: you leave impressed by the atmosphere but disappointed by what’s on the table.

Went with friends for a special occasion – the food was delicious and the setting truly beautiful, with views of the city lights. Service was impeccable, and such a great variety of food that one doesn’t typically get to enjoy!

I had such a fantastic experience at The Fort, just outside Denver!
From the moment we arrived, the setting felt special. Nestled against the foothills with sweeping views and beautiful Colorado sunsets, the atmosphere is both rustic and elegant. It truly captures that classic Colorado charm while still feeling warm and welcoming.
The service was outstanding — attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely friendly. Our server took the time to walk us through the menu and offered great recommendations that made the meal even more memorable.
The food was exceptional. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of bold, rich flavors. You can tell there’s real pride in the quality and presentation. It felt like more than just dinner — it was an experience that celebrated the region.
If you’re looking for a memorable meal just outside Denver with beautiful views, amazing food, and top-notch service, this place absolutely delivers. I can’t wait to go back!

This place is unique! Many celebrities and presidents have visited. The atmosphere and service were impeccable… the food was exotic, just not that good. Dinner for the 4 of us was just under $500 and that didn’t include the tip. The Fort is kinda like climbing Mount Fuji. Once is cool, twice would be stupid.

Great spot for a special occasion. We had dinner on the patio and the views were absolutely stunning. Food and drinks were all great. Especially liked the prickly pear margarita and the Rocky Mountain Oysters. Everyone enjoyed their various steaks. Service was great and spaced out the meal perfectly.

Tasty game meals in a great atmosphere with ideal western views. Had the buffalo sirloin medallion, bone-in elk chop and teriyaki quail, with Fort potatoes and mac-n-cheese. All of the food was delicious and staff was very accommodating. A bit pricey but reasonably worth the unique experience.
