I usually wait 24 to 48 hours before posting a review so I can digest my meal and "digest" the experience. No need on this one. Two and a half hours....to eat dinner and dessert! Two and a half hours of absolute.....BLISS! If you plan to come to this wonderful restaurant, don't expect a quick "in-n-out". Take your time and enjoy every minute of this experience! They pace your meal perfectly and its delightful! My wife and I had never eaten at The Fort but--being Colorado Natives--have always wanted to. It did NOT disappoint! We arrived a half hour early of our reservation to sit at the bar and have a glass of wine but the sit-down bar was closed. Note: its only open on Fridays and Saturdays. We got seated immediately by a very friendly host, We were seated on the patio which has a fantastic view. Atmosphere was low key and, while not muted, very mellow and relaxing. We were greeted by Emma who would "be assisting our Server Tyler". After chatting a bit we learned she had been there a year and it was her favorite restaurant she had worked at. You could tell because she was happy to be there and it showed. Our server, Tyler, arrived with the drink and app menu. The menu was explained--with recommendations. My wife ordered a glass of wine from the "wine bible"-an EXTENSIVE wine list. I ordered the Trade Whiskey. Bourbon, red pepper, tobacco and gun powder--yes I said gun powder! I'm not a whiskey guy but felt like I needed to do it to stay in the moment. VERY good! Tyler, though a little soft spoken, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He made us feel right at home and welcome. A little later came the appetizer. We had the Empanadas and I'm a bit of a snob about emenadas. These were fantastic! The pastry was unbelievably flaky and buffalo filling was delish! It came with two sauces. A tomatillo based and a tomato based. The tomatillo was a little sharp and tangy but I'm not a huge tomatillo fan. The tomato sauce was unreal good! Fantastic pairing with the buffalo. We ordered our meals--My wife: Mountain meets the Sea (Buffalo and Lobster) and I ordered the Game Plate (Buffalo, Elk, and Quail). We also ordered a side of mac and cheese (Spoiler Alert: OH...MY...GAWD!) Tyler informed us that he wouldn't put the order in until we were close to done with our app which was fantastic. One of my peeves is when you are just getting started on an appetizer and my meal arrives. Now the food. Couldn't have been more delicious! The meat was cooked perfectly (rare for me. Medium rare for the wife). The lobster was juicy and well cooked. The buffalo was a little tough but it is a sirloin so that's to be expected. The elk chop was perfect! Melted in my mouth. The quail was my least favorite but not because anything the kitchen did. Just not my thing. The only complaint I have is that the potatoes were a bit salty and I love salt. And the mac and cheese? Mouthwatering. We ended the night with the strawberry cream Creme Broulee. I thought it would be too sweet but it was delectable! To sum up: THANK YOU Tyler and Emma and the rest of the Fort crew! You were a delight and made our anniversary dinner memorable and fantastic!!

I hosted a team dinner at the Fort prior to heading over to Red Rock Amphitheater for a show. The food, cocktails, ambiance, and service were all 5 stars. We had a group of 19 people and everyone said their experience across the board was 5 stars. Highly recommend The Fort!!

Aye royalty was in the house this past Tuesday hahahah lookin at some of y'all's reviews it seems as if some of these Karens fancy themselves as some kind of Anthony Bourdain or something. Reviewing this restaurant like they're some food critic. It's like eerbody who comes to the fort has a chip on their shoulder because straight up this place is outstanding and the food and service are to match. Quail eggs and ribs keep it trill. I will be coming back again. And for all y'all who are about to treat your experience like you're some kind of Michelin judge, knock it off, kick back and enjoy your free bread rolls. Good lord! 5 stars.
