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!

    West Woods did great on organizing and executing their Valentine’s Day dinner. Food was delicious and staff was very attentive. We didn’t have to wait for anything and we felt the pricing was reasonable. We will definitely try another one of their events.

    The tenderloin filet of buffalo is always fabulous - tender, delicious, melt-in my-mouth, full of flavor, prepared perfectly with the chef's special preparation. My friend had the lobster tail and both of us were moaning over our dinners (picture the movie: When Harry Met Sally - the restaurant scene). yes, we embarrassed ourselves and didn't care. Great wine selections. The mashed potatoes - which neither of us ever eat - were delicious! Salad and breads yummy! And dessert could not have been more perfect - fruit cobbler and Creme Brule. Fabulous! I usually get the game plate which is a great way to have it all. Since it was Galentine's Day, i decided to try their special and it truly was special!

    Food was good, service good as well, no one was there, it was snowing and traffic was horrible, so it was expected. I will go back when weather is better.
