A unique setting, innovative cuisine and warm hospitality has put The Fort on the culinary map. What originally started off as the owners’ home took a creative turn to end up as a restaurant. Built in the adobe style, it reflects the Old West theme with its Mexican, Spanish and Native American influences. The main dining room offers a fine view of the surrounding countryside and the lights of Denver further away.

The Fort's intriguing menu offers staples of buffalo, elk and quail. A meal here could start off with roast bison marrow bones, pickled jalapenos with mango whipped peanut butter, pickled quail eggs wrapped in housemade bison sausage, Rocky Mountain oysters or braised bison tongue. Entrées could include 8 oz buffalo filet, braised and smoked buffalo ribs, grilled elk chops with wild Montana huckleberries, Mexican pork chops, pan seared duck breasts rubbed with coffee and ancho chilli, Atlantic salmon glazed with a tequila citrus sauce and vegetarian tamales. Satisfy the sweet tooth with desserts like chocolate chilli Bourbon cake, rosemary infused pannacotta with huckleberries, trapper's fruit sundae and fresh fruit cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Your choice of drink enhances the occasion.
